Re: SI and Houdini

No there is not, I discuss at the beginning the workflow in which I suggest you still use XSI for modelling or a combination of Zbrush and Topogun (or the likes) for a retopology approach as that is the normal workflow. :-/ Jordi Bares jordiba...@gmail.com On 29 Jul 2014, at 23:31, Matt Lind

Re: SI and Houdini

Polygonal modeling in Houdini does feel a bit clunky and slow, mostly because of the viewpoirt interaction. However there are some really cool procedural modeling tools that I know miss when going back to softimage. The bad news is that you will need a second app to do most of your assets, but thi

Hi chaps, having a context brain fart. I've got a set of texture coordinates on a mesh, and would like to drive a weightmap by the V values, but am struggling to switch the context of the data from sample to vertex. Would love any pointers in the right direction. cheers, matt -- www.matinai.co

In emTools you have compound called "Per Node to Per Point". Just take a look at it, it's only a few nodes. Am 30.07.2014 13:44, schrieb Thomas Volkmann: Hi, probably you need some NodeToVertex, NodeIndex, VertexToNodes stuff, but it's hard to tell exactly without seeing what you are doing. I

Hi Jordi - yes, we're aiming to record everything. I'm hoping we can get a screen capture but doing everything off of laptops (and people with their damn Macs) makes it tricky - we'll do our best though. Thanks, Paul On 30 July 2014 03:35, Jordi Bares wrote: > Looks really interesting… shame

This is going to be really basic so i hope i don't get on anyone's nerves :) How would one get about inserting two or more paths for a crowd to follow, basically just get the pedestrians to lock onto the closest curve from their emitter and stick to it? And then at the end of the curve, or the goa

RE: Rendering Fuzz on farm flicker problem

Hi Ivan, I got it working after some mucking around by using a cached version of the strands and using the 'cage deform' node from Paul's tools. Works like a charm as long as you aren't doing dynamics! Let me know if you need a scene file or a diagram etc... Cheers, Nick

Hi Nick, Thanks for reply. When setting up fuzz for animation it automatically set's up "cage strands"(if that's what you were thinking of under "cage deform"?) compound. So yes it's in my setup. I am also caching strands and not simulating them. It is so not predictable for me. Sometimes it works

Re: Rendering Fuzz on farm flicker problem

If you cache, (strandsize, strand position, strand colour) then apply the cache before the cage, getting rid of the fuzz compound entirely as you won't need it once styling is done, Then it will won't flicker and should be generally faster too. Sent from my iPad > On 30 Jul 2014, at 14:13, Iv

RE: Cinema 4D an option?

Just wondering if anyone has done any real character animation in C4D. I bought version 9 when I dumped Lightwave and the character animation tools were pretty much crap (which is why I own Softimage now). I heard they updated them a while back, but I can’t really find any tutorials or even exam

Re: Rendermap SSS albedo

there was a sss shader a while ago we used to do rendermaps with, cant remember exactly but it bypassed/ignored the lightmap input and was normal shader input. kin or something is all I rememeber. cheers, james, On Thu, Jul 31, 2014 at 4:45 AM, Christian Freisleder wrote: > hey list, > >

hey James, thanks for the info. Do you remember if you baked the lighting into it as well, or did it work without the lighting too. I get a fine rendermap, but I always get the lighting baked into as well. It seems to ignore the drop down list where you can choose between "color and illuminat
