2012-10-17 Thread Byron Nash
Is there a way I can just render out the caustics on a surface and not the light? I have been trying some things with the visibility and Ray_Type switch but can't get it to work. It seems like there would be a way to get a pass like this out.

Lagoa is a unified simulator which means it combines several solvers in the same evaluation, which is to say you can theoretically do water, cloth, softbodies and rigidbodies... so yes, you can. On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 7:05 PM, Pablo Tufaro wrote: > > Hello everybody! > > I just want to know if

The opensource versions of both Implosia and Momentum are quite usable... of course if you are in production you probably want the latest and greatest. Specially since they are not that expensive.

I built the emit srt-matched instances compound a few years back prior to momentum and implosia entering the scene. The idea was to pre-cut geometry using pre-ice scripts that are probably still around (though later I began to use Houdini to make fragmented models, looked better.) the compound t
