RE: autodesk subscription

[Scott Lange]

I was told by Barry at VCA that (at least my softimage license) is permanent 
but if I want to continue with a license to Maya, I would need to renew.

My understanding of it, is we can coming to use Softimage and Maya 2015 but 
once you stop the subscription you have to pay
for a full license.

Re: autodesk subscription

[Eric Turman]

2015 licenses are still perpetual and, as I understand it, Maya 2016
too...This is corroborated by the fact that I have not given any more money
to Autodesk and I still have use of my license for Soft and Maya.

 Design put aside, I really like how the polygons are rotating as if
 they were parented to each other, unfolding the polymesh.

 I have no clue how this is done.
 How to have the polygons follow each other while beeing rotated.
 How to create the vectors that determines the direction of the
 rotation along the object.
 Like if it was unfolded...

 Does people around have some clues ?

 I remember polynoid released something close, but more for straight
 line.
 I've seen this but for Houdini and limited to tris :

Re: Unfolder : Something like this with Ice ?

I also came from LW. Not showing the tut to hint you to use it. Just that
there might be little pieces that aid your own process.

They are making a new geometry engine in Layout, to be able to have access
to mesh elements, etc. But I just can't... I dunno... XSI is just a very
rational environment to work in, I think, and LW Layout is missing things
like a "simple" Undo... I say simple in quotes because for them won't be
that simple to implement. I still use LW for simple things that need to go
out fast. It's very good at that. But as complexity and management
requirements rise, so does the amount of pain, workarounds and
irrationality which I moved away from. I'm still regular in the forums,
skype chat, etc, but more like an aiding spectator waiting for it to go in
a direction that interests me.

Good luck with the unfolding :)

 Design put aside, I really like how the polygons are rotating as if
 they were parented to each other, unfolding the polymesh.

 I have no clue how this is done.
 How to have the polygons follow each other while beeing rotated.
 How to create the vectors that determines the direction of the rotation
 along the object.
 Like if it was unfolded...

 Does people around have some clues ?

 I remember polynoid released something close, but more for straight
 line.

Re: Redshift users?

[Ognjen Vukovic]

I thought they mentioned having rendermaps in soft actually working
partially, they were just looking for a method on how to implement it
across the board.
I could be completely wrong though. Either way i would like  the volumes
more :), sorry baking guys.

 I have done a fair amount of testing with Redshift too and find on
 average scenes to be 5-10 times faster than Arnold with comparable quality,
 plus a number of things are simpler to set up the way you want it, in part
 because of the rapid feedback in the renderregion. I have yet to test it on
 really complex scenes, so that will be the next thing to check. I agree on
 a lack of shader support in certain parts, especially compared to
 Arnold/Sitoa, so it is reassuring that Burtnyk and Co are so responsive :)



 We will likely also incorporate it to some extent when it supports vdb
 and volumetric rendering and see where it takes us.

Re: OT 3D for design

[Nicolas Esposito]

Well, design, archviz and games are quite different areas, but in general:

Design: Rhinoceros, very very easy to use and to create some amazing stuff

Games: In recent years lots of studios have been using
(thanks/because/being forced from ) Autodesk Maya and I have to say, at
least now I'm scripting more then in Softimage, which can be viewed as a
good or bad thing...

ArchViz: Whatever DCC allows you to input parametric dimensions. As far as
I know no game engines import Vray materials 1:1 and some of them have a
builtin function of poly reduction, but 99% of the time you need to create
two separate sets of UVs ( one for the lightmap, the other one for color
texture ) and re-create all the materials ( nowdays all engine use a
physically based material editor) inside UE4.

Don't really know about 2d design

Re: Redshift users?

I'd say the timescale for rendermapping/baking will be months rather than
weeks - seems like complex volume rendering will come before baking.

OT 3D for design

[Sebastien Sterling]

Hey list I have a friend who is looking to get into design, games, ark
viz...

What would be the standard these days, the best things to learn in this
regard ? 3D and 2d design

He has a background in design, has used solid works,  however I think there
may be better option for generating quick previz.

Do let us know what you think

No wrong answears .

Re: Redshift users?

[Ognjen Vukovic]

It wasn't supported up till now, I think they will be introducing it in the
coming weeks.

sorry for the potentially silly question, but how is redshift with
Rendermap? we use it extensively with MR, and would need redshift to have

Wow, it is quite impressive what an impact Redshift has made already.

I have done a fair amount of testing with Redshift too and find on average
scenes to be 5-10 times faster than Arnold with comparable quality, plus a
number of things are simpler to set up the way you want it, in part because
of the rapid feedback in the renderregion. I have yet to test it on really

it is reassuring that Burtnyk and Co are so responsive :)
