RE: Linear rendering Revert back configuration

2013-12-06 Thread Sven Constable

If textures are png, tga, bmp etc. they'll have usually gamma inside :) and
are not linear. If you use 'automatic' mode for newly created imageclips in
the preferences, they should be correctly interpreted by softimage in the
first place and they will be internally de-gammaed (not sure if this word
exists lol).
For existing image clips in the scene, simply check the image clip node and
set it to automatic. You should be fine then. Or I misunderstood your
question, it's friday ;).

cheers,
sven

Hi list, I'm a bit a shame to ask this but...

I'm having trouble workin in linear mode. I've set up XSI a long time ago to
work like that, and finaly I'm getting some problems.

In short, my image are rendered with a gamma of 1 ,which I apply a Gamma
2.2 later in compositing.
Thing is sometimes doing this just crush the noise (in dark areas).

I'm no more sure of what my texture are when I see them gamma 0.45, 1 ,
2.2 ? Linear Srgb ?

Yep I know  it sounds dumb, but since as I can recall there are at least
3 parameters in preferences to change to be either in linear or 2.2 mode,
can someone easily tell me what and where should I click ?

Yeah looks like they changed it. Or hid it somewhere else.

You could create a custom plug-in to register a new menu item on that 
menu and use the ApplyICEOp() command to do the same thing I believe 
though.

Re: nurbs to mesh

2013-12-06 Thread peter_b

the behavior of the UV input boxes goes together with the “set” button – all 
too easily overlooked.
with set checked, if you type a number in U or v, it will set this value for 
each selected sample (collapsing to a specific value in one go), with “set” 
unchecked, it will move the whole selection to this location, keeping it intact 
as a whole.
and you can type expressions such as 1+ for moving on square to the right, or 
.5* to scale by half.

so producing numerically exact layouts is perfectly possible.

The memory consumption of emPolygonizer4 can grow quite fast. The more input 
particles and the higher the level of detail the more memory it will consume.
emTopolizer2 however meshes things bit by bit which results in neglectable 
memory consumption no matter how your level of detail might look.

So with heavy setups emPolygonizer4 can easily go up to 10 Gig and more of RAM 
whereas emTopolizer2 will only use a couple of hundred megabytes.

Speed wise it depends a little on how the input looks like (amount of 
particles, spacial distribution, ..), but on average emTopolizer2 is at least 
twice as fast. In most cases it will be even 2-10 times faster. But in my 
opinion the speed is not as important as the memory consumption. Fact is that 
with emPolygonizer4 you will eventually have memory problems and with 
emTopolizer2 you won't.

Here a concrete example that I just tested. Note the memory consumption.

Hardware: Sony Vaio Laptop, Intel i7m, 8 Gig Ram.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit.
Software: SI 2012 SAP

A.) The input was a small liquid simulation with roughly 2000 particles.
The level of detail was set to 50, which resulted in a mesh with about 2.4 
million polygons.

emPolygonizer4:
  time: 30 seconds.
  max. RAM: 2.6 Gig.

emTopolizer2:
  time: 10 seconds.
  max. RAM: about 0.15 gig.

B.) Same input, but this time with liquid filaments enabled which results in 
roughly 27 particles.
The level of detail was set to 50, which resulted in a mesh with about 1.5 
million polygons.

emPolygonizer4:
  time: 55 seconds.
  max. RAM: 2.7 Gig.

emTopolizer2:
  time: 26 seconds.
  max. RAM: about 0.2 gig.

Re: emPolygonizer4 v.4.250

2013-12-06 Thread Eric Mootz

Much appreciated, Jens, thank you :)
I am currently making a further demo scene for emTopolizer2, sort of an attempt 
of a "Borgmannesque-Effect".
Will let you know when is finished and available for download.

PS: don't hesitate to request demo scenes if you need some help. emTopolizer2 
can be a bit tricky to use at the beginning, because it is, well, somewhat 
different. So, if you need a demo scene, let me know!

Hello,
is it possible that the 'render multiple cameras' feature is buggy?
(2014SP2)
I created a camera group, chose it in the pass, added the [Camera] token to the 
channels filenames, and the images overwrite each other. Looks like the camera 
name is not updated.
Thanks!

RE: Open GL High Quality ?

2013-12-06 Thread John Voltaire Tensuan

What I would do is to make an ICE tree that writes the fog color based from the 
distance of the camera to the current vertex and write it to a CAV. The render 
tree can then read the CAV and multiply it to the final color.

This is my suggestion because HQV doesn't support all the MR nodes and from the 
top of my head I don't recall any HQV supported node that can give you your 
surface and camera positions.

Another option of course is to write custom realtime shaders for it.

Ah thank's Luc Eric !
I lost the job, but how would I make a RealTime fog then ? Is there something 
already usable, or is there something to build with a ScalarState/RayLength ?
I saw bizarre shader with ready made grid... Realtime OGL seems very opaque to 
me...

Hey list,

Version 2.110 of emTopolizer2 is available for Softimage 2012, 2013 and 
2014, Windows/Linux 64 bit.


The new version now supports instance shape animation, for an example check 
out the demo scene "Topo_from_Particles3.scn".


The addon, demo scenes, etc. can be found here:

Cheers!

Is there a way, when you triangulate a polymesh to change the order of

Let's say a quad plane > Triangulate> it cut in 2 triangles
But I want the "others" triangles (the other diagonale)
