Hey folks,

I heard some rumors of SSS2 shaders, and those are for mental ray 3.11 and they 
need no lightmap. Is that true? I was out of skin shading for a year or more, 
and it's time to get back to business:)

So if anyone have information, feel free to share with me :D


Cheers

New Plugin: LK Fabric

2013-10-09 Thread Leonard Koch
Hey list, today I have a new plugin for you.

LK Fabric is an unsimulated tool-set made up of 50+ components, designed
for the creation and animation of fabrics and cloths.
Here is a video https://vimeo.com/76474426 giving a tour of the basic
functionality: https://vimeo.com/76474426

LK Fabric gives you control over the geometry of the cloth down to the
fibres which make up the threads which then in turn make up the fabric.
It supports motionblur, strand-texturing directly in ICE, fabric flowing
over multiple surfaces and many more things.

This tool has come out of a series of commercials for Nike, which I got to
work on at *Royale* http://www.weareroyale.com/ this summer. Here is
their site: http://www.weareroyale.com/
They have graciously given me permission to release this tool-set for free
to the community. Major thanks to them for that!

Big thanks also go to Billy Morrison and Andy Moorer who provided pages and
pages of feedback during production and then used the tools to create all
the pretty images.

The two spots are available on Vimeo.
Nike Tech Fleece https://vimeo.com/73986114
Nike Evolution https://vimeo.com/70825432

Andy did a nice write-up about the production here on the list:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/xsi_list/hOECya3-bOA/JMNTPhu2qXUJ

*You can download LK Fabric http://leonardkoch.com/download for free at: *
*http://leonardkoch.com/download* http://leonardkoch.com/download

If you find any bugs or have suggestions, feel free to shoot me an email to
lkplug...@gmail.com.

I hope you guys check out the tool and that it helps you out in production.

Thanks!

Re: New Plugin: LK Fabric

2013-10-09 Thread Stefan Kubicek
Hi Leonard, thanks a ton to you for releasing those tools, and Royale for 
generously funding it).
I remember I was blown awy when I saw the commercials, so much detail in the 
animations, and so organic - top notch work,
and the operators look very robust and flexible too.

I was never lucky enough to work on a project (besides when I was still making 
games, but not in commercials) that allowed for such sophisticated tool 
development. Out of personal interest: How long did it take to develop it up 
tho this point of maturity? Could you recycle pieces from LKLighnting?

Again thanks a lot!

 Hey list, today I have a new plugin for you.

 LK Fabric is an unsimulated tool-set made up of 50+ components, designed

 Here is a video https://vimeo.com/76474426 giving a tour of the basic
 functionality: https://vimeo.com/76474426

 LK Fabric gives you control over the geometry of the cloth down to the
 fibres which make up the threads which then in turn make up the fabric.
 It supports motionblur, strand-texturing directly in ICE, fabric flowing
 over multiple surfaces and many more things.

Re: New Plugin: LK Fabric

2013-10-09 Thread Leonard Koch
Thanks for the kind words guys.

I was never lucky enough to work on a project (besides when I was still
making games, but not in commercials) that allowed for such sophisticated
tool development. Out of personal interest: How long did it take to develop
it up tho this point of maturity?
Good question. It took about two months to get to this state, which was the
majority of the length of the job. The tool reached a production ready
state after only a few weeks though and then I iterated from there.
It worked out quite well. While I did spend spend quite some time patching
in functionality that was needed in the moment, I mostly got to focus on
the vision of creating a well rounded, polished tool-set.
I think it is the much superior way compared to how it often goes where
you're under the gun and just hack solutions together that you then stack
on top of one another day after day without ever building a solid well
thought-out base.

Could you recycle pieces from LKLighnting?
Unfortunately I couldn't reuse any of the pieces from LKLightning, but
having built it was tremendously helpful.
LK Fabric works different than LKL in that it grabs all the information
about the involved geometry at the beginning and then creates giant arrays
which it performs operations on.
LKL keeps looking at the involved geometries while it performs operations
and then looks at different parts of the geometries based on the outputs of
those sub-operations.
it's a difference in approach which makes LKLightning more adaptable, but
allows LK Fabric to be a lot faster and deal with much more dense detail.

Hey list, today I have a new plugin for you.

LK Fabric is an unsimulated tool-set made up of 50+ components, 
designed for the creation and animation of fabrics and cloths.
Here is a video https://vimeo.com/76474426 giving a tour of the 
basic functionality: https://vimeo.com/76474426


LK Fabric gives you control over the geometry of the cloth down to the 
fibres which make up the threads which then in turn make up the fabric.
It supports motionblur, strand-texturing directly in ICE, fabric 
flowing over multiple surfaces and many more things.


This tool has come out of a series of commercials for Nike, which I 
got to work on at *Royale* http://www.weareroyale.com/ this summer. 
Here is their site: http://www.weareroyale.com/
They have graciously given me permission to release this tool-set for 
free to the community. Major thanks to them for that!


Big thanks also go to Billy Morrison and Andy Moorer who provided

to create all the pretty images.

Clip maps in Soft

2013-10-09 Thread Adrian Lopez
 Folks,

I'm sure this has been discussed before on the forum, but a search turned
up nothing.

Lightwave has a clip map function that lets you use an alpha or black and
white image, to cut through an object its mapped to.  Its not a simple
transparency, it carves through the object so interior surfaces render.

Back in our LW days it was a quick way to create an extruded logo from an
image.  Is there any way to achieve this in xsi?

Thanks in advance

AI Cut is neat, but it doesnt cut 'through' an object, creating interior

Re: Clip maps in Soft

Booltrace perhaps, if it's still working.

It's geo  geo intersection, but at rendertime.

Paul,

AI Cut is neat, but it doesnt cut 'through' an object, creating interior 
surfaces... The more I think about it, the Lightwave implementation is probably 
a rendertime operation - similar to XSI's BoolTrace.  Just works with images...

Folks,


I'm sure this has been discussed before on the forum, but a search turned up 
nothing. 


Lightwave has a clip map function that lets you use an alpha or black and 
white image, to cut through an object its mapped to.  Its not a simple 
transparency, it carves through the object so interior surfaces render.


Back in our LW days it was a quick way to create an extruded logo from an 
image.  Is there any way to achieve this in xsi?


Thanks in advance
