Paint Tool makes Fusion crash everytime

Hey there,

im using the Beta Version of Fusion 8 right now, since i so damn like the new interface of it But i already tried to do my job with Fusion 7 and it has the same problem, so its not the Beta that is responsible for this.

I have the following problem: Everytime i try to create an animated texture with the Paint Tool i run into serious trouble when i animate the PolylineStrokes with their WriteOnStartGroup. I need a lot of paint strokes to create a pattern of a cracking sphere that was hit by something. I've attached the pattern i created and that i now want to animate.

So ... when i start to animate the WriteOnStartGroup on the individual lines, everything is working for the first lines but as i move on further and have animated something like 10 lines, Fusion crashes. I already increased the RAM-Size for the cache to 90 %, my system has 16 GB RAM, but it doesnt help. Also when i save the file with the animation in it and open it up later, when i drag the tool to one of the viewports, Fusion crashes again. So its impossible to edit this further.

I have 2 Paint Tools, one for the bigger lines and one for the smaller lines. I did not even get to the smaller lines, Fusion crashes already when i animate the bigger (and fewer) ones

Is there any way to solve this problem? Do i really have to create a paint tool for each and every stroke so that i can cache each and every stroke to disk? This would be an insane amount of work and hell - those are just strokes ^^ this cant be it, really?! :-/

I hope you can help me on that.

Many thanks in advance

Are these strokes all on one paint node?

Hi Rony,

yes, they were all on one Paint Tool and this was most likely the problem. Because it took a while to bring my post to this forum i separated them onto different tools in the meantime and that worked.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback.
