Re: Render a single frame without frame number in file name

I suspect Raff is correct as you used to have to put in the frame token, which now I looked because of your question has gone! S. On 07/05/2013 23:55, Raffaele Fragapane wrote: I think it used to be before the arbitrary tokenization was added, but then disappeared. I might be spectacularly

[OT] Free lightweight standalone tool for combining tiled renders?

Hi all, I've recently been exploring ways to quickly and easily combine tiled .exr renders. I'm preferably looking for a free, lightweight and standalone tool. I know I could do it in the FXTree or Nuke, but I'm looking for a lightweight and simple command line tool. The best candidate so far

One Ice tree, different colors

Hiya, Situation: I have 1 simulated Ice tree with 3 emit from geo, each with different color. I have them cached. Question: Now, how can I use those 3 colors separately for cached particles in rendering. Color Attribute gives me only one color output which is all three of them together.

Re: One Ice tree, different colors

You should be able to use Equal To and IF nodes in the ice tree to separate them and save out the colors to individual attributes. /Jens On Wed, May 8, 2013 at 1:31 PM, Artur Woźniak ar...@platige.com wrote: Hiya, Situation: I have 1 simulated Ice tree with 3 emit from geo, each with

Re: Yeti for Softimage

yes building ice in maya does sound excessively enterprising, which is why i asked if it would be doable as supposed to viable. i'm much more interested in a simple artisan tool counterpart for softimage there would be a nice place for it, right on the shelf beneath the weight painting tooles :P

Re: One Ice tree, different colors

I would suggest Sandy's way as your colour information will travel with your particles and like he said you will have better control as you grow the complexity of your ICE tree. This method does work very nicely, I recently had to do something along those lines with multiple colours on one ICE

RE: Friday Flashback #118

:) I think both. It will all depend on how well we communicate to the younger generations several things, for example... 1. How difficult and complex the state of CGI was 25 years ago. 2. The fact we were having an absolute blast rendering with a maximum of one 512x488 texture map, no
