-sequential

Function

Normally, Shake will simultaneously execute all FileOuts at the same time, meaning if you have forty FileOut nodes, you are writing forty images simultaneously. If you want to break this down sequentially, you use the -sequential argument. This will help on memory considerably, but it may be much slower since Shake may re-calculate certain branches repeatedly if they are shared by more than one FileOut.

Command Line

Example

shake -exec my_script -sequential
