Kelley Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Last night I put together a short [18 sec.] Choreo of spheres/planets moving around each other. Simple in the extreme. But when I try to render it [at 400x225_final qual.] it does fine until it hits Frame 15 [3%] and stops. The Elapsed Time counter starts off at about 18 minutes remaining and counts down to about 16 until lock-up. Then it starts to increase in time remaining. Last night I was surprised to see that it was saying 4 hours to complete. I decided to ignore it and do something else. When I came back, it was still at 3%, but said 30+ hours to complete. When I hit the Abort button I get the Vista blue-spinning circle...forever. You can't access menus let alone shut down A:M. Only the Windows Task Manager will do that. I had two other Choreos in the document using the same simple planets. I deleted them. All same-same. I moved the project from my laptop to the HP. Same. [Frame 15/3%] So it's not one of my computers getting squirrely. It seems to be in the doc. Suggestions? PRJ_TEXTURES.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer yoda64 Posted January 3, 2009 Developer Share Posted January 3, 2009 Please open a bugreport on A:M Reports , it's in definition a bug . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelley Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Please open a bugreport on A:M Reports , it's in definition a bug . When you say it's "definitely a bug", did you try it on your machine? If you did, and it still wouldn't, I'll happpily file a report. But it's a problem I've never seen with A:M...and it's such a simple animation. What could go wrong? I'm posting an animation in which I take the same models into a new Choreo. and it rendered just fine. DRONE_ARRIVAL.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 3, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 3, 2009 I was going to test it but "STAR FIELD_01.tga" isn't in the zip. Also there are three chors in the PRJ, which one is the one that sticks? I think he meant it's "by definition" a bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyvern Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Bugs aren't discussed on the forum. They should be submitted to AM Reports so they can be logged and tracked. Submit the problem file with your report. -vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[KIBBLE CLOSE-UP] Here's the .tga, though it's not used in the problem child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted January 4, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted January 4, 2009 When I render at 400x225 it locks up on frame 16. But if I render at your original res of 800x450 it sails thru. Try that. If you get the same result note that in your AMReport I just tested the 1st second. 800x450_ShadowOnStarfield.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[much scratching of head.] Weird enough to definitely send a report. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
