 Hi Gang,

 After a very successful and long festival stretch our graduation short
 film "Wrapped" is finally online. It's been a while, but I felt I needed to
 share it on the list since I've gotten a lot of useful tips and help over
 the course of the production. Thanks to everyone who contributed!

 The whole project was mainly done in Softimage and Arnold and I'm happy
 we can finally share it.

Re: Wrapped

[Ed Manning]

Totally AWESOME.

And I dare say, it could only have been done by such a small artist-centric
team in Softimage. Just thinking about how I'd have to go about it in a
Maya-only environment makes me shudder. With a small army of great TDs,
maybe... Or a few kickass Houdini TDs and Maya animators, mmmaybe? But the
art would suffer.

Maurice, I hope you can and will convey to others at AD what this means.

Roman, please share a making-of soon!  And if you have any plant compounds
you'd like to share...

Bravissimo.

I've no idea! It was the first thing I uploaded to vimeo so was done about
7 years ago! ;-P
I'll see if I have the scene lying around.

Re: Exporting cached ICE particle instances as alembic?

[Jason S]

  
  
Would perhaps a clone (with ICE or
  Operator) of the resulting mesh be more easily baked?
  
  On 04/06/16 10:15, Olivier Jeannel wrote:


  Topolizer, but it's not free and I'm not sure it
handles parenting (if you have parenting in your instances)
I would suggest to export the particles point SRT  and snap
  back the (instances) objects back in houdini with a copy SOP
  and a switch. But this might be time consuming to figure it
  out.

  so I checked Guillaume Laforges Create Polymesh from

  Unfortunately it requires some source geometry data set
  via ICE and I am kind of
  in a hurry so I have no time to figure out what is
  required, so I was wondering
  if anybody know of a way to do this quick and dirty and
  create geometry from
  instances without any attributes.

Re: Exporting cached ICE particle instances as alembic?

[Olivier Jeannel]

Topolizer, but it's not free and I'm not sure it handles parenting (if you
have parenting in your instances)
I would suggest to export the particles point SRT  and snap back the
(instances) objects back in houdini with a copy SOP and a switch. But this
might be time consuming to figure it out.

The is also the amfeltec gpu cluster and the 
http://www.hwtools.net/Adapter/PE4C%20V3.0.html for the more do it yourself 
approach. We rendered our student short out using Octane standalone via the 
network between 3 machines and it positively flew.

Some usbC external gpu chassis that are now coming out (announced at GDC). For 
my MA project I am extending our current machine (which has one 980ti) with two 
additional ones using PE4C adapters. (mostly because most of our available 
money was spent on the cards)

I have seen cases running 4 air cooled 980tis in a well ventilated case with no 
issues. Water cooled does offer performance gains but as has been pointed out 
can be a bit of a bugger if you have a card go down.

Kind regards

Angus

External gpu boxes work great with octane, not so well with redshift, due to 
the increased communication between cpu, gpu and system memory, it really needs 
a decent number of pcie 3 lanes to run at full speed.

There are more expensive, but I guess you won't melt them so easily ;)

Also keep in mind that 8 GPU server requires also 2 Xeons which are lot more 
expensive then i7 CPUs.
Put everything on paper and see the math.

Btw I advise highly against water cooling cards for GPU.
First it adds to a price a lot which would better be used on better GPUs, CPU, 
more ram
Also in any case of card failure you are out of whole machine for hours till 
you drain system and all the process around it.
With standard air cooled you just plug faulty card out and back to rendering 
till you replace or fix.

Hi Adam,

You 2 routes, DIY/MOD or getting a SERVER chassis (more expensive).

SERVER

If you are any good at building/modding computers, than you can try buidling 
one yourself with the help of geeks from
the internerds..

http://dabarti.com/vfx/building-4xgpu-rack-mount-rendering-node/

One other options is to ask someone like Tom Glimps to build you one:
https://twitter.com/tomglimps/status/710959378799730688

This stuff is watercooled and cards are modded, so not trivial.

I would recommend you could ask on the otoy forum, and join the octane facebook 
page.

Good luck, and keep us updated!

Also not much experience with GPU boxes but what I don;t really get is what 
takes care of rendering with so many GPUs on single CPU?

For example you have single 5960x CPU and 64GB ram.
Even with 4 cards I've bin locking down CPU at 100% from time to time and also 
RAM as well. Talking about computer RAM not GPU RAM.
As it works it renders 4 frames at once, each on 1 GPU.
I really don;t see much room to add fro example another 4 GPUs in attached GPU 
box when there is still some work on CPU to be done and RAM requirements for 
scenes and all to load.
How would high end CPU that is already maxed out handle additional load?

Exporting cached ICE particle instances as alembic?

[Morten Bartholdy]

I have a cached particles simulation with instanced geometry on it which I would
like to export as geometry as an alembic file for import in Houdini so we can do
some simulation there.

It looks like there is no factory method for creating geometry form instances,
so I checked Guillaume Laforges Create Polymesh from Instance Shapes compound.
Unfortunately it requires some source geometry data set via ICE and I am kind of
in a hurry so I have no time to figure out what is required, so I was wondering
if anybody know of a way to do this quick and dirty and create geometry from
instances without any attributes.

Thanks - Morten
