Multiple Objects, Snapping w/ unexpected results - 2014 2014 sp2

Okay so...I've read the manual, searched the list and reset my preferences and tried the earlier version of 2014. I have several objects that are aligned to each other. When I select them and translate them using the manipulator for all three axis, w /snapping, in Global mode and COG on or a

Intel Xeon Phi Co-Processor and Mental Ray?

I stumbled upon these co-processors today and was curious if anyone had used one with mental ray or another x86 based renderer. Didn't find many answers about real world usage, but did see a few other curious souls. If you have, did you by chance do a comparison of performance increase? Thanks,

Stand-Alone to Network license?

So I bought a Standalone license last year, before Softimage was killed, and recently I have been trying to figure out if there is a way I can upgrade to 2014 networked version so I can have a 5 batch MR render nodes. I found FEE06-797413-0101 but an Autodesk chat rep, my reseller and another

Re: Stand-Alone to Network license?

This is long...TL;DR at the bottom So, I'm using mental ray because it came with Softimage, it is well established and adding 5 batch render node licenses was supposed to be cheap. 3rd party renders all seem to lack some feature and are as expensive as the 5 batch render node upgrade. Mental ray

Scaling enveloped and animated model

So I have a model I did some test animation on. Of course the scale I used to model/rig was Softimage's and not the game engine that is 9.67 times larger. So I have at least two options: I can scale the root null before plotting or I can use the scale factor of upon FBX export. Is there another
