Hey Luc-Eric, if you are looking for a puzzle worth tinkering with during eventual retirement, you might want to look into the implementation of a consistent workflow for Color Management using OpenColorIO, ACES profiles and the likes across multiple applications and levels of user proficiency.
The above is easily enough just as challenging as the early 2000s dark times of using mental ray with just a limited documentation and a cryptic "gamma" slider defaulting to a 0-1 range to start with... I´m exaggerating a bit but only to not spoil your joys in finding all those caveats yourself! -- That said, DaVinci Resolve is suprisingly easy enough to get into and play with, do simple comps, add glow, colorgrade a shot and render to a youtube/vimeo preset of personal choice. Loading a typical rendered *.exr sequence and seeing it mapped to the expected colorspace can take a moment of fiddling but eventually works. Even consolidating footage dragged in from the user´s desktop and all over the place into a user specified folder structure using "Media Managment" is already there. The world has come a long way in supporting artsy types... -- Thanks to you and the whole Softimage/XSI team for giving me a few years of joy working in 3D, especially using easy peasy custom pivot orientations. -- Cheers, tim Am 09.06.2020 um 22:10 schrieb Luc-Eric Rousseau:
I think I saw that too... just download Blender or Natron, or Toxik :P Even Digital Fusion is free now I think, somewhere in Da Vinci Resolve. What a great time to be frugal!

I remember because I used it succesfully on several projects). Years later for some reason, caching of frames didn't work anymore on my side. No matter what I tried adjusting the "ImageMemory Size" or "Maximum For Caches" in Preferences, it never cached anything. The memory consumption by the xsi.exe also stayed the sameinside the windows task manager. I tried it right now with version 2015 SP2 on Win10 and it is still that way. Just wondering. :) Out of curiosity, was there any incompatibility with the windows memory management or something like that? Sven ------ Softimage Mailing List.
