DCM Settings and Optimization


Recommended Posts

I have experience using deep rendered images as a compositor at large facilities, and while the file size is large, the ability to work in nuke while slower is still functional and the benefits of the deep render outweigh the file size and comp slowdown.

I am doing some testing with Houdini for a whitewater sim and the DCM output is gigantic.. depending on the particles on screen, file size maxed at 3.2 GB for an exr frame. Nuke needless to say can't handle this, even Houdini's output of a DCM with a relatively small amount of particles will bring Nuke to a dead crawl. It seems like there are quite a few DCM settings buried. Does anyone have any experience on optimizing the DCM settings to get a result that is good but saves on file size and computing for Nuke?

 

Cheers,

 

Ryan
