Bug with Nth frame rendering, watch out!

[Chris LeBlanc]

Hi all,

 

I don't usually post, but this one needs to be known about.

 

I just noticed a bug which caused 5 out of 6 of my frames not to be saved. Whats worse is every frame was actually rendered, but only every 6th one was saved.

 

Here it is... the "Every Nth Frame" spinner is active only when specifying frames in the "Range:" section. (see attached image) The spinner is not active when specifying frames in the "Frames:" section, so one would think it would not have an effect, right?

 

Wrong. When netwoork rendering, all frames will be rendered as expected, but only the nth frame will be saved.

 

I have reproduced the bug on Viz 2005, only when network rendering.

 

Good thing this was caught in my test runs and not the final.

 

Regards,

 

Chris
