Hi Jim,

we have a issue insidde the plug while we are rendering on the farm images sequences with timewrap and without timewrap
we have this scene with "frames to pre-cache" set at 0, just to inform we use deadline and Command line mode aswell bacth render has the problem.

The problem is when Maya uses the expression to drive this texture sequences in some cases in random machines we get offset like the frame for
example 100 is loading at 100 and at 101 we have something like frame 200 load.

we use this expressions:

the default from the plug :

Code: Select all

octaneImageTexture1.frameExtension=frame

And when we have timewrap this one :

Code: Select all

octaneImageTexture1.frameExtension=time1.unwarpedTime

This happen with any scene with the imager on one scene set on deadline on multiple machines to render different parts of the animation.

Of corse Standalone doesn't have this problems. must be something with maya I think "frames to pre-cache" maybe when the scene is load in some cases doesn't have
time to run the expression for the rendering maybe... Not sure the reason behid

We did a work around export Orbx files and render on standalon but scenes are heavy and this take a lot process on the workflow.
Or this way which the best one we use Proxy orbx to load the sequence imager and apply this shader on the meshes inside maya works well as a rack for last minute but would be great
to take a look please

Best,
JO

Found a problem, if you use several reference models with UDIM, then when you open the saved scene, the textures are not loaded

Hi Kuzbasscot,

We are unable to replicate this issue.
Could you please share a sample scene through PM if there is any copyrighted material?


cheers

Any comment on this Guys???
