Yesterday’s release of Mother 0.2 had a bug which I’ve just fixed with the new upload 0.201.
Many thanks to Aaron Koblin for not only reporting that it doesn’t work but also pointing out how to solve it!
The bug was such that if you didn’t have a version of processing installed in “C:\Program Files\processing\”, Mother would start to a blank white screen, because it was looking for OpenGL dll’s in a path that does not exist. In the new 0.201 upload, I have included these dll’s and altered the program so that it uses the included ones.
I did test the 0.2 version on three different machines, but it turns out all three had processing installed on the above path. Will need to start testing on a fresh Virtual Machine installation of Windows or I’ll keep bumping in to simple errors like this…
So if Mother 0.2 didn’t work for you, the good news are you didn’t do anything wrong, simply download 0.201 and give it another shot!
Is it really windows only? Can it be ported to OS X?

Yup, windows only at the moment. The Mac version shouldn’t be long now though, an independent code contributor has confirmed that she got it working on OS X, so all we need to do is test it and package it up. I believe sometime next week it should be up!

dear onar3d had the mac version relesed
Sorry, although I have an 0.3 version for windows that is near completion, I have no Mac version to distribute. I know for a fact that the program works on Mac, but have not yet been given a distributable version from the person who reportedly made it work.
I cannot possibly do it myself unfortunately, as I do not own a Mac, nor do I know how to use one…
