RE: mentalray, exr vs map

As far as I know tx files are the domain of renderman and arnold - MR uses .map to do the same thing. S. Sandy Sutherland | Technical Supervisor [http://triggerfish.co.za/en/wp-content/uploads/udf_foundry/images/logo.png]

Ooo ok sorry Stefan, but pretty sure MR only uses .map files in that way, otherwise you set the mipmap options and it does it on the fly. S. Sandy Sutherland | Technical Supervisor [http://triggerfish.co.za/en/wp-content/uploads/udf_foundry/images/log

Re: MatCap GLSL shader for Soft - easily doable?

I tried out Gustavio's clever approach and it works, but on my machine at least it doesn't appear to be behaving quite like a true MatCap, in that the results seem to be in object space as opposed to camera space (but I've got a weird graphics card so it might just be me?) Plus I didn't like havin

Re: MatCap GLSL shader for Soft - easily doable?

great job andy! so how was the workflow of making the shader? did you use all softimage gui and the shader code editor? did you use an external editor and kept re instancing the node? or did you use mental mill text/graph editor and output .msl from there to use in softimage? s On Tue, Feb 12,

Im guessing that he got it working in Mental Mill2 and copy / pasted the GLSL codes over to the SI shader :) did the code work straight away with no conversion? nice one by the way Andy, wanted to try it but sadly only got as far as installing mental mill2 before being distracted by open beta of

Re: "good" resellers?

For a large enough studio having a sales contact on the same timeline is actually still beneficial, but it comes with a bit more than just being yanked around the yard faxing documents and making phonecalls. There are things like temp licenses, discussions you have and so on. That for small volume

Re: MatCap GLSL shader for Soft - easily doable?

@Steven - I just used textpad and kept re-instancing the node, it was annoying. I fiddled with the shader code editor but this was such a simple little shader it wasn't really worth my time to mess with it. Outputting msl from MM was my first idea, but a)I never found a way to, it would write an

I'll keep exploring. I'm a complete noob to this kind of stuff so I pretty much just waded in and started banging rocks together hoping to get fire. "Me wants matcap" level approach. But now I've gotten my feet wet, and it was fun, so I might wander down the path of doing some glsl and see how

Awesome Gustavo, yes you broke it out perfectly! The big plus with this multi-node approach is that you can do stuff I haven't implemented, like rotate the texture, or more easily mix several matcaps together, add bump etc (though I guess you could do that with the single shader, too.) The sha
