Re: Linux GUI weirdness

[Raffaele Fragapane]

I can't say I find it crippled to be honest, and these days I find it
pretty hard to work on WIndows :)
CentOS isn't, admittedly, the most complete or attractive desktop system,
but still... at least you have a decent windows manager, configurability,
performance (considerable difference), better networking, multiple
desktops...
 I can't wait for win 10, 8 and 7 are bloody prehistoric.
Lack of photoshop is really the only drawback these days, of you need it.

 I am not sure where to start investigating on the font subject, any
 pointers? but the window server tip can get me started.

go for a certified system if licensing is a priority. CentOS or RH, or FC

I though that RH was the only certified one, and I was looking for a cheap
option.

I'll try with CentOS.

Thanks.

Re: Linux distro ?

Thanks for the link ! We are still using 2014 and older versions, but since
we are using 2015 lic +sub I guess the license manager is the same.

We are using stand alone licenses but considering changing them to network
lic and setup a server for that purpose. I'm still recollecting info.

Thanks,

Re: Linux distro ?

[Tim Leydecker]

One thing to be aware of when using standalone licenses is that while on 
windows,
the license transfer utilities, deactivation of a standalone license, 
activation of a license
and all the loggig in, out, management and such work pretty automated 
and reliable,

this does not apply to Linux.

Just recently, at a place I freelance, both Maya and Mudbox 
node-locked/aka standalone
licenses had to move from one machine to another but that required a lot 
of manual back

and forth with Autodesk support, tickets, proofs, etc.

Personally, I´d prefer a floating license model.

That doesn´t completely prevent licensing issues and is also more 
expensive compared to
standalone stuff but once set up, it´s pretty convenient to swap a 
node/workstation for

whatever reason.

The excat reason the above stand alone stuff failed so badly with Linuc, 
I can´t tell you
because I don´t know but one has to point out that one reason one would 
momentarily
not want to touch exisiting (stand-alone) licenses is because nobody can 
really tell how
Autodesk´s this year and early next year´s changes to the license system 
will affect pricing

and such.

Assuming the role of the oracle of the dark ages, it feels like the sky 
may fall on our heads any minute now.


Either the new subscription model will result in painfully higher below 
the line anual per license costs
or switching now to network licenses (which also costs money, even if it 
actually makes management easier)
will cost you now just to require yet another (forceful) switch to some 
sort subscription, cloud based BS later.


Or none of that happens and you end up seeing a license you payed a 
grand for now available for 10 bucks/month...


Whatever happens there is hard to tell now.

I have all my stuff floating now (including weeping about those several 
occassions of me throwing away money)
and reserve myself the right to refuse any changes in the subscription 
models this year/next year if I don´t like them.


Not everybody can do that, obviously but afaik my floating licenses are 
permanent while those subscription models
just provide a service for a given amount of time, not a permanent 
license, neither stand alone nor floating...


Cheers,

tim

Re: test again

[Sebastien Sterling]

since i have you...

Does anyone know the correct method for setting up multiple UV tiling in
the render tree ?

i only ask cause there used to be an article on it, but it was on XSIbase
so gone now.

plugging loads of texture files into one shader is easy enough in Maya, i'm
sure there is a way of doing it in softimage.


this is the pic i got from the XSIbase topic:

Re: test again

Yea I;ve posted that pic a while ago when I was struggling with that as
well.
Didn't really used it much but I think this map could help you out. Yea I
made a map :)
Coordinates weren't a bit logical to me so needed a map to help me out.
number of map represents
minimum   XY
maximum  XY

so for example if you wanna put tile 1 UV map to the rigth you us
-1 0
0 1

Makes sense?

Thank you Mirko senpai !

holly shit put that is some tortured logic :P

so strange to see somthing that makes less sense in softimage then in maya.

 Didn't really used it much but I think this map could help you out. Yea
 I made a map :)
 Coordinates weren't a bit logical to me so needed a map to help me out.
 number of map represents
 minimum   XY
 maximum  XY

 so for example if you wanna put tile 1 UV map to the rigth you us
 -1 0
 0 1

 Makes sense?

Re: Linux distro ?

[Francisco Criado]

Few years ago, i had to implement several Softimage licenses for a studio,
and decided to go with Centos as os. In that moment the official speech
from Autodesk was that they only supported RH and after a couple of
meetings and deploys i could show to the reseller that it was easier to
deploy Softimage and Maya under Centos rather than RH. About licensing i
had a LM running on a Windows Server 2012.
In comparison must say Softimage was more painful about repositories than
Maya, but nothing that couldnt be resolved in a couple of hours.

Re: test again

[Tim Leydecker]

disable wrap on your textures or you´ll cover everything with each other 
over and over.


The logic is to enter the values you´d need to move the UV shell from
it´s current UV tile into the 0-1 range.

E.g. "this tile needs to go -1 quadrant to the left and 0 down to end up 
in UV 0-1."


it´s a nasty little puzzle. somebody was bored?

cheers,

tim

Does anyone know the correct method for setting up

i only ask cause there used to be an article on it,
but it was on XSIbase so gone now.

plugging loads of texture files into one shader is
easy enough in Maya, i'm sure there is a way of doing
it in softimage.


this is the pic i got from the XSIbase topic:
