Autodesk better move fast with NAIAD technology integration in Maya (it's
probably already happening) because killing the stand alone Naiad is just going
to make people buy Houdini more...

Why can't you break your scene into passes? With the point cloud hidden in the
light map pass?

My qn is: why does your point cloud need to exist in your 'light map' pass? Do
you mean that the point cloud still needs to be rendered but not evaluated for
light map?
Clear my doubt...

Autodesk will not continue to market and sell Naiad as a standalone
product but it is anticipated that certain Naiad technology may find
its way into future Autodesk offerings. As of this time, there are no

You are right, the ICE Particles cloud are not evaluated for the lightmaps
(they don't affect lightmap illuminaton).
I would want to compute the lightmaps and the final rendering in just one
click on render. Not using two passes. Lets say that mental ray in one
click on render button decompose
While investigating how to pass per primitive data from Softimage to MR, I
found in a simple .mi archive those interesting user data associated to
leaf box instances, present only when the object is split into several leaf
instance boxes :

What I would do is to have your lightmap algorithm look up for an custom
attribute in the scene and see what needs to be eliminated from computation?!
This would be a hack to solve your unique rendering requirement ;)

To be sure to be well understood, imagine a scene, composed of a sphere
with a ICE Cloud Particle around the sphere. The lightmap shader is only
attached to the sphere (not to the ICE Cloud). When the lightmap compute
his illumination, it casts shadow rays (and / or secondary rays depending

Hi list, hi Support,
as many other studios we've been suffering from fairly regular crashes when
trying to switch workgroups containing custom renderers in an open

results.
However this time I've

This is a common issue that has existed in ICE since the very beginning,
and it has easy workarounds, so you are in luck.
1) Create an ICE Tree above your ICE cache read operator on the cloud in
the new scene.
2) Copy the branch that built your Shape Instances from the original tree
you cached
If that's what AD is going to do - suppress Softimage in favor of Maya,
even if SI is the superior host platform - that would be a good example
of some pretty lame product politics.
Anyway... we'll see.

why don't you precache the whole scene or animation with the pointcloud
hidden and then read back in the lightmaps on the final rendering?

It's really still anyone's game. I was JUST getting into Naiad when this
