Animation problem

From a user:

I'm facing a problem with regards of making animations: it take such a long time to render and fails to show it afterwards.

I'm not sure why it isn't working for you, but this is what I would do to figure it out.

I would suggest trying this on a small model first, so you can see how the process works.

Instead of having IRender nXt automatically create and launch the animation file for you, set it to just create the individual frame images for the animation and just save those image to the disk.

Then, once you have all the images saved for the individual frames, you can manually assemble the images into an animation to see why it is not working.

To save the image s that you'll need, Set the output for the animation to have a PNG or JPG extension, and specify a folder where it will be easy to find the files when your done.

For example, below I have set the output to be PNG files, by setting that as the file extension, and have specified an empty folder where I can find the image files:

Then, start the animation, you will n notified when all of the images have been saved, and you can check the folder to see that they are all there.

Once you've got all the images that you need, you just need to pick a program to assemble them into the final animation file. I can do it with my version of PhotoShop. A lot of people  download and use free program called "Gimp" to do this.

If you don't want to learn how to use Gimp or another program to assemble the movie, we include a simple program to do it. It is called RpMakeAvi.exe and can found in this folder (if you are on  64 bit machine):

        C:\Program Files (x86)\Render Plus Systems\IRender_nXt\bin_Nxt

It can also be downloaded from this link:

When you run RpMakeAvi.exe, it asks you to point to the folder where you saved the frames and then assembles the movie for you. It has an option in it to try different Codecs, in case that is what is causing the problem.  It looks like this:

Please try using RpMakeAvi.exe, or another program like Gimp, to assemble and launch the animation to see if that makes a difference. You may need to try different Codecs to find one that works for you.
