Also, you will need a commercial Houdini license (not indie) if you want to
play with it :(

with a free non-commercial PrMan...

I have a scene which crashes more or less randomly and Arnold prints an
error that there are degenerate polygons in the scene. The geometry consist
of 3600 simple cubes which are imported from an alembic file generated in
Cinema4D, so manually examining every object is not really an option. So my

As the blog post says, degenerate polygons most of the time are zero area
polys, a filter points with a very small distance have solved this kind of
issues for me on the past, but since your geometry is deformed you have to
check if it doesn't break your plotted shape or if it doesn't break other

Thanks a lot Oscar - I will give both methods a shot and see what happens.

The script only selects the bad polygons, also the one on the blog, they
don't do anything else, this will let you identify the polygons that are
the problem, but then you have to decide what to do. If the issue comes
from overlapping points maybe even a very small smooth might move them
apart and
Morten,
I already got Vray render error due to geometry import problem.
In my case, I have floating points without any polygon.
To quick check it manually you can :
- select all objects to check
- select all polygon
- select all adjacent points
- and finally, Invert selection
If it select po
Thanks Andreas, I forgot about affogato.
Probably much more trouble that I can spare at the moment anyway, and I can
use Maya to render ... the new RIS mode is useful and a nice addition, got
a couple of crashes from Maya as usual.
Having Mental Ray, Renderman and 3Delight for rendering is q
Thanks for the input. Filter points with a small value fixed it for me -
happy camper now.

Or you get Redshift.. one renderer to rule them all ;)

Redshift is a bullet. Just sayin '
That video with a gazillion hairs on that deer. Just blew my mind.

Redshift is very nice.
I am however heavily investing in Octane currently. While there are plugins to
work with most applications at the moment. I really prefer separating my
workflow. i.e. bringing in the Alembics, quickly assigning the materials from
my local Library, and Vrooosh ;) If you do
nope ;)

HI Eric,
I am not sure about the status of the bug you reported, you had best contact

Just a quick shot in the dark, constrain the lattice or parent to whatever
is driving your head position, this will offset the lattice deformations to
be relative to the head even if your lattice is being deformed too.

Doh! Knew it was something simple...that seems to have done the trick!!

Both Maya ports of 3Delight and Renderman are not very stable, I got frequent
crashes from them in the past too. Other than that 3Delight is the bomb, it's
been featuring dual path tracing
I'm looking for something like cat eyes or road signs. Where the

Hi Maurice.,
Can you confirm if there will be an SP2 for Softimage 2015? Most of the
times the SP2 are the best out there to work in production.

You just need to pull the right vectors from mental ray and do the
computation yourself, which isn't hard.
You need 3 pieces of data to perform the computation:
- intersection point (state->pnt)
- light position
- camera position (state->org)
The intersection point is the point on the

I'll give this a try soon!

Peter- Great find. Thanks!
I've tried a few things with the incidence nodes hooking up to another
incidence node to drive the gain and bias and then mixing some
constant colors to fake the look. It worked okay.
I've also tried a few variations of mia_material with an actual
