Always a workaround...

So while grinding trying to get the 3.7gb file that is HSM online for sale I learned some things...

What was happening was... I was using Cyberduck to upload the 3.7gb file to DPD via ftp... when exactly 1.8gb of the file was uploaded Cyberduck reported a connection error as asked to resume download... I would click yes.. then it would continue from the 900mb point NOT the 1.8gb...so it would have taken literally forever... and this is what I was doing the past 24 hours 0_o

So I downloaded the demo of "Yummy Ftp" which has advanced error correction... so it got to the 1.8gb point and the upload speed dropped from 300k to 150k but it kept uploading unlike Cyberduck... this is comcast throttling the speed which I learned after googling it fer a bit... so that was causing Cyberduck to report an error and drop the connection... so it JUST finished uploading...

Now I have to download it and make sure the file is not corrupt and the movie file is ok... if all is ok I will send out the product update to all who bought it already... thanks to you! And then I will switch it from Pre-order to order! ^ ^

Thank you all for your support and patience... if you want to see how M dot Strange and his cliche trailer are handled out in the wild internet check the BoingBoing comments here ^_^

    I really hope mdotstrange is under 21. It would be sad to hear a middle-aged man say, "Shit just got real mawfokkaz!"

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
