Comp noteS 11-28-10

So I'm compiN away now... here's a screen cap of an average shot....

Just yer average heart string marionette shot comP
These comps aren't too slow to work with now that I'm using a still proxy in place of the animated matte painting compositions...seeing sittin on the bottom there... So I went and comped the first sequence and now that its done I'm rendering out the matte painting multilayered compostions as image sequences... its like baking them so they dont MURDER my Cpu and Ram... so I'm rendering the baked matte painting BG's now.... and AE will automatically put them in place of the proxies so the final renders will be ready ^ ^

Ran into a weird problem wherein blotches of orange, white or black would be all over the screen... some times white screens, some times black... I went through to isolate the problem... wasn't any plug-ins... ONLY happened in 32bit mode... they go away in 8 and 16mode only to reappear when I switched back to 32bit... finally found out it was these two clips.... one dust clip and one fog clip that were being used as luma matte's with the depth pass from the shot... for some reason the problem was fixed by switching they transfer modes to "screen" I had them on normal but that was causing the errors... I have no idea why that was happening... something to do with multiplied luma values er something I da know...just glad I fixed it....

Shots are looking good though...

What format should I render out of Cinema 4d with?

UPDATED 2_27_13!  RENDER USING EXR Lossy Zip16! Since I'm working on a new feature film that will generate over 1500 shots made up of image sequences I need to make sure I choose the right file format to render to lest my hard drives explode. What I need from my format is  at least 16bit, an alpha included and preferably small size. I rendered out a frame from my film tallied up all the file sizes here- their all different types of codecs listed from smallest file size to largest. The render includes an RGBA pass, Depth pass, and Material Luminance pass because thats what I always render out. 1.00mb 8bit-Photo Jpeg %100 1.27mb 8bit-PNG 4.65mb 16bit- EXR lossy ZIP16 5.75mb 8bit-PSD 6.23mb 16bit-EXR lossy PLZ 6.44mb 16bit-PNG 7.94mb 8bit-TIFF 8.50mb 16bit-EXR Lossy 24 9.05mb 16bit-EXR Lossy Run Length 14.6mb 8bit-TARGA 22.4mb 32bit-EXR ZIP16 24.6mb 32bit-EXR Zip1 25.6mb 32bit-EXR PLZ 29.3mb 16bit-TIFF 29.3mb 16bit-PSD 40.0mb 32bit-EXR Run Length 58.7mb 16
