cribbidaj Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 I'm using A:M 18.0p SE3 on a Mac running OS 10.11.6 with an nVidia Geforce GT 750M. When rendering a choreography at Super35 res I'm able to render one frame at a time successfully, but while attempting to render multiple frames A:M consistently crashes. I've stopped many of the background processes on the computer to allocate as much processing power to A:M as I can, but the crashes still consistently occur (only when attempting to render multiple frames - the software successfully renders to first frame I've selected, then crashes). My current workaround is to stay at the computer and render one frame at a time, which does not cause the software to crash. Any idea what's going on? Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 6, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted July 6, 2019 When you are rendering multiple frames are you doing it to an image sequence or to a video file? My standard suggestion is to always render to an image sequence and then compile the frames to video in some 3rd party video editing app. Quote
cribbidaj Posted July 6, 2019 Author Posted July 6, 2019 Hi Robert - yes, rendering to image sequence (.tga). As a follow up, I'm assuming now that the problem is in some part of the specific scenes I've been rendering. Perhaps lighting, or transparency over a model's eye's, or something I'm not catching. These scenes take place within a house I've modeled, but the lights in the choreography are in their default states, which causes some camera angles to render with different shadows, darkness, etc. Because I really don't have a deep grasp of lighting I just render with something that "feels" cool. When I have rendered scenes without the house as the "environment" all rendering works without crashing. I've finished rendering the scenes, so . . . I may upload the project soon so that I can hopefully learn from you or someone else on the forums what is going on in those specific projects. Thanks man! Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 6, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted July 6, 2019 Sounds like a good case for a bug report! Are you permanently on v18? Haven't tried v19? Quote
cribbidaj Posted July 8, 2019 Author Posted July 8, 2019 I'm using v.18p, but sometimes when I click on the alias it opens in v.19. In general, I'm working in 18p Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted July 9, 2019 Hash Fellow Posted July 9, 2019 To be a report-able bug it would have to be some thing observed in v19 Quote
