If you're part of the VES and watched the behind the scenes you would have
seen XSI being used on the Lego Movie 2 production. I am sure they have
moved on since but that wasn't that long ago that a full feature length
animation (an innovative one at that) was being done with XSI.

Wow, been a while for me but... Don't use Emit On Surface and instead bring

There is a custom property you add which allows you to control the
subdivision. It also controls zero point and if you want to amp your
displacement if you want. If you have a high bit depth map then you
probably don't want to do that though. This property can be found under
Arnold>Properties menu.
The modeling tools have made strides and our very own Brent McPherson is on
that team.
Start with the Modeling toolkit, and also use the right click context menus.

San Francisco still struggles with fiber... why didn't 'Google Fiber' come
here first? :) Many thousands of dollars per month... if you are using it
or not. If they did metering like power bills maybe that cost wouldn't be
so scary.
We have played a little bit with Zync and talked directly with so
We have needed to do just this, ship hard drives to and from our clients
and it still sucks. 3 TB of data doesn't just come online instantly once it
is in the building.
But yea... scaling past your capacity is one of the major points for us
too. It still has a cost that needs to be evaluated per s
should be interesting how they limit output resolution... i guess if you
use houdini to launch the render they can do that but if you can export the
scene to .ass/.rib then they can't block what resolution. i guess i am
saying... remove the limit?

and I agree with you on cloud, I am actually not crazy about it either, but
a lot of people see it as the right way to scale. The cost becomes cheaper
for some but could be more expensive for others. When someone makes the
case to use it they *tend* to leave out what I think is the biggest
issue...
I didn't see where Luc-Eric is claiming cloud rendering to be our
saviors... he just points out how rendering on the cloud makes logical
sense.
The take away is those purchases don't have much to do with patents.

Agreed! I don't believe that narrative of consuming patents as a reason for
purchasing Softimage.

For me, when or if Marcos and his team stop publishing to SIGGRAPH and
releasing papers without patenting first I will know Autodesk cares more
about "patents" than the talent and pr
It certainly could happen. Again, I am cautiously optimistic that it won't.
You can choose not to be so optimistic and stop using Arnold ASAP, so no
decision Autodesk makes in the future will impact you.
But just so it is clear... I was addressing the idea that Autodesk's first

Softimage != Arnold, full animation package with an API vs a rendering
engine that IS an API... In Softimage's case AD is/was trying to convince
us to switch to a competing product, in this case t
I tried to touch on this with the last sentence in my reply. Their decision

reduce it to numbers, it made sense. It is a truth I don't like to admit

I am not excited on this acquisition either but it is easy to see that this
isn't the same deal as the Softimage one. So don't confuse my statements
for full support but rather a level headed look at what is really happening.

Yes, some aren't excited about paying AD money but that is what I am
saying... AD will need to keep these people happy or they will ditch
Arnold. Breaking Arnold in C4D or Houdini is a lose lose scenario. They
don't sell a Maya license and they don't sell an Arnold license. If we

I doubt this, they want people paying them. A SolidAngle customer who
didn't pay AD before (C4D or Houdini users) now has to pay AD!

I find this when exporting compounds, the preset tree gets refreshed but
maybe it fails to finish and stops adding nodes to the view. I just use the
'refresh' next to the search field and it typically comes back.
