Re: Whiskeytree Athens tech demo
This is awesome. It's funny how Arnold has changed our pipeline, we're no where near what you guys have but the entire Model reference ass switching workflow is what we've implemented already i.e. the ability to swap between all three at any time, make changes to the source in the lighting scene and push those changes to a newer revisions, both models and ass files so they roll in to other shots etc. I love how when you drop a ref model down on the ground it's just a select and click to drop, sweet.

Re: Whiskeytree Athens tech demo
yes, we publish an asset and you get a full resolution xsi model and another model which is just the lightweight arnold standin. that script is swapping the resolutions. that is all we don't do hundreds at a time we also can skip the importing as full resolution, and just import the standin. we get good at knowing where to place something from the proxy model. also, these are wrapped into more models (layout asset types) and we break up with workload. we don't have full access to all the data at all levels from just one lighting scene. we use the asset manager and good organizational skills to get at the sub assets, make changes, republish and re render. On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 11:14 AM, Alan Fregtman alan.fregt...@gmail.comwrote: Hey Steven, Quick question for ya: for swapping resolutions, did you simply swap refmodel resolutions or did you have both low and high res in the same asset and toggle vis? We've found sometimes swapping hundreds of models can get pretty slow. Curious if you guys had any issues on that front. Thanks for the insight so far. Cheers, -- Alan

Re: Whiskeytree Athens tech demo
Ya I realize that demo was sped up... I guess I let my mind run away a little :-) I was thinking you had done some sort of mesh drop using a constrained null or something. Then I started thinking you could switch between normal constraints or just axis constraints i.e. align to ground or just Y up and slide the mesh around. You can show us that demo when you've implemented those features ;-) On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 11:24 AM, Steven Caron car...@gmail.com wrote: i think the speed of the demo and clever use of interactive snapping might be fooling you ;) but you give me an idea for a custom tool plugin like piotrek's mesh paint plugin but for our pipeline.

Re: Whiskeytree Athens tech demo
We did build some tools for auto aligning objects (non particles) to surfaces though it's not in that demo :) On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 11:43 AM, Simon van de Lagemaat si...@theembassyvfx.com wrote: Ya I realize that demo was sped up...

Very impressive indeed! Bravo Whiskeytree!
