Hello I’m working with Dante in EIAS 7. Dante_31.plm, reinstalled yesterday with the latest version you sent me Blair.

In Animator seems to work well but with renderama is giving continuous problems.

error: “reading scractch data: Plug-in could not allocate needed mamory file”

I have 2 Gig ram per camera and the Dante project is really small.

The “data base File Name” in “renderama mode” it seems that does not work.

Someone could tell me the steps to distribute the rendering of Dante in Renderama? I have read in the manual but does not seem to work.

Please someone could tell me if you use Dante + renderama + Mac with success?

Thanks in advance
Diego

Exactly what were the steps you took (in gory detail, please)?

Dante_31.plm, reinstalled yesterday EIAS 7. 1. Octacore Apple machine machine OS X 10.5.2

Well, I have a Dante plug-in linked to a bouncing Rodeo ball, in animator works OK.

When I render with the local Camera, everything works fine except that the camera jumps in the last frame, in the case to render. Img is not serious but when you render .mov can not access the file.

And for Renderama:

1 save the data file, in “renderama mode”
2 copy the data file in each of the 8 slaves into the each EI plug-ins folder
3 check out “renderama mode” and ask for Network render.
4 start renderama…

the result is crazy particles. and a lot of error: “reading scractch data: Plug-in could not allocate needed mamory file”

also I have problem with the motion blur, has black spots in many frames.

Thanks for you support.

Cheers
Diego.

Well, I have trouble allocating “mamory” myself.  Har har.

Okay, can you try this on a single slave?

I also began to fail me ram memory will be updated;)

We will be until Monday, with smoke pouring render farm, so we will do the tests I propose on Tuesday.

Thanks for support

I do face similar problem with Dante in the same machine (Apple Octo 3.2Ghz, Leopard). First time the project worked till 8 seconds (8 x 25 = 120 frames) and during rendering the Camera crashed with error. However now the source file can not be opened in animator. While opening only I get error message: “reading scractch data: Plug-in could not .....” in Animator, though I have more than 6GB RAM and 3.5GB allocated for the camera alone. Is ther any solution Blair. You are the only hope.
Also there are frequent crashed with Dante_31 in my Machine.
Plz help me.
