Restrictions

1. A check-box "Hardware Acceleration" always turn on

   Maya Composer dosen't display any texture image by OpenGL, while a check-box "Hardware Acceleration" in a option menu of Maya Composer turns off. And then, Maya Composer can only display an input image cut out to the same size as an output resorusion by setting an background attribution of the input. So, it is difficult to edit a spidery mesh and regions for the bigger input image than an output resolution set in a dialog "Composite setting..." of Maya Composer.

2. Execute any test frame after changing an output resolution.

   In Maya Composer, scales of coordinats for a mouse position remains for the previous output resolution until having ecexuted any test frame. So, you feel very strange for you mouse operations in this state.

3. TiPiT supports only RGBM_16 and RGBM_16Z for input images.

   TiPiT v1.5 uses the RGBM channels in input images, while ignoring the Z channel. Input images with such types as INDEX_M and MASK_16 and so on except RGBM_16 and RGBM_16Z are not available. So, especially, if you connect a output of a event TravelMatte to a mask image input of TiPiT, you need to select a RGBM output mode in the event editor of TravelMatte.

   Table. Effective Channels in Inputs and Result

   Input/Result	RGB	M	Z
   Sample Image	Effective	Ignored	Ignored
   Original Image	Effective	Ignored	Ignored
   Mask Image	Effective	Ignored	Ignored
   Background Image	Effective	Effective	Ignored
   N-th Layer	Effective	Effective	Ignored
   Resut Image	Effective	Effective	Effective

4. TiPiT v1.5 supporting only IRIX 6.5. IRIX6.5 has the locale system incompatible with the previouse IRIX (6.4, 6.3 and 6.2). So, it has a library file "libC.so" diffrent from those of the previous versions. If you ececute TiPiT v1.5 on the previous IRIX, Maya Composer fails to link a shared library TiPiT, so that Maya Composer says "unresolved symbols ..."

5. In a multi-cpu mode, you need to provide much memory capacity for your machine, because TiPiT uses memory areas for buffering input images for removing a bottle-neck for accesses to input images.

6. A cmp file saved with TiPiT v1.0 is not available with TiPiT v1.5.
