Hi -- Just trying to find out if Vantage can run in a Windows virtual machine on a Linux system (Ubuntu)? Using GPU passthrough support? Thanks!

We don’t know. I’m quite skeptical because we use DXR which probably isn’t supported even with emulation.

OK thank you for your response, that makes sense. We can run Vantage headless on a Windows server, correct? Are there any flags that need to be set? I did not see anything in the command line arguments related to running headless… Thanks in advance!

What exactly do you mean by “headless”? Only the viewport without UI? In any case Vantage is a DirectX app, so the server should be able to run such apps.

Hi Simeon -- Thank you for your response. Our use case involves generating large photorealistic image datasets for training neural networks. We will be exporting scenes from our virtual world simulation platform, as a .vrscene file, which we then want to render in Vantage. The whole process needs …

We haven’t changed vantage_console. We need more info about the error you’re getting.

The exact same command works for me. There is no difference in how the two exes are installed. Maybe something happened on your machine, like some security software changing something, I don’t know. Try installing the latest 1.7.4.
