I’m using a Grasshopper slider to do simple animation of the Rhino viewport. I’m on Windows 10.
It’s been working wonderfully for a few days, and I’ve made a few .mp4’s (using ffmpeg to assemble the frames produced by Rhino.
This morning I tried to cancel an in-process animation. The Rhino window was under another window and was non-responsive with no way to get to it (due to the running animation?). I tried to close Rhino from the Windows taskbar.
I got a message Rhino. I don’t remember the exact words, but the message included “out of memory” and the final line was “restart computer.”
I’ve not seen anything like that from Rhino before (in 2 years of daily use). But I did as I was told.
I rebooted and restarted Rhino. I had saved my files, so I chose to ignore the recovery file.
I started the animation again. The animate-dialog output folder and the filename template were unchanged… It looked like it was working. The animated viewport was nicely stepping through the frames, and Rhino showed the usual “Generating frame n of max” message.
However, no frame images were generated in the specified output folder.
I tried a different .gh file that was set up for animations and had worked previously. It showed the same behavior.
It appears there is some change in Rhino that is causing this, and that survived the reboot and restart.
I’d love some advice on how to fix or diagnose this problem.
Thanks,
Bill
