Those are installer folders under c:\autodesk. Safe to delete them

I'm in the process of cloning a system drive over to a 1TB SSD and noticed the 
C:\Autodesk folder contained around 31GB worth of files going back to Softimage 
2010.

I don't want to break anything, but I'd love to free up space.

On top of that folder, are there other folders that can be occasionally swept 
clean?

Thanks,

Paul

Re: The Autodesk folder - what goes and what stays?

Maybe..

And it's not just Softimage.  It's everything Autodesk.  I have Inventor
Fusion in there, SketchBookPro, etc.  So it's an Autodesk problem as a
whole.

C:\Autodesk is where the downloaded installers extract themselves. You can
delete them if you want. Those folders having nothing to do with the
installed applications.

I think everything can be deleted?  It just holds temporarly installation
files I thought.  But get confirmation from someone else before deleting it
just so that I am not held responsible if there is other stuff. :)

Maybe post the top level contents of the direction to confirm that it is
just the setup files.

Re: ICE deformation not rendering on the farm

ICE deformers preexisting in refmodels is fine.

Creating a new ICE op on a refmodel is *usually* fine, but sometimes not.

Re: ICE deformation not rendering on the farm

[Eric Thivierge]

Ref models are fine with ICE Deformers. You just need to ensure that 
the 'Get Data' nodes are using 'this_model' and / or 'self' instead of 
the full name. Since when you import a ref model it will most likely 
change the top model name and your ICE deformations will crap out.


Can you open the rig on one of the farm machines and VNC / remote in 
and see if it's functioning and check if the ICE Trees are evaluating 
properly?

ICE deformation not rendering on the farm

[Morten Bartholdy]

I have a weird problem, which might have a simple fix, but I don't know
what.

I have a mesh which I deform with Turbulize Mesh in a non simulated ICE
tree. It works fine in the viewport and the renderregion, plus when
rendering on my workstation. However when I render on the farm
(RoyalRender) the ICE deformation is lost. I have inserted a Log Values
node to see if it is ICE optimization causing this, but same, same, no
deformation. I guess I can cache the deformation and then it should render
fine, but I wonder what might be the issue here. I see no problems in the

Re: rendering multiple cameras not working?

[Stefan Kubicek]

Better forward this to the guys from Redshift, they are very quick fixing stuff.



I see, thanks for fixing this!
Best regards,
Eugen

This has been a legacy issue with 3rd party renderers when using the

current pass being rendered, the framebuffer has no other information on which 
actual camera is being rendered currently). Because of this,  new SDK function 
overloads has been added to correctly resolve specific cameras in a camera 
group:

Framebuffer::GetResolvedPath( const CTime& in_rTime, const CRef& in_rCtx );
Framebuffer::GetResolvedPath( const CRef& in_rCtx );

They work exactly as the old Framebuffer::GetResolvedPath functions but this 
time they require a renderer context which would tell the function exactly what 
camera is currently being used.

Hello,
is it possible that the 'render multiple cameras' feature is buggy?
(2014SP2)
I created a camera group, chose it in the pass, added the [Camera] token to the 
channels filenames, and the images overwrite each other. Looks like the camera 
name is not updated.
Thanks!
Eugen

Re: ICE// Instance Geometry to unique geometry?

[Tim Leydecker]

EUR 199,- for emtopolizer is not to much for what it offers.


But for all I need at the moment, here´s a link to a compound
from Guillaume Laforge (comes with an explanatory video)

http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=1579

and an set of compounds from Grahame Fuller

Re: ICE// Instance Geometry to unique geometry?

[Sebastian Kowalski]

this has been covered several times here. search the list for more in depth 
explanation.
you could do this via ice topology, there are some compounds for that.
or even better, support eric mootz and buy the em topolizer. that one is great!

ICE// Instance Geometry to unique geometry?

Hi,


I have simple crates I´m filling with ICE Instancing using a Simulate Rigid 
Bodies approach.

The collisionobject´s shape is put together out of even simpler boxes to avoid 
any

All this works reasonably nice and is fast enough to iterate and play with the

I don´t know how to convert the Particle>Set Instance Geometry used with the 
Emitter
to unique Polygon geometry?

Is that possible? How? I´d need "real" geo I can export, no instances.
