Ive had this before but have forgotten the workaround, so any help greatly appreciated, as I have zero time to resolve. I have 20 x 6k images to render, and everything works fine on each until it comes to writing to disk. When the rendering is complete BB returns some cryptic msg about a TIFF error…

lol, gotta ton of space so not that. Seems to do it regardless of saved format. actually the error message doesn’t make any sense because I’m not opening anything - i’m trying to save.

Active backup somehow? Virus? Humh… very strange! Try different folder? Maybe u don’t have permissions to access folder…

I forgot to mention I can save successfully from the VFB window on the nodes. Please help…

Thats worrying… strange. Did you try to save to different folder maybe?

you are most likely running out of memory. Render into vrimg that should save just fine. Then convert the vrimg to format you need. Holding a 20k image in ram is a lot not to count the memory for the 3d and other stuff.

yeah you need to use VRimg and dont use “render to memory frame buffer”

[image] Phoenix for Maya : D.R. ? you are most likely running out of memory. Render into vrimg that should save just fine. Then convert the vrimg to format you need. Holding a 20k image in ram is a lot not to count the memory for the 3d and other stuff. It worked after a I restarted BBManager…

Wow nice one, thanks! Good to know.

So if using Vrimg how do I open my passes into photoshop without using the VFB or buying additional warez? If using EXR how do get my passes - the output seems to be RGB only? fyi I normally save separate TIFS for each pass and use the script/load files into stack in photoshop for my comp. Why ca…

Its the way different formats are stored/saved. For example tiff/PNG has to be fully saved in to ram and then copied to HDD from what I remember. Which low memory PC will fail to do and crash -if u render 20k+ Where as EXR’s can be saved strip by strip or bucked by bucked to ur hdd as it renders so…
