Pretty sure that applies also to Mantra renders. But, most places have a
smaller pool of engine licenses and export all frames to .ass or .ifd for
rendering. Since export times are usually shorter than render times, it
works out quite efficiently. But yeah, definitely another expense to
consider.
generating was pretty quick, so we did not really have machines waiting to
render.

Yeah, it looks like the interactive pivot overrides the pivot parameters of
the kinematics property. It lives in its own universe. Confusing...

Hi,
so it's pretty simple after all to have interesting interaction between
RBDs and Lagoa simulations: https://vimeo.com/51754990.
But, if you have a bunch of objects in your scene that need to interact
with the fluid, you'll need to instance them to a pointcloud - not such a
big deal most of the
Hi,
you can get some funky two-way coupling between lagoa and bullet RBD
particles. There is some trickery involving ICE topo and instances to get
interaction to work in both directions, I'll post an example some time.

Would be nice if we could have fcurve controls on the penumbra falloff

I think a projector shader is definitely the way to go with lights. You
can directly control the falloff and colour impurity you want in

How about integrating Momentum and ImplosiaFX? That would be a super combo!

This is really sad news.
Good luck to all the 7%-ers
Hi,
the easiest way to deal with this type of thing is indeed using matrices,
but you need a local matrix per polygon. You can get a 3x3 matrix using
Self.polygonreferenceframe. You're going to want to zero-out this matrix
(it just describes the local axis of the polygon), but matrix multiplying
Wait, can I call mysterious segmentation faults on Linux a 'small annoying
thing'?
