problems using rendered frames from Maya

Schaef · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2004 1:30 pm

I rendered about 400 frames from Maya into .jpg files and when i run it on turing i get to about line 45 and then it tells me that the picture could not be created.. is this just cuz turing is a piece of crap or am i doing something wrong?? Ive tried using Pic.Free but it doesnt help.

Could you tell us what's happening on line 45? Has it already drawn some of the pictures? If not, they probably weren't created (ie, a bad path name was given when you called Pic.FileNew).

All i am doing is a little 3d text animation.. it's drawn all of the frames up to then but then it just stops working and gives me an error.

A little code please?

you probably took up the entire memor dedicated to images. You can have a max of 1000 image IDs and I'm not sure on total memory size available. Use

code:

Pic.Free(picID)

to clear the momery after image is no longer needed

i did try it.. read my first post.

Schaef, show us the code that's causing you problems.

Schaef · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2004 5:46 pm

var pic:array 1..100 of int

pic(1):=Pic.FileNew("pic1.jpg")
pic(2):=Pic.FileNew("pic2.jpg")
pic(3):=Pic.FileNew("pic3.jpg")
pic(4):=Pic.FileNew("pic4.jpg")
pic(5):=Pic.FileNew("pic5.jpg")
pic(6):=Pic.FileNew("pic6.jpg")
pic(7):=Pic.FileNew("pic7.jpg")
pic(8):=Pic.FileNew("pic8.jpg")
pic(9):=Pic.FileNew("pic9.jpg")
pic(10):=Pic.FileNew("pic10.jpg")
% this continues for a while

for i:1..100
Pic.Draw(pic(i), 0, 0, 0)
Pic.Free(pic(i))
end for

um... can't u do this?

code:

var name: string
var pic: array 1..100 of int
for a: 1..100
name:= "pic"+intstr(a)+".jpg"
pic(a):=Pic.FileNew (name)
end for

instead of using 100 pic.FileNew statements?

Schaef, could you give us the exact line of code that gives you the error? From what I see all I could guess is that one of the filenames are wrong or something.

lol thx i didnt know about that b4..

Schaef · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2004 6:08 pm

this is what i have

View.Set ("graphics:max;max, nobuttonbar")
var name: string
var a:array 1..100 of int
for b:1..100
name:= "pic"+intstr(b)+".jpg"
a(b):=Pic.FileNew(name)
end for

for i:1..100
Pic.Draw (a(i), 0, 0, 0)
Pic.Free(a(i) )
end for

it gives me the error on the Pic.Draw line..

As I suspected. Make sure the filename is correct (ie, the file is pic1.jpg and not pic01.jpg or pic001.jpg), and make sure the pictures are in the same directory as the turing file.

Schaef · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2004 6:22 pm

well when u render frames in maya it automatically adds the numbers to the end of the filename so that cant b the problem.. i think it is somehow running out of memory and i dont know why..

Schaef · **Posted:** Mon May 03, 2004 6:23 pm

could it have anything to do with the fact that i have the pics set to 1024x768 resolution?
