Sculptris keeps crashing

[Douwedaki]

Dear Mac-Forums,

I just downloaded and installed Sculptris (a 3d modeling software by Pixelogic). I can properly open the programme and click a number of buttons but whenever I touch the modelling sphere or plain it crashes immediately, time after time. I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) running on El Capitan 10.11.3 since 3 days.

Some more specs:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory on 2.53GHz configuration.
2.53GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 3MB shared L3 cache
4GB (two 2GB SO-DIMMs) of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM
It should support 1024 by 768 resolutions according to the tech specs....

Any idea why it keeps crashing? My system seems to fit the Sculptris requirements (http://pixologic.com/sculptris/requirements/). I am not such a tech expert so a relative laymen's explanation would be appreciated!

I attached an apple crash report.

Thanks in advance!

Looking over the Sculptris requirements, it appears the program may not support versions of OS X other than 10.5 and 10.6 both of which are long outdated. It's probably best to contact their support and ask if the program supports El Capitan. We have no idea, only they can answer that question. Let us know what they say.

And Welcome to the Mac-Forums.

Dear chscag, Thanks for your reply. Strange enough it had to do with the full-screen mode in which the programme opens automatically. If you, after start-up, exit full-screen mode and then start working Sculptris does not crash. Once you exited full screen mode you can either start working or go into full screen mode again without a problem.

Strange...Best, Douwe
