Re: Hardware Renderer + Multi Camera
Thanks Stephan, Finally I made it with a workaround : Two render, script camera change. 2014-12-15 18:17 GMT+01:00 Stephan Haidacher ca...@gmx.net: create 2 passes and render the cameras seperately?

Re: OT: houdini mickymouse mode
I must confess that after testing the three versions the most stable by a mile is the linux version, then the mac version (due to the old OpenGL in H13) and then windows which although works nicely overall has some strange things going on and slight freezes.

Re: OT: houdini mickymouse mode
That's the oddest part of Houdini so far for me, how the viewport can be so inconsistent and buggy. The way component selections and polygon shading are displayed can vary a lot between sessions and OGL settings. And sometimes you just have to close the viewport and open a new one to get it to update the view correctly, it even happens a bunch of times in some of the tutorial videos I've watched! I'm also hoping H14 will bring an end to some of that.. :) On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Jordi Bares Dominguez jordiba...@gmail.com wrote: I must confess that after testing the three versions the most stable by a mile is the linux version, then the mac version (due to the old OpenGL in H13) and then windows which although works nicely overall has some strange things going on and slight freezes.

Xbox Controller+Kinect+Softimage = AWESOME!
Hello I saw this thread:Google Groups For some reason I can´t reply to it on my google groups (I always check this mailing list through yahoo). I found this topic aboutwiring softimage to kinect and also Xbox Controller driving parameters via Mojoke drivers. If anyone of you guys had the opportunity to work with this setup, I´d like to read about your experience.And -If by any chance- Eric Cosky gets to read this, I hope It can add up to this subject. Original post was somewhere back on 2012 for which I assume, now it´s a good time to ask how´s the progress on this.Cheers. | | | | | | | | | Google GroupsGoogle Groups allows you to create and participate in online forums and email-based groups with a rich experience for community conversations. | | | | View on groups.google.com | Preview by Yahoo | | | | | David Rivera 3D Compositor/Animator LinkedIN Behance VFX Reel

Re: Modo Sale again 40% off
can’t see how Apple could possibly need that – this market is much too small (+professional, specialized and difficult) to offer anything to a giant such as Apple. They need an ‘app’ they can sell in the millions, and that runs on phones and tablets, and doesn’t require any thinking by the user. Now a very simple effects-for-home-videos app – an AfterFX extra-light. Perhaps.

Re: Modo Sale again 40% off
Yes indeed, sorry if I wasn't clear in my sarcasm, those are the exact reasons why it -didn't- really-really need to buy (and kill) shake. They bought it, made it for Mac (and Linux) only, made a version or two, and then ditched it. Not unlike Soft which also wasn't really-really needed by a company with already 2+ DCC's. (could have bought Naiad to make an ICE clone without sacrificing Soft, it wouldn't have had more or less chances of becomeing a good clone) But I don't understand ditching (compared to other ways of getting rid of things) , except of course when ditching is the reason to buy something, any of which I find very-very selfish. Hopefully TheFoundry will find a better home who will value their products (and the communities around them) and that they will be complimentary to what they already offer.

Re: Lets Hope Autodesk Buys the Foundry!
I hope they don't !!! again, if they belong to the same owner there wont be
any need to innovate as is been in the case of maya and max after they belong
to autodesk, there was no need to compete against each other so it happen what
is happening right now. killing apps.
as long there is competition, companies will innovate, products will be cheaper
for the consumer, will be more market, I will shift your opinion for a
better world.
lets ask autodesk to make a good compositing app. oh wait they DID! autodesk
composite before was toxik, and same story happen.
I really hope they don't buy it.
