Polyzon Maker 0.3.3

The same files are on maker.polyzon.org. Installed copies on Windows and Linux update to it by themselves.

New

• The Models page is a catalog: a list on the left, the model's page on the right with what it makes and needs, and examples of its work, each next to the picture it was made from. Models on Hugging Face can be searched and their README read.
• A model short of graphics memory still runs: part of it moves to main memory. It takes longer, but it runs.
• Models that run through Vulkan run on AMD and Intel cards and on built-in graphics.
• PyTorch models run on NVIDIA GTX 10 and 16 series cards with older drivers (CUDA 11.8).
• A running generation says about how long is left.
• If you agreed to anonymous reports, they now name the graphics card and processor models, driver and system versions, memory, and how much memory a generation took. The program asks again.

Memory and stability

• The program watches memory while it generates. When memory gets critically short, it stops the model while the computer still answers, and says what to do. A Mac no longer pauses programs and asks to quit Polyzon Maker.
• Heavy models such as Hunyuan3D-2.1 load lighter: weights are read from the disk as they are needed, and the model is built in half precision from the start.
• On a Mac, graphics memory can no longer take more than macOS recommends.
• If Polyzon Maker closes or crashes, the models it started stop too. A generation leaves you a couple of processor cores, and the system frees its memory first.
• The gentle mode («You can keep using the computer») is on for older installs too.

Fixes

• Models download over several connections, and a download goes on by itself after Wi-Fi or a VPN drops.
• Pixal3D models face the front, not away from it.
• A model is prepared for printing once, not each time it is opened.
• The model view no longer grows by itself.

Easier

• The 3D view's toolbar is smaller.
• The result page's other actions are in one block, and CAD's and OpenSCAD's file actions behind «⋯».
• Every border between parts of the screen can be dragged: the model list, the result's side panel, a tool's settings.

SHA256SUMS.txt holds the checksums.

The Windows installer has no code signature yet, so SmartScreen may ask once: «More info», then «Run anyway».

The Mac disk images are not signed by Apple, and they do not update themselves. The first time, macOS refuses to open the app. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and press «Open Anyway», or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Polyzon Maker.app" once. They were built on GitHub's Mac by mac.yml, where the app started. Builds of 0.3.2 ran on an M4 Pro Mac; this one has not been run on a real Mac yet.

По-русски. Те же файлы лежат на maker.polyzon.org. Главное:

• страница «Модели» стала каталогом, с примерами работ возле исходных картинок;
• модель, которой мало видеопамяти, всё равно идёт, частью в оперативной памяти; модели на Vulkan работают на AMD, Intel и встроенной графике; модели на PyTorch — на старых NVIDIA;
• программа следит за памятью и сама останавливает модель, пока компьютер ещё отвечает; тяжёлые модели загружаются легче;
• скачивание идёт в несколько потоков и продолжается после обрыва сети;
• во время генерации видно, сколько примерно осталось.
