rviz rendering issues (disjointed triangles)
I'm running ROS fuerte in Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Complete fresh installation. No issues setting it up.
The problem appears whenever I try to render a model in rviz I get only a partially rendered model. For example if I launch the Motoman planning components with the line;
roslaunch sia10d_mesh_arm_navigation planning_components_visualizer.launch
I get a render of a a bunch of disjointed triangles which almost represent the robot.
I figure this may be an issue with my graphics card, which is a NVidia Geforce GT630M with Optimus (Which I know linux doesn't support the Optimus technology). I believe Ubuntu ignores the Nvidia card in this setup (by default) and just uses the Intel integrated graphics.
Everything else seems to run fine. Other 3D graphics packages display .stl files fine, it just seems to be an issue with rviz and this setup.
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this issue, and whether there is an easy fix, or should I do battle with trying to upgrade my graphic driver?
Update: Can render .dae (Collada) files. Possibly similar to this: https://code.ros.org/trac/ros-pkg/ticket/5111
