Looks like macOS X Big Sur is dropping support for OpenGL and this is causing the Tinkerine Studio to crash. Is there a current/beta version of the software to test out on Big Sur?

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for contacting Tinkerine. We have confirmed Tinkerine Suite 3.0 currently has a compatibility issue with Apple macOS Big Sur. Users have reported the program freezing on launch and we are currently working hard to come up with a solution.

Currently, there are no known compatibility issues with the Windows operating system.

We are currently working on Tinkerine Cloud, a web-based slicer that is compatible across operating systems. If you would like to sign up to be a beta tester, please click here.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,

Andy

Sounds good, I've signed up for the beta. The issues I've seen with Big Sur and the Tinkerine Studio revolves around OpenGL. Can bypass some of the initial issues brought up by updated/lack of OpenGL. I've edited the Resources/lib/python2.7/OpenGL/platform/ctypesloader.py and updated fullName var:

fullName = None

try:

# fullName = util.find_library( name )

fullName = '/System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework/OpenGL'

This gets me a bit farther, however, now hitting the following:

No handlers could be found for logger "OpenGL.arrays.arraydatatype"
