As I said, I don't think you should expect realtime from Nuke. I'm not exactly sure why this is but maybe some of the over all impression has to do with how the viewer works, that it only renders the part of the screen you are looking at. But that doesn't always fit very well with how I do things. I like to zoom in on parts while plying and then back out again to see in context. This means constant re-rendering. And with a heavy script that is a major pain. So that's why I pre-render and render to watch in fc or elsewhere. I also have the impression that bigger script bogs viewing performance. Some of that might be bugs? I haven't had the time to dig deeper there. It's better now than it used to be anyways so I think the foundry has worked on improving performance. You can turn off thumbnails if you have a lot of reads. That might help a litte? But why the diskcache dont work like expected i'm not sure. It should offload that part of the script? But my exeperience is the same as yours that it doesnt. User error maybe? I tried it a few times but stopped using it. I use regular writes and prerender that way instead.
With that said I agree that viewing performance is something that I'd like to be better. Not sure if it is possible with the current viewer architecture? And people seem to be happy with how it works so i dont know if it is high priority or not. Cant hurt to make your voice heard and send a mail to support. Put me on the list too.

Howard Well, I would really get Nuke performance enhanced without relying on an external program making workflow quite cumbersome. And once back into Nuke after FC, I have still to render the comp, when once cached by nuke it should just write cache into image sequence if I make no change on the comp. We are not weta or DD and we try to keep things simple, fast, and flexible. _______________________________________________ Nuke-users mailing list [email protected], http://forums.thefoundry.co.uk/ http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
