last year i made my suggestion on the wishlist, maybe i should insist a
little bit more ;)
Sorry for the OT, how did your perception suite go for you? we got two
broken pieces in three months...so no vr with mocap by now...

Time to bug Redshift team to add cube mappnig as well. SO far they were
rather fast implementing requested things.
They are busy with 2.0 features now but who knows :)

 It would be great if Redshift could render stereo cubemaps, that Octane
 already does, and Vray added last year. I have a Redshift license and a
 Octane one, but since Octane is getting more involved in vr production with
 their orbx format, that will go open source, we are leaving aside Redshift
 at list in our vr projects.
 Some of the fetaures of Orbx format:

 *ORBX Media Format*

 OctaneRender 3 introduces the ORBX media format. The .ORBX file
 container format was first introduced in OctaneRender 1.5 to enable
 rock-solid exchanging of scenes, materials, lighting and more, that could
 be imported into any supported OctaneRender plugin. The new ORBX media
 format performs a similar function for rendered output, beyond EXR, with
 support for movies, audio, spectral render caching, light field caching,
 baked FBX caching, complete compositing and deep pixel metadata, and
 navigable scene controls without the need of sophisticated real-time
 engines. OTOY believes this will be a critical authoring format for VR and
 AR applications. Highlights of the new ORBX media format include:

- *First-of-its-kind container:* The ORBX media format is the first
of its kind, containing pre-rendered data in the form of  light
field render target caching for VR, AR and portal materials, supporting
movie and audio textures such as MP4 or HEVC for use natively inside of
OctaneRender as a texture or a procedural, and storing node timelines.
- *Fully navigable:* ORBX media files support web and mobile
viewing of interactive content and texture baking directly from an 
 Octane
scene node, without the need or mastery of real-time game engines. 
 Artists
can bake their 3D scene for mobile, TV, VR, AR (light fields) and HTML5
playback.
- *Versatile rendering:* The ORBX media format stores spectral film
buffers allowing artists to pause and resume renders from disk.
- *Plans for open source:* OTOY intends to open source the ORBX
media format. It will be available on GitHub when OctaneRender 3 is made
available. The format works in JavaScript and LUA – no native code is
required.
- *ORBX Media Viewer:* The first app that will support the ORBX
media format will be the ORBX Media Viewer. The ORBX Media Player is
already used for enjoying studio VR experiences such as the upcoming 
 *Batman:
The Animated Series* project OTOY is building with Warner Bros.

 ,
or live streamed VR events like the hockey game OTOY recently
produced in cooperation with the NHL

 .
The ORBX Media Player will work with the Samsung GALAXY Gear VR, as 
 well as
Android-powered phones, tablets, and set-top boxes, with support for
Microsoft HoloLens and HTML5 WebVR to come after launch.

Re: OTOY announces availability of OctaneRender 3 and OctaneRender Cloud, previews Brigade/OctaneRender

[Francisco Criado]

Hi Mirko,
with spherical format you have a limitation of 3480x1920 lines at 60 fps,
which is the standard framerate for vr. At least for us we never could get
fluid true 4096 lines at 60fps on our gearvr´s with s6. If you go Cubemap,
you will get 6 cubes faces of 1536x1536 lines that will give you a
18432*1536 rendered image without distortion of the image at the poles. We
do a lot of point and click environments and we found that cubemap has a
lot better resolution than spherical even if we render shperical at 8k. The
only issue on this format is review in production and postproduction.
Mettle for AfterEffects or Nuke currently only have tools for spherical
format :S

Greetings,
F.

And why going cube map over stereo spherical?
Just curious, any particular reason?
Most of content I run into actually was stereo spherical and not cube mapped

 I agree depending on the type of project, though I'm glad they are
 still making strides as it's definitely still an excellent renderer, but
 why wait for custom AOVs to get Redshift ? ;)

 So, render part is like 5 sec but frame takes 30 sec.

 They better fix all the shit that is still there since version 1.
 Redshift in alpha is more production ready than Octane v2.

Re: Is rray still alive ?

[Jason S]

  
  
There shouldn't be any worry, RRay.de
  update intervals has always been around 3-4 months (and sometimes
  5-6 months), and last update was Nov.
  And Reinhard is frequently around Si Community, so you could
  perhaps send him a PM to inquire about next update?
  Cheers,
  -J

Re: Goodbyes (was this is the end...)

[pedro santos]

Suggestions sent :)

As for always being reachable, really depends on each person. Chats can be
very helpful but also a lot of distraction :)
I've been meddling with slacker for procedural things in general and for
Houdini in particular. People are welcome:
http://join-proceduraldojo.herokuapp.com
If you would like to know more about slack from an admin perspective join
Unreal's slack and ask Nick the admin there. He's a kind guy that gave me a
nice insight onto the platform! http://unrealslackers.herokuapp.com

Good luck :)

 Hey Mirko
 I had the email service I used to join Trello down for two weeks and
 now I see many emails where I'm mentioned in Trello cards. I'll be honest I
 joined but didn't grasp it. I see the last message is saying you're closing
 the page. So it's to be disregarded completely, right?

 Thanks

Is rray still alive ?

[Olivier Jeannel]

Just to be sure.
A few month ago I submitted my POLY set of ice nodes to rray.de but it is
still not appearing on the site.
Just wondering.

Thank's guys ! I'll do some conversion of what I already have, and will
choose a mainstream format for the next renders.

Re: Weight Tools

[Cesar Saez]

Hi Martin,

That's great! here are a few relevant links on licensing.

tl;dr:Legal
- PySide (LGPL v2.1)

- PyQt (GPL v3)
.

There's also a License FAQ
 on PyQt's
website (the trickiest one).

Cheers!
