Hi... here's a strange question for you.
We've recently 'updated' our 3d software and some systems have run into a purely random, but VERY frustrating issue.
It's a known issue but the developers of our render software can't replicate it because it's very random.
What happens is:
When a frame for an animation finishes rendering, 50% of the time it doesn't move to the next frame...... it just hangs there until someone moves a window in the software a little bit. This then wakes it up.
Very frustrating if you're rendering something over the weekend or overnight..... you then look at the systems and it's done sod all.
Here's a video of it happening. It was just sitting there doing nothing until I moved a window:
Here's a link to a post I made
BatchCam Render with Corona 7 (hotfix1) and Max22
My question to you is..... is there any way we can tell windows to automatically move a foreground window a little bit every X minutes. This'll mean that if it does freeze, it'll then be woken up again.
If something like that does exist and it did work, you'd turn this big frown upside down
.
Thanks
