TVP Animation Pro: 64bit version / memory use

Post by Data3D »

I would like to take advantage of the Mirage to TVP Animation Pro upgrade, as I'm really impressed by the new functions available in V.9. Right now, I often run out of memory in Mirage Studio (under Vista 64) despite 8GB of memory (as I like to load dependencies to keep projects in one file). Is there a 64 bit version of TVP Animation Pro available or in the works? I want to say that I had read somewhere that TVP Animation Pro can access more memory than Mirage Studio could. 64bit would make my upgrade a sure thing, but better and larger memory use would sure motivate me as well.

Thanks in advance for the information,

Hi
TVPaint is 32bits only and can use up to 3.5 GB if windows is configured correctly.
To use more than 2GB, you need some change in the windows configuration.

The cache size is limited to 2GB, but TVPaint can use more ( 3.5GB ).

Yes, Mirage couldn't work with computers using more than 2GB of memory.

TVP Animation 9.0 does not have such limitations (see previous post from Hervé).
Also the memory managment was optimized so TVP can handle big projects in HD more easily than before.

nb : feel free to contact me directly via PM if you plan to upgrade.

Thank you both for your prompt responses. I definitely think this will help as I consider my upgrade options.

this only applies to windows NT based OS's like XP
Is Vista actually still NT based?
And if not, can i assume that under vista TVP will be able to use that max of 3.5 GB??
