Maya :: Echo Every Command Enabled In Script Viewer
Sep 13, 2011
We use Maya 2008 and 2009 here, along with Turtle 5.1. Our exporter plugin only works with 32-bit Maya, so we are a bit tied to that as well. We are using Turtle to perform shadow and AO bakes for our game, but Turtle fails unpredictably when baking large (>4096) textures. Many times I see:
// Error: Error during baking, see script editor for details! //
Of course, even with "Echo Every Command" enabled in the Script Viewer, and every output option enabled in Turtle, I get no actual error message. On a 16318x16314 bake, it completes 75% of the bake, then does nothing for the remaining 25% (while updating the progress bar) and exiting with the above message. On 8K bakes, it will seemingly finish the bake, but not write out the texture. Sometimes, Maya will crash completely, either with the usual error dialog, or just silently close without any message whatsoever.
In my experience, running out of memory on a 32-bit program can have similar results, and it is possible that 32-bit Maya even running on 64-bit Windows 7 has the same issues, but Task Manager shows only 1.5 GB used by the Maya process at the time of failure, far below the ~2 GB addressing limit for 32-bit programs.
Using X5 to create a video file from a project file in the timeline.
After the file completes rendering, the project preferences default is set to play the rendered file. But I find that when the playing commences after rendering, the sound has an echo effect that isn't part of the original files. Like the original sound is reflecting off walls, and you get the same sound just spaced apart by a small time period. I've tracked this to what appears to be X5 playing both the rendered file and the project file at the same time. If I turn the project preferences item "play after render" off, off course nothing happens after rendering completes. And separately playing the rendered file, the sound is normal.
Is there a way to stop this echo effect? Ideally, just play the rendered file only. But failing that, change the preferences default. However, there does not seem to be any way to change the project preferences default for this item.
In Adobe Premiere, I am getting an echo when I change an audio clip's speed/duration. The change is from 100% to 103%. I've tried other values in the speed duration but all create an echo.
I've experienced a major issue with baking rigid body simulations in PhysX for Maya 2012 64-bit Hotfix 2. I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.
The simulation runs fine in the viewport, even in Viewport 2.0. The animation is a classic 10-pin bowling shot. When I try to bake, the whole thing goes haywire. Pins lean over and start dancing insanely. Not a desirable outcome.
In dialog boxes the drop down menus appear blank until I drag the mouse over it then the contents appear as I drag the mouse across. Also the cursor doesn't echo back (flash). I have tried updating drivers to no avail.
I opened my awesome camera projection mapping scene and all of a sudden the file doesnt work.I get a popup saying "Errors have occured while reading the scene that might result in data loss. Please check the Script Editor for details."
The Script Editor says:
file -f -new; // Error: This command requires at least 1 argument(s) to be specified or selected; found 0. // // untitled // commandPort -securityWarning -name commandportDefault; // mental ray for Maya 2011

Anyway, I googled it and "delete the mayafolder and restart Maya, thus creating a new mayafolder automatically" came up and so I did, it didnt work. The next solution apparently was to export eveything into a new scene, but only a third of my stuff is IN the scene so that doesnt work at all (yes i tried anyway).The last thing I did in the scene before I closed it down for the weekend, was to import about 10 nCloth flags into the scene. Disabling them all ofcourse, but still, that might be the reason it's crashing, I dont know.
There's a very long list that I have to sift through everytime I use the Text tool. I have deactivated a ton of fonts in font book. Is there somewhere else to delete or turn off fonts? I don't want to delete fonts the system needs, but I don't want them showing up in the list, either.
I have an i7 3770k, TWO AMD HD 7970s, 16 GB of 1866mhz ram and I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.
Why does Photoshop run (much) worse when I enable GPU acceleration? Do they do this on purpose so they can sell their "professional" graphics cards where the only difference is the driver is more "optimized" for programs like CAD and Phoshop?
I have having a weird problem with Photoshop CS4. First of all, let me give off the specs.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 7570 (Driver Version 8.960.11.1000, with latest Catalyst Control Center)
I use Photoshop CS4 for freelance work, and one of the tools I like to use is the Rotate tool. When I first got my desktop and installed Photoshop, everything worked fine. However, recently I was forced to perform and factory restore on my desktop due to a virus.
Today I started working on something and when I tried using the Rotate tool, it was not working (I go that error window saying it wasn't enabled). I checked the OpenGL settings to see it was enabled. Confused, I restarted Photoshop and tried again with no luck.
This turned into a search around the internet to see just what is going on, but the only thing I could find was suggesting updating drivers for my graphics card and Adobe, which I have tried with no success. I have found out that some people were having the same trouble as me, but what makes my case odd is that it was working fine before the factory restore.
I have been trying to burn a Blu Ray project. It is a 108 minute compilation of HD material that I assembled over the last year and am scheduled to show it Christmas Eve for my family. The project burns fine to a Blu Ray disk and plays back fine however for some reason, it will only burn in stereo and not Dolby 5.1. I have 5.1 sound enabled in the settings and when I burn the disk it is also the audio format I have chosen. I have burned two disks with the same results. I burned a test Blu Ray of this project back in November and it was encoded correctly in 5.1.
I have some how enabled the grid function (control h) on EVERY image I open. I have to disbale the grid manually for each photo by pressing control H. It is listed under "extras" as well. Please help me disable this permanentely so I don't have to do it every time.

I'm tying to see if the 3D features in Photoshop Creative Cloud do what I want to do but they are not enabled. Below is my computer specs. It has 2GB on the GPU so it should work.

I purchased a logo and business card design from a designer but one of the colors is the wrong shade of blue. Is there a way to change the one color throughout the file if the file doesn't have layers enabled? I'm a novice PS user but am unable to get in touch with designer to get revised files so was hoping there is a way I can do this myself.
I have a creative cloud subscription and have photoshop installed but for some reason, my 3d features aren't enabled. Is this something to do with my creative cloud account is the student based one?
I have Photoshop CS5 Extended (x64), and I have enabled OpenGL in the preferences, AND I've checked that my Graphics card is supported, AND I've updated my drivers....
I can't, for the life of me, get Repousse to work!!I'm trying to extrude a logo I've created.... BUT I've also tried to repousse a text layer and a Shape layer, just to test it... and NOTHING.
I've been using Autocad 2014 for several months now, and I've noticed that every couple days or so it turns off my autosave. I can check the box to enable it, and set it to 10 minutes, and a couple days later it will be unchecked and say 0 minutes in the box. I don't know how often it happens, I know it takes more than one day, but it's really annoying and one of those things I usually only find AFTER I have a drawing crash on me.
I have a very simple dynamic block that works when I test it in the editor but refuses to work when inserted into a drawing. I am not a newbie to dynamic block creation/editing, but it has been a long time since I have had to create one and this has got me stumped.
Is it possible that my employer has somehow blocked the use of dynamic blocks in drawings?
I have purchased the following books: Photshop CS4 The Missing Manual, Real World Photoshop CS4 for Photographers, Real World Camera Raw with Adobe Photoshop CS4, I keep getting this message:Suite Color Management is not enabled,
It's typically very stable, but when I enable the Secondary Display, it starts crashing every 10 - 15 mintues.

I've googled and searched the forums. Lots comes up about older versions, but I'm not finding anything about the current release version. Windows offers to check for a solution online and close the application.
Crash Info
Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: lightroom.exe Application Version: 4.1.0.11 Application Timestamp: 4fb2266f
I was editing a video an while playing with the scale I went to RAM preview and it wouldn't work so I closed it down and reopened it as this problem has happened a few times and this has been the fix. I then went to RAM preview from the beggining and my computer crashed, no bluescreen the monitors just went blank and the BIOS popped up. I then reopened my project and RAM previewed from the beggining and it didn't start it just said requesting frame 2 of ... I then played with a few of the prefrences eg. clearing the cache and purging memory and It still didn't work. I then disabled multiprocessing and RAM previewing worked again though I would like multiprocessing to work as It is alot faster. I then tried restarting my computer and reinstalling AE but still no luck.Also rendering does not work either with multiprocessing enabled.
Specs: i7 4770k @ 4.4Ghz G.skill Ripjawz Z 32GB @ 2133Mhz GTX 780 Samsung 840 pro SSD Seagate Barracuda 2TB HD
A week ago AE was running fine, but in the last few days, I must have enabled or did something to chop its performance by 75%.
Also, while rendering, my ENTIRE computer is super laggy, just typing this text right now, for example, is laggy. I used to ALWAYS hit render, and then browse the web, watch videos, etc... but now it's unbearable. Also, it isn't just when i do a final render. It also occurs when I skip to a single frame in the comp and it tries to render it(goes really slow)
Basically, when I go to view the layer mask by holding alt and clicking on the layer mask it doesn't function. Along with this problem, when I go to toggle my adjustment layers on and off, by holding alt and clicking on the eye symbol next to the background layer... again this doesn't work.
Im not sure if I have accidently clicked on something that has disabled these functions or its just a bug.
I've downloaded some of adobe cs6 programs such as photoshop, dreamweaver, illustrator, and flash, But when I was going to begain a new download I found that there is an ( English - Arabic enabled ) option that I unfortunately hadn't enabled in the previous downloads -
Is that the reason I can't write arabic properely in photoshop ? - and instead choosing it I chose ( English ) and unfortunately I need arabic beside english to be enabled and written properley as I am egyptian. So , Is there any solution, option, or language patch that changes it to arabic enabled instead of english and re downloading again ? and what is the difference between the two versions, is it language only ?
how to turn this feature on? We recently upgraded from Inventor 2011 to 2014 and now this feature has been disabled. The attachment shows that visibility has been greyed out.
