Hasta La Motion!

Does anyone have a set of cache / diskCache settings that tune up shake 4.1 to work with 6K images? I’m currently crashing about every 20 seconds or so with the following errror:

shake(1511,0xa0338540) malloc: *** mmap(size=104861696) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can’t allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
error: memory allocation failed

I have a new 12core 48G RAM OSX 10.6 machine.

I made an attempt to create a custom memory.h file (see below):

diskCache.cacheMemory = 512;
diskCache.cacheMemoryLimit = 1024;
diskCache.cacheSize = 51200;
diskCache.cacheMaxFileSize = 16*8192*4320; //8K 16bit Holds 8K 10bit image
diskCache.cacheLocation = "/scratch/shake";
cache.cacheMemory = 256;
cache.cacheMemoryLimit = 512;

Shake still crashes. W/O the memory.h file.

Any help would be appreciated…

thx

Hey guys.

May be it will help someone. I have corrected its working capacity under win7 with full OpenGL HW acceleration. It works for me perfectly ( corei7-920/geforce-460/win7 ).

Just replace old nrui.dll from Shake root folder with file from archive. >>> link >>>

In avoidance of garbage in GUI is necessary to set system variable NR_OPENGL_RENDER=1. You could do it also via cmd file

Issue with launch application under Vista/Win7:
– you have to use SIGN="0" TS_OK instead SIGN="0" in your license file

Enjoy

I’m working on a CG game cutscene.
Working with frame sequences.

I would like to be able to display the file being sourced in a text node.
I know I can display the currect frame in shake by using "{time}"
I also know I can display the entire sequence name of a file in using ":FileSequence.baseFile"

I would like the display the current frame being sourced at each frame of a ‘file in’ node.
It happens when you flip book an image sequence. You see the .exr /.tga displaying at the top of the flipbook.

I would like this because I’m being forced to use image sequences that are rendered every 4th or 2nd frame and having to slide a lot of stuff around. I would really like to have the option to display the image being sourced at any given shake frame.

Any help is appreciated.

Hey Guys, I did a quick search and dont think anyone has asked this yet (sorry if it ends up being a re-post :/) I am doing some wire removal, and need to paint some bits out. I was hoping to use the QuickPaint clone tool, and wanted to make it so that wherever I painted, it created an alpha (so I can mix it back in with grain later on).

In the past, I have always use a common node to create an alpha, however I was hoping to be able to use my paint strokes and keep the detail around the edges.

Any suggestions?

thanks so much!!

I’m having problems bringing in some 16bit linear dpx shots into shake running 4.0 (Not connected to a network so trying other things until I can see if 4.1.1 will solve the problem, don’t think it will by looking at the documentation)

It seems to display as black frames with noise running down one row of pixels on the far left side

I’ve opened the files so know the information is all there

has anyone had this problem before? Some help would be most appreciated I’m stumped on this one. Not able to post any frames i’m afraid
