No problem Jonathan ! I'm rather happy :) Still on 15.5, I'm waiting a bit before switching to 16. I barely use the point SOP, but for the tut I was trying to do it the most classical way, plus I'm a super slow typer, doing it in wrangle would have made my audience fall asleep ;) 2017-03-10 21:1

Hey list, I wonder if anyone got 3rd party shaders like the BA shaders for example to work with satellite rendering in MR? If you install them in a workgroup, it works as expected but unfortunatly not when using satellite rendering. I'd like to have them in a workgroup but not installed on eve

Oliver, Hope you don’t think I wasn’t being critical when I mentioned the Point SOP being deprecated in H16. I’d already mentioned that it was a good tutorial. 😊 I just think it’s good for those on this list that have just made the move to H16 to do things the new recommend way (avoid using

Love this. http://creativity-online.com/work/20th-century-foxamd-meet-walter-film/51235 Odd for AMD to want their brand to be attached to something so foreboding but then again Ridley Scott managed to convince Coco-Cola to tie their brand to Blade Runner way back when. -- Softimage Mai
