Storage setup for large data volumes.

Anyone of you guys out there that could recommend a storage set-up for working with 4k .dpx files? Right now I have a server with 72.5mb/s download speed and 15mb/s upload speed. I also have two RAID0 SATA drives internally on my workstation. In the near future I will be working compositing allot of shots for a film. I think upgrading to some form off NAS,DAS,SAS RAID is the way to go. I just don’t know which one to go with. And I should also add that I don’t have endless means, but a rather tight budget.

3D bigger than synchronized sound?

http://createasphere.com/En/acess-bl…-boyle-3d.html

Geoff Boyle is a Cinematographer and Stereographer. We caught up with Geoff at Panasonic’s office in Burbank. We were meeting about logistics for the 3D Workshop that he is teaching for us http://createasphere.com/En/3d.html (along with Barry Braverman). We are producing the workshop with Panasonic and I used that excuse the pop into the meeting and record a podcast. Geoff goes over what to expect in the workshop but also explains why he thinks modern 3D technology is altering movies more than synchronized sound did in the twenties. It’s short because we had to wait for a break when the giant air conditioning vents quieted down between blasts of air.

color lookup curve inverse

Hey guys,

I was wondering, when you want to undo/inverse a gamma node of say a value of 2, you could get a second gamma node with a value of 1/2=0.5 and you would have your original image again.

Now i want to do this with a color lookup. There’s two points plotted on the curve. Now i want to inverse/undo that operation with another lookup curve. Is there an easy way to do this?

Cheers

Code:

set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 6.0 v5
push $cut_paste_input
ColorLookup {
 lut {master {curve C 0 x0.1598999947 0.092 x0.4950000048 0.696 x1 1}
  red {}
  green {}
  blue {}
  alpha {}}
 name lookup
 selected true
 xpos 1773
 ypos 4713
}


ZDepth via Channel Boolean

Hello friends!

I have been using Fusion 5 for quite some time now. Very recently I tried Fusion 6.1 and I did not need to set up DoF there until now. Today I tried the very frequently used technique of copying luminance (which they now seem to call lightness) of depth pass and copying it to Channel Boolean’s ZDepth channel. To my surprise, Fusion still kept saying it has no ZDepth. The original rendered depth pass is an EXR. So, under channel’s I set ZDepth to RED (later I also tried Green and Blue). When I try to see the ZDepth of that EXR, I see just pure white. But doing this on alpha works just fine. (I understand this would not be the correct representation, but I expected to see something definite, but there is nothing showing.)

Is there something I am doing wrong? Has something changed in Fusion 6?
