Re: Compositing app choice

[Perry Harovas]

Nuke all the way. 
I use AE when I must but hate it for 32bit. 
Color management is a joke in AE, exr files crash the system and run out of 
memory using the ancient plugin which is more of a hack than any real type of 
workflow. 

AE is good for motion graphics, but anything serious in film world, don't 
settle for anything other than Nuke ( or Fusion if you don't need certain 
things).

Really. You will regret it.

RE: Anybody still using mental ray?

[Sven Constable]

I use mental ray almost exclusively for any project so far, even I'm
evaluated arnold, redshift and maxwell. Maxwell is so far the most accurate
renderer I've seen so far in terms of light distribution in a scene and
nothing comes close to it in my opinion. It's amazing if you do product
rendering only. But it lacks in shader variety, softimage integration and
general tweaking, as mental ray has and allows. Arnold may be a killer for
big projects, heavy scenes but its expensive. Redshift is affordable,has
good GI for animations and the best integration in Softimage besides mental
ray (I'm still wondering how they managed to get the round corners shader
into RS! I was thinking it's a mental images/NVIDIA patent)
There are only two things that stopped me switching from mr to RS: 
1. I don't want to throw away a expensive CPU based renderfarm.
2. mental ray still has more shaders. It's slow sometimes but it is rather
good when you want to do non physically based things. A bit like Softimage
itself, the all-purpose, swiss knife.

So yes, I use mental ray.

I have a selection of mental ray shaders I wrote long ago still perfectly

performing math, or other basic features missing from the native shader

Don't say yes because you want free digital swag.

Re: Friday Flashback #274

[Matt Lind]

When Daniel Langlois ran the company, the customer facing element was very 
design and artist centric.  It spoke to the end user.  Daniel was selling 
inspiration, a vision.

When Microsoft entered the picture, they threw money at it to make it more 
visible and accessible with the peak being around the time of the photo you 
reference.   When Daniel Langlois left the company and Microsoft later sold 
it to Avid, there was a noticeable shift in personality transitioning to 
more of an engineering focus with attention to user friendliness and 
corporate like global branding.  The company didn't speak through it's 
leader's vision anymore, but instead through the face of it's products which 
didn't have a central voice.  Sumatra was still being sold on inspiration, 
but Daniel wasn't around anymore to push the message.

In some ways, Daniel Langlois' Softimage was just like Steve Jobs' Apple. 
When you bought from Apple, you were buying Steve Jobs' visions and being 
inspired by him, and that momentum carried you to the purchase.  Today Apple 
still exists and sells really well, but it speaks through it's products and 
it's products don't have that same inspirational connection they had when 
Steve Jobs was around to push them.

Re: Momentum / implosiafx plugins

[Oleg Bliznuk]

Thanks for kind words guys, but i have to note that i am personally
responsible for implosiafx only, all credits regarding momentum  should go
to Helge as he and Ben agreed to share it. I only did some bugfixing work
on mom3 and a couple of features so it became as mom4 with bundled implosia.
As Fabricio mentioned, the old plotting was removed as being too unstable
and Crate is the replacement for it.

2016-05-26 22:03 GMT-03:00 Sven Constable :

I checked the crate plugin, but its an just alembic import export. The docs for 
momentum says there should be a submenue called 'plotting'. The settings in the 
scene root for momentum, regarding plotting are also missing. Version 3 has it.

I checked with Softimage 2011 SP2 and 2015 SP2.

The demo limitation in prior versions did not allow plotting. Maybe the 
plotting functions were removed accidently by removing the license verification 
inside the 'SoftimageMomentum.dll'. I maybe wrong. Oleg?

It was a lot of fun to make tools and various tech stuff in ICE, thanks all for

Hopefully those plugins still can be usefull.

Re: Arnold shaders, interactive oppacity on Alpha?

[Oscar Juarez]

That is something that Arnold has never done, Refraction always comes with
solid alpha. Opacity on the other hand works as you want but probably is
not what you are after. The way to handle this is to render with your
background in 3d so it's seen through the refraction.

Re: Compositing app choice

[Andres Stephens]

I like fusión. Node based compositing is much more flexible and easier to grasp 
when it comes to layers. AE, unless you start getting into programming and hard 
to visualize constrained parameters between layers it doesn't cut it like 
node based compositing.
As a feature set I like Nuke. Fusion is great but it doesn't have math nodes. 
To be honest I really enjoyed compositing in Blender. It has math nodes so you 
can build you're own compositing systems from the ground up if needs be and the 
node workflow add-on is really fun. Some of the best node workflows I know 
The only downside is that it's slow to render - not terribly optimized. But 
another up on it is that you can have all different compositions in the same 
file and they all can reference into the video editor it has so you can preview 
the edit and then tweak accordingly without having dozens of comps open. Also 
it's DOF node is excellent (better than Fusions imho). As a 3D space... unlike 
the others where 3D was built around the compositing.. this was built the other 
way around. shame it's so slow to crunch frames.

How much is that Sotimage ICE shop bag again?

Arnold shaders, interactive oppacity on Alpha?

[Pierre Schiller]

Hello Softimagers! :D

I´ve been doing some quick test renders on arnold and I happen to come
around a dead end:
I know arnold property has to have "opaque" unchecked on the geometry in
order to work the transparency from the shader (on the Refraction Scale = 1
to be fully transparent, also I switched Diffuse Scale = 0).

But when I preview alpha on the image, I still get an opaque geometry.

The general idea, should be that by driving a % value, I can decrease the
opacity on the mesh gradually via the arnold standard shader.

Is there an easier way to do this?
Please help.
Thanks.

These links include builds both for win and linux 64bits + documentation and

It was a lot of fun to make tools and various tech stuff in ICE, thanks all

Hopefully those plugins still can be usefull.
