Hello!

I'm attempting to run @animal_warper between a native space T1w image and the D99 atlas. Unfortunately, for some of the macaques this isn't working. The errors seem to be related to 3DQwarp. I have tried running @align_centers first on the images (aligning the native T1w with the D99_template), and also have run FLIRT between the two images because I was reading on other threads that the issue may be due to the images being very far apart. However this has not fixed the issue, despite the images now being on top of each other when viewing through fsleyes. I have also run the command on the cluster with 100GB+ of memory so I doubt its a memory issue. Do you know what might be going wrong here? I have pasted the output from when it starts to have warnings/ errors below. Happy to post it all if you like, and can upload the crash log as well?

Many thanks,
Sam
