Open Dental Forum

I noticed a new graphics setup for directx when I compiled and we upgraded from 19.2 to 20.1 with the new sparks3d.dll and Sparks3DXEngine.dll in the Sparks3D folder.

I checked and the 2 .dll files are in the subdirectory "Sparks3D" of OD, however the program is not seeing them and does not allow selecting that as an option in the graphics setup. I am still stuck using OpenGL, which is subpar and without the perio chart...

Any help on what I need to do to get it working or is this not ready for prime time yet?

On my computer it also says Sparks3D.dll not found, so it might not be ready for everyone.

Went ahead and pushed 20.3.8 beta out to all my workstations, and this is the case with the beta as well

Go to my pc, C drive, program files 86,open dental. There click on sparks3d and delete sparks3dengine.dll.
Error goes away.

Error goes away. Restart open dental, it works fine.

kknohria: Not sure what you mean. What specific version are you on? This has all been working great for months.
