Just an update...so instances on strands are not really supported in Redshift...yet...but its on the to-do list for this year. Going to probably check out the Forrester plugin for this in the meantime. Kris On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 9:30 AM, Morten Bartholdy wrote: > I

Re: ice strand grass

I haven't tried this with RS, but Tim Crowson has made some nifty tools for working with Redshift proxies. I don't know if they can help you with your current scenario, but in case you did not know them here goes: http://www.timcrowson.com/redshift-proxy-manager/

Re: ice strand grass

Awesome Morten thanks...I'll check it out! I'm actually using RS...don't have Arnold but maybe it will still work...will let you know. On Mon, Feb 29, 2016 at 7:20 AM, Morten Bartholdy wrote: > Kris I didn't see if you render with Redshift or Arnold - Arnold does > support

Re: ice strand grass

Kris I didn't see if you render with Redshift or Arnold - Arnold does support deformed instances on strands - I have used it to create a grassfield with turbulent wind. I have sent you a simple scene demonstrating the setup. /Morten > Den 27. februar 2016 klokken 23:06 skrev Kris Rivel

Ohwell that would suck. I may just have to animate the objects and instance them...bummer! On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 4:53 PM, Olivier Jeannel wrote: > Just to be sure, as far as I know, Strand deforming objects, like Rob > showed, only render in MR. > I don't think RS

Re: ice strand grass

Just to be sure, as far as I know, Strand deforming objects, like Rob showed, only render in MR. I don't think RS does it, and I'm not sure for Arnold. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 10:02 PM, Kris Rivel wrote: > Thanks Olivier...that helps...going to look at that. > > Rob...ha

Re: ice strand grass

Thanks Olivier...that helps...going to look at that. Rob...ha ha...I think my ICE skills are below your assumptions. I did this same setup (from what I can see in your image) and I'm getting instances on the hairs but they're not deforming even in the render. Is this tree on the simulation stack?

Re: ice strand grass

Kris, sorry I just loaded demo scene strand dynamics hair, applied lizard instance shape to few guide hairs, applied the strand deform flag and all lizards perform as requested [image: Inline images 1] really not sure what you are doing wrong ! On 27 February 2016 at 14:36, Kris Rivel

I think you use it in an empty polymesh On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 4:58 PM, Olivier Jeannel wrote: > > http://vk.com/videos-20599655?z=video-20599655_161547261%2Fclub20599655%2Calbum-20599655%2Fpl_-20599655 > Le 27 févr. 2016 15:44, "Kris Rivel" a

Re: ice strand grass

Rob...thanks...that does help with keeping one instance but they still don't bend/move with the strand dynamics. Olivier...this looks interesting and I'm trying that too but I can't get it to work. The node is red no matter what I do and all the links to the authors site and vimeo are down. On

Re: ice strand grass

There is also the PLND Deform By Strand (I think it is still on Rray.de) that physicaly deform the polymesh along the strand. Can be slow with many strands. On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 10:12 AM, Rob Chapman wrote: > there is a checkbox 'loft shape along strand' > > On 27

Re: ice strand grass

Yeah no go with hairs...so using ice. But now...I still quite figure out how to get strand dynamics to play nice with instancing. Anyone have some pointers? I have some nice strands blowing around but when I hook up my set instance shape or particle shape, it basically seems to create an instance

Re: ice strand grass

If you're using redshift you might be out of luck though, don't think they have deforming instance geo yet. On 24 February 2016 at 22:20, Kris Rivel wrote: > Oh...I thought I would see it in the view...I'll have to try that then! > Thanks! > > Kris > > On Wed, Feb 24, 2016

ice strand grass

Is it possible to deform geo instances along a strand? Creating some up close grass. I have some good geo meshes and want to instance them to the strands. They instance ok but they don't move with the animated strands. This possible? Kris -- Softimage Mailing List. To unsubscribe, send a mail
