Re: [Nuke-users] Re: Huge render issues in Nuke
glad to hear that aggressive caching is an issue as it means there is a bug now that's repeated on at least 2 systems - has anyone else seen this with more than the 8Gig memory its supposed to support (I had 16Gigs and it just delayed the bogging a bit longer so I don't believe aggressive caching is working correctly) Howard From: danielmargiotta nuke-users-re...@thefoundry.co.uk To: nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk Sent: Monday, 2 January 2012, 18:19 Subject: [Nuke-users] Re: Huge render issues in Nuke Thank you all! All the advice has helped greatly, we have discovered something interesting. When we render other formats besides EXR's the weird render sizing issues go away. Also it seems that the Aggressive cacheing function seems to let the computer render much longer without bogging down. I am going to try all of the terminal stuff today because our server manager is in the office. ___ Nuke-users mailing list Nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users ___ Nuke-users mailing list Nuke-users@support.thefoundry.co.uk, http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
Re: [Nuke-users] Re: Huge render issues in Nuke
when rendering on the farm are you controlling the amount of cache RAM
that a render can use? ('-c' option tot he command line). It certainly
sounds like you could have run out of RAM/cache. Another useful option
is the '-V' flag as that will dump out the cache stats at the end of
the render (or you could do something yourself after each frame using
a suitable callback in python).

Re: [Nuke-users] Re: Huge render issues in Nuke
The camera shake has a large bounding box so you are processing more image than necessary - you should crop this down to only what is necessary. Also it does affect the bounding box of the rendered exr. From my tests are you sure its a different frame size per frame or just the bounding box in the exr that you are reading? Also when rendering locally did you have nuke open as well. I think you are running out of memory however can you check your preferences and see if aggressive caching is on (assuming nuke 6.3) I have had similar issues with that on even (bloating renders frame per frame) though in theory I had enough memory to run it. I dont know if this feature actually works and support never came back to me as to why it was failing even though it should work. So if its on turn it off and see what happens.

Still more weird that its rendering wrong from GUI and ok In GUI. What is your log saying? (just launch nuke from terminal with -v or -V can never remember which. It says in the manual.) Randy S.
