Re: Stand-Alone to Network license?

[phil harbath]

I didn’t bite on this.  As I was only 1 sub behind, so in the the old days with 
AVID, I would have been charge
1 back sub and 1 current sub for a total of 1800 to get current. However, our 
good friends at Autodesk, are not as flexible, and have a more 
concrete approach,  if you are off subs you have to upgrade (2500 or discount 
slightly when on special) and then buy subscription on top of that (600 some 
for Maya).

yes, you upgrade and get on sub (both), so it was like 2500 + 600 (give or

  Hi guys,
  Here's the scoop. You cannot get Softimage 2015 anymore unless you are on

bundle or Softimage + Max 2015 bundle. Upgrades are only available into Feb 1, 
2015 (this is unrelated to the Softimage EOL, it is for all products). The

It's a bit discouraging that you missed all the info in the FAQ, the
webinar and the post here from jill !

The upgrade path for Softimage users is called the "Maya plus
Softimage 2015"  and it's the same price as just buying Maya or a Maya
upgrade.
But that's not offered on the web, you need to talk to a reseller to get it.

Hi guys,
Here's the scoop. You cannot get Softimage 2015 anymore unless you are on subs. 
But you CAN either buy or get upgrades to the Softimage + Maya 2015 bundle or 
Softimage + Max 2015 bundle. Upgrades are only available into Feb 1, 2015 (this 
is unrelated to the Softimage EOL, it is for all products). The bundles are

I don't think that this is true, that
you can render mi2 files with
3dsmax/backburner with your suite
standalone license.

In any case, with your softimage
standalone license you have the
ability to run 4 satellite render nodes
for free, so you should try
that first, see if it helps.

Since you're a hobbyist, I think you
should also ask yourself what

Re: Softimage online documentation down?

[Leendert A. Hartog]

In my recent experience they aren't as quick as they used to be...
And this isn't (as we ascertained) a "one user" problem, but something 
"bigger".

I noticed that yesterday afternoon too :-/

What was the link to be able to download a version again? At this point, I
trust AD about as far as I can throw them and would not like to lose
ability to access documentation for Softimage.

Re: Stand-Alone to Network license?

[Rob Chapman]

Hey Patrick, I downloaded the latest trail last night at home of redshift
and after the first render of just a grid it gave me the same render error
as you about not enough vram  - I also have a 560TI.  I was one version
behind on latest nvidia drivers - updated to latest and redshift then
worked fine.  super fast strands rendering!

RE: Stand-Alone to Network license?

[Angus Davidson]

Hi Patrick

Did you install the CUDA drivers? All GPU renderers need to have them before 
they will work.

You can have a look at Royal Render. I am not sure if they still allow 4 fully 
functional trial licences.

Kind regards

Angus

So I downloaded the redshift demo...and it errors out right away with a message 
about it being unable to operate with less than 256mb of free vram.  All of the 
values other than the card type are at 0 or 0kb. Any ideas?

I have a gtx 560 ti i believe with 1 gig.  No sli setup.
I was looking to upgrade to the 970 gtx near black friday but I was really 
hoping I could get a preview of redshift soon to help decide on maybe a next 
level workstation card if it would greatly help.

Backburner's server.exe refuses to run on my second computer so I cant even try 
anything there and see if there is a way to queue an mi2 file.

This is fun!

I don't think that this is true, that you can render mi2 files with
3dsmax/backburner with your suite standalone license.

In any case, with your softimage standalone license you have the
ability to run 4 satellite render nodes for free, so you should try
that first, see if it helps.

Since you're a hobbyist, I think you should also ask yourself what
makes your life difficult with rendering what's best to fix it.
Adding more MR render nodes for overnight rendering may not fix the
problem,  perhaps you should go with a modern GPU renderer or
something else.
