Re: ICE Internal Cache

[Eric Thivierge]

Yes I've done it for an internal tool. I can dig up a snippet in the next
few days. You're basically going to write to a Vec3 array attribute that
you'll have to pre-fill with place holder data then build up your data
array through your timeline pass and at the end set it all at once.

It's essentially emulating the shape plot feature where it baked the data
to a clip internally to the scene. So you don't have to manage this out of
the scene.

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

Stephen, that was something i though, too.. but first i needed to know if
was doing something wrong, i think i need to put some more frames or maybe
try the MotionBlur in After, because my pc can't handle MotionBlur in
Softimage and i need something good, quick and effective.
Thank you a lot!

Re: ICE Internal Cache

[Ed Manning]

pretty sure you could:

Get PointPosition => Build Array From Set => Set Data (self.myDataArray {or
whatever name you choose})

Then use a Get Data node referencing "self.myDataArray" if in the same
ICEtree, or referencing the geo or pointcloud you set the data on if
applying to other geo.

I think it needs to get more complex if you're building the pointPosition
array from a pointcloud that has a varying number of points, like a sim in
which particles are being created or deleted...

Just to be sure, as far as I know, Strand deforming objects, like Rob

I don't think RS does it, and I'm not sure for Arnold.

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Stephen Davidson]

Sounds to me that it is just a frames per second, and camera traveled path,
logistics problem.
If your camera travels 200 units in 200 frames, then the resulting frames
would be set 1
unit apart. To reduce the "skipping", you would increase either the time it
takes to go from
the beginning to the end, or step up the frame rate to something higher
than 30 fps.
"Skipping" is often referred to as visual strobing.

This is a common issue with gaming. The better the graphics card, the
better the frame rate,
which smooths the motion.

Motion blur will help smooth the apparent motion without having to re-time
the animation.
This will increase your render time, and you will need a higher sampling
rate to minimize
grainy images.

Motion blur can also be applied, post render, using techniques in the
composite program.
Here is a sample of post motion blur in After Effects:

Re: ice strand grass

[Rob Chapman]

Kris, sorry I just loaded demo scene strand dynamics hair, applied lizard
instance shape to few guide hairs, applied the strand deform flag and all
lizards perform as requested

really not sure what you are doing wrong !

 because they're generated at each segment point. How can I get one instance
 to be applied to one strand and bend with the strand like a chain? Any
 sample scenes or vids that show how to do this?

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

"Skipping" is the word i was trying to find. Exactly like that guys.
Just for making sure i'm not doing something wrong, i create another
Softimage camera, and one Arnold Camera, all with default settings, did the
same motion from left to right. 96frames at 24fps, the camera is close up
seeing some logo letters and when it travels through, it's difficult to
read the letters like they're skipping some frames. I did some flipbook at
24fps, and 30fps, but nothing.. with 24fps it's more noticeable and at
30fps it's less but even with that i see that "skipping".

In my scene i have 2 more cameras, My camB is doing some motion to show the
logo at 45degrees, have the same 96frames and looks better. My CamC is the
same looks even better because the logo is showing at the distance.

There's something i need to applied to the camera settings to see and read
better in a close up? Because right now it's only at default settings.

In fact i create a new scene, put some cylinders and did the same motion
from left to right at 24fps, but the same thing happen.

I haven't applied any other effect or motion blur.   Any Thoughts?

 Hi,

 hope you guys can help me on this.

 I have a little scene, the camera goes from 0 to 96(left to right) at
 24fps, it's a logo close up, When i see it in the flipbook or in after
 effects there are some issues with the camera, i can't explain it, it's
 like it's missing frames but it's not that. Like the camera it's skipping
 some frames in the middle, i tried to convert the scene to 30fps, the
 camera movement looks better(more fluid) but even with that it seems it's
 skipping some frames.

 There's a way to fix this? maybe some camera settings? btw I'm using
 the default perspective camera. Using sitoa for Render.


 thanks in adv.

Re: ice strand grass

There is also the PLND Deform By Strand (I think it is still on Rray.de)
that physicaly deform the polymesh along the strand.
Can be slow with many strands.
