Re: OT:Houdini indie render solution

Hey guys I'm still on about this shit :) So Cycles is impressive!! And free, so setting up a farm is about finding computers and that's it :) Only thing is, until they have alembic in blender, its going to be painful. I'm trying to get fur into blender at the moment. I've created an obj of my

Re: OT:Houdini indie render solution

I know that Redshift's requirement is that the strands be set to segment. If they are any other setting then they don't render. I have not tried this in Blender, yet. It is on my list of stuff I need to do. That's all I know. Sorry. Best Regards, * Stephen P. Davidson* *(954) 552-7956*

Re: OT:Houdini indie render solution

Just to correct you here Stephen, Redshift has been able to render other shaped strands for a long time (18 months at the very least). It was very picky for a while about having the necessary clean and valid StrandOrientation and StrandSize attributes and the like, which might have been why yours

RE: Softimage 2015 latest vs 2013 SP1?

Regarding convincing the management to put money on XSI: Well, since Softimage is still five years ahead of its time, upgrading to 2015SP2 means to stay productive until 2020… at least! It may also be a good thing to open old scenes/projects with the latest version. It's an investment in the

Softimage 2015 latest vs 2013 SP1?

This came up the other day here - what exactly is the diifference between Softimage 2013 SP1 which we run here vs. the latest 2015 which I guess is SP2? >From my understanding there are no actual new features, but an assortment of improvements in ICE, the viewport and some Alembic exchange stuff.

Re: Softimage 2015 latest vs 2013 SP1?

Hi, The 'biggest' difference is the ability to save scene files/emdl's bigger than 2Gb on Windows. That was introduced in SI2014. 2014SP1 and SP2 were just bug fixing installs. But the difference is a mix of smaller updates and fixes in all areas of Softimage. If you use ICE/rendertree a

in 2014 they added a camera sequencer, crowdfx updates, ice overrides and some ice syflex stuff. Ability to handle larger data files is useful. in 2015 they added support for mr 3.12, some great ice stuff like tab search, pausing evaluation, muting ice trees, and a fast save backup scene option.
