blankvisual Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi Everyone, Every time I do a flipbook it takes about 4GB of space on my HD. I have searched the whole C drive looking for those heavy file/s. I looked at the TEMP folder but that folder is very light. I looked at my C drive for latest modified files and no trace of any large files being created but I see the HD space going lower. I've tried restarting houdini and my machine hoping it was some sort of temporary cache but to no success. Can someone help ? thanks, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malexander Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Flipbooking the 3D viewport to mplay no longer writes files to disk, it uses a direct network connection. So I'm really not sure why you'd be losing such a large chunk of disk space every time. When flipbooking, are you rendering with Mantra or OpenGL?

blankvisual Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Open GL I left everything default. On the render flip book settings window it says memory usage: 4351 images at 1194x868 (16.7 GB).

blankvisual Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 This is now solved. It was not related to mplay but instead to temporary regtrans-ms files being created every hour because of a Ndvia 3d vision driver. Got back 72 gbs.... thanks for you help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malexander Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hm, I'm surprised you found that! Good to know for future issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
