Add previous render stack

add a stack of previous renders which we can use to review

Using Aton over local network

Hey,

I am compositor and I am amazed with this plugin. First of all I want to thank you guys creating this plugin. This is certainly taking the VFX workflow pipeline to a new level.
For now I have it work flawlessly on my machine but was wondering if it is possible to have it work between two or more machines over the local network ?

Really appreciate your help !!!

Thank you,
Sheel

Sync current frame with Nuke's timeline

Trying to build from source, crashes both Maya and Nuke

Hello,

I'm trying to build the current master and tag 1.2.2 but both crashes Nuke, then Maya.
Running both from the command line but no relevant output there. Can you help me provide more useful information ?

Built with:
OSX Sierra 10.12.6
Nuke 11.0v1 & 11.2v1
Arnold 5.2.0
mtoa 3.1.0 (Ai 5.2 Core)
Boost version: 1.67.0

Thanks

Cleaner log without prepare bucket messages

Add IPR support

Maya Script

I'm having troubles installing the aton_maya script. I tried every Script folder that Maya offers but when i try to load the script in Maya I get the error

// Error: Line 1.23: Syntax error

Add Force Refresh at Frame Change checkbox

Instalation problem

I've tried to instale your plug-in, following the steps but didnt work in Nuke.

The script editor in Maya return numbers lines so i think it's working in Maya (the panel is here and action in script editor too).
But nothing append in Nuke with the node Aton.

I've verified my version of Nuke and Arnold and they are correct too.

Any suggestions ?

Respect the pixel_aspect_ratio

Stamp enhancement

We could add a gray semi transparent background as it's done in other renderers

Every rendered frame should have it's own status

Problem with Dependencies in the driver_aton.dylib

Hallo
in the Arnold log I get this error

00:00:01 WARNING | unable to load dynamic library: dlopen(/solidangle/extraShader/bin//driver_aton.dylib, 5): Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/boost/lib/libboost_atomic-mt.dylib
Referenced from: /solidangle/extraShader/bin//driver_aton.dylib
Reason: image not found

and there are a lot more dependencies to other libboost dylibs.
I think this is not right, or are they needed ?

make the code gcc412 compatible

To replace nullptrs and autos

Add $ATON_HOST and $ATON_PORT environment variables

This is to easy change the default port for both Arnold and Nuke sides

Create QT.Gui in maya to easy control rendering sessions

1. We can add a button on the Arnold's shelf
2. GUI should be able to Start/Stop/Refresh Render/IPR as well as override AA samples, Resolution, Motion Blur and Camera

Handle unsupported pixel types better to prevent SIGABRT

AtoN appears to only support a subset of Arnold pixel types (FLOAT, RGB, RGBA, VECTOR, and POINT). I did not find this documented anywhere outside of the code. When one uses one of the unsupported pixel types, for example INT, the Boost::Asio library throws an opaque exception (to most programmers, except for the few well-versed in the Boost::Asio library):

Backtrace from AtoN Arnold plug-in (driver_aton.so):

Better handling of these unsupported pixel types is needed to prevent this SIGABRT and to inform the user of this limitation. At the very least, the default of the pixel_type switch statement in driver_write_bucket should end the render gracefully with an informative error message.

Hide scanline when nuke renderBuffer is refreshing

Add option to Capture without AOVs

Export renderLayer names to Nuke

Trying to capture the buffer while it's rendering cousing to crash

Add AOV support

Reset the Memory Status before each render session

Prevent extra empty formats from being initiated in nuke

Right now since the format is made on node initialisation it creates a new format for every time a node is created. We should have a scene wide flag to see if the "renderConnect" format is already there and not make new ones if so.

Add Arnold version to the status/stamp bar

Server doesn't reconnect after delete is undone

When undoing the deletion of the renderconnect node it seems that the server is not able to reconnect.

An exception is caught by the code already..

Export any given Comments to Nuke

Explicitly changing the port number causing Nuke to deadly freeze

Ability to capture all rendered frames at once as a one sequence

Sometimes captured files are still locked by Nuke, when trying to delete them by limit

Fix the random blank frames issue caused by frequent asapUpdate() calls

Client crash when server not active

The client side (kick/maya) crashes when there is no server active.
We need to detect this and handle it smoothly.

In the future maybe write out an exr alongside the stream?

Add a render progress bar

Memory optimizations

Add Color Coding option for captured read nodes

Add Bucket Scan Method Overrides

Force reread the buffer at frame change

Stack up and store render snapshots automatically in a memory

Multiple Aton nodes support in Nuke

Import Aton

I've placed the aton.dylib file in probably 10 different locations in the Nuke directory, plugin folder, .nuke folder, and our network plugin/scripts folders and every time I call Import Aton inside the init file it say that module does not exist. Where is it suppose to go?

The same for the Maya location inside Arnold. It is inside Arnold's SolidAngle folder in a couple different places and each time I run
from aton_maya import *
aton = Aton()
aton.show()

It says no module is named aton_maya.

Thanks

Export Sampling Settings to Nuke

Fix the issue with limits for outdated captures

Send some metadata to nuke

1. Total render time
2. Start render time
3. Peak memory usage
4. Frame Number
5. AA Settings
6. Render progress precentage
7. Custom comments

Fix the glitching issue when the frames have different formats

SideFX Houdini Support

Time in the status bar to reset per every IPR iteration

Add multi frame memory caching support

Pixel inspector is no longer showing up in Nuke

How to autosave snapshots ?

Can you quickly explain how the new sequence/ write multi frames work ?
And also is there a way to autosave snapshots ?

Thanks

Nuke 10 support
