Does somebody really use Toxik in feature film production with satisfaction?!

[kryptic]

we're running on XP SP2. I'll inform you when I get my hands on the 2009 version

If you're going to use Windows, use the 64bit version of both Windows XP and Toxik. Its a world of difference!!! I wouldn't recommend going with the 32bit version espeically if you're doing hd or film work.

We use Toxik at Handmade more an more nowadays. Make sure you update to 2009 SP1. The difference between 2009 and the SP1 are minmal when it comes to features but the caching is super fast now. Also there are a few major differences now between 2007 and 2009 one of which (they may have made this change in 2008 not sure) is you have to tell the program to use your mediacache in user prefrences otherwise it caches into Ram which is good if you have a slow system but bad if you got a fast raid array.

Toxik is really good now it just needs a few more touches that I hope are on the way. Vector Paint being one of them.

I see. The dedicated media cache drives are also very crucial here. Right now we're testing 2009 trial version w/ no dedicated media cache drives. The 2007 w/ media cache drives has better performance. How big the media cache drives recommended? Usually we always clean the media cache when it exceeds 400Gb, because Toxik 2007 starts to slow down and crashes often.

I really like to have grid warp in Toxik .

Are you talking about the "Caching" settings under "Creative" tab in "User Preferences" menu, where you have 3 options: Image Import IR; Rendered Result IR and Create Import Proxy ?

Because all I do is turning on the "IR" button on each node I want to cache into the mediacache.

Ive changed the default behavior of the link in the Most Recent Post section to always go to the last post. Additionally, Ive increased the number of recent posts displayed to 10.

You can also go the bottom of the first page and set the parameter Display posts from previous: "Oldest First" to "Newest First"... It is only a temporary setting for that one thread. :Sad:

Scott,

Can that be made a cookie setting so it always happens? :Idea:
