Hardware Renderer + Multi Camera

2014-12-15 Thread Manu Allasia
Hi everyone !

I'm trying to render with two camera (stereo) and the hardware renderer.
I cannot use the stereo rig
I cannot use the camera sequencer.

So I created a group with the  two camera inside.
In the render pass, the Pass Camera parameter is set to the camera group
In the Render Channel Output I use this :  [Pass]_[Framebuffer]_[Camera]

When I render with MR, No problems : All the frame are write on disk (Left
and right)
But when I use the Hardware renderer : Only the frame for first cam are
written.
The calculation is done but the files are overwritten (they keep the
filename of the first cam).

If someone can help me !!!

Cheers

Well that's certainly good news, we've had a few licensing issues with a
certain machine which refused to pick up a read license, fudging our
renders on a regular basis. With a free version that will all be history I
hope... =)

Has there been any updates to the suite over the last year?

There has been a few updates and bug fixes, but nothing
groundbreaking.  That is one of the reasons it was hard to turn this
into an ongoing revenue stream, there just wasn't much room for major
features to spur upgrades/subscriptions.

Fury works in Maya.  Slipstream doesn't -- we tried a couple years ago
to make a Maya port but the Maya particle system is really slow.  For
the same reasons the Fury port to Maya is slow as well -- or the
particle systems you want to drive Fury with are hard to create.
Which negatively impacts the usefulness of Fury in Maya.  The real
solution would be to re-create a capable particle system that runs
paralle to Maya, like Krakatoa did, but that isn't of interest and a
ton of work.

We are focusing on Clara.io for the time being, which is evident from
the contents of Exocortex blog...  it is lower end that Softimage at
this time though

Reason I'm asking is that Slipstream is really useful for certain things,
but collisions and shedding hasn't worked for a long time, I get instant
crashes if I enable it. It would be too bad if it was never fixed.
Personally, I don't care about Maya support though.
