How does the two plugins compare speed and memory wise when it comes to
meshing a heavy fluid?

The memory consumption of emPolygonizer4 can grow quite fast. The more input
particles and the higher the level of detail the more memory it will consume.
emTopolizer2 however meshes things bit by bit which results in neglectable
memory consumption no matter how your level of detail might look.
PS: emPolygonizer4 works well for most setups! It is just that it has its
limits when working with very heavy inputs and extreme level of details.
Very neat stuff Eric!
Do you have any plans to support OpenVDB with Polygonizer in the future?

Ah thats cool news - can`t wait for emfluid 5!
I was interested because OpenVDB does very fast meshing of pointclouds to
levelsets ect.

Hey gang,
Tim Borgmann just released a short video on Vimeo with some of his latest tests
and experiments with emTopolizer2. It is, in my opinion, a great collection of
examples of how emTopolizer2's new feature (the conversion of particles and
strands into polygon meshes) can help to create

Meanwhile, if anyone hasn't seen his reel, it's really fun to watch...
Great work Tim!

The reason is not that it is difficult, I was simply to lazy.
Would that be sort of a killer feature if it could handle instance
Honestly, I gave up on some cool effect because it wasn't implemented

It has been a while since I needed Cage deformers and I am running in to a

translation, pick the cage deformer which is also frozen and translation
zeroed, but when I apply the Cade deformer the deformed object pops to a

Try exporting/importing it as obj, maybe something on it needs resetting.
Check the normals on import maybe some things whacky there.

Hi Manny
I just did - exported the character and the deformer as obj, reimport and

Hi,
I am currently trying to render a simple scene using Softimage 2014 SP2 on
Cent OS 6.5.
However, when I launched the render using xsibatch, it crashes.
$ tcsh
$ source /usr/Softimage/Softimage_2014_SP2/.xsi_2014_SP2
$ xsibatch -render ~/Colosse/Scenes/Test_rendu.scn
It appears to be crashing before you even get a license, or before it ever
gets a chance to print out the licensing info.
The only verbosity level you can change is that of the renderer.

:). For the record, the simulation region is like a little for loop space
of every operators in it (based on the number of sub-frames) and keep the
previous evaluation state in cache.

If all the properties you need on the strands is the color then you only

Well, that's a starting point (:
Have you tried the usual backup/remove preferences? Is that on a render

Ok, now I have the code and handoff from Simon. If anyone is interested
in working on this, let me know.
We will release it for free like the Maya version (with some Terms of

is an incredible experience using it. Realized that there is already a

I wasn't aware that there was one for maya.. but then again not touching

involving it.
