RE: ICE and Mental Ray - seen anything like this?

2016-06-24 Thread Sven Constable 
When I recreated a scene, I used emit per second, not total number of 
particles. It doesn't happen then. Indeed there seems to be a problem with the 
slide on surface node, when using a total number of particles AND the emitter 
is inside the grid. No idea what it is, but at least I can confirm it.

As a workaround maybe just using emit per second and animate the value to zero 
after emission?

It's probably just my system. I haven't got time to reinstall Soft so I'll set 
a test render going over the weekend and see how it goes.

It's something to do with the Slide on Surface compound.
I've managed to recreate the bug in a new scene. Something like this, if you're 
having a slow Friday afternoon, like most of us here in the UK!:-

Create and empty point cloud and emit some particles from geometry ie cube 
(dont move the cube). Create a grid (don't move that either) and use that as 
the surface for a Slide on Surface compound for the particle emission. Put a 
Simulate Particles node at the end of course. Step on to frame 2.

The render glitch happens when the emission object cuts through the grid, which 
in this scenario it does, and you make the Offset Distance in the Slide on 
Surface compound, anything but 0. Draw a render region.

That's it.

Hi All,

I have a very weird render glitch. OK I know I'm still using Mental Ray but I'd 
need to fork out a few thousand to get Arnold running here.

So I suddenly have an issue rendering a point cloud, image attached. Anyone 
seen anything like this before? I might need to rebuild it from scratch to see 
where the problem is.

Thanks

Chris

 I think mr still doesn’t support them. Another thing might be switching
 from "Use from disk…"to "Load in Memory…" in the clip property of the
 textures. (unlikely though but I've seen buckets rendered differently
 across machines when it was not set to "Load in memory")

 Hi All,

 I have a very weird render glitch. OK I know I'm still using Mental Ray
 but I'd need to fork out a few thousand to get Arnold running here.

 So I suddenly have an issue rendering a point cloud, image attached.
 Anyone seen anything like this before? I might need to rebuild it from
 scratch to see where the problem is.

 Thanks

 Chris

We are still investigating the Unreal implementation but we've had a few
discussions on what this means and how it can be used going forward.

 Is it possible to skin or paint weight maps in Kraken, or Fabric engine
 ? and then pipe them back into other apps, is there a ui for this?

 Kraken is an Open Source rigging solution for Fabric Engine that allows
 you to use and define rigs and solvers that produce identical results
 across different animation applications. Some advantages to using Kraken
 include:

 – Leverages Fabric Engine to give consistent results across applications
 – Flexible, customizable, and extendable
 – Portable rigs between Maya and Softimage
 – Easy to use Biped workflow
 – Node based Kraken editor
 – Open Source

 For those lucky enough to be going to Siggraph this year, be sure to
 check out the Kraken presentation at the Fabric Engine User Group.

 We also have a presentation at DigiPro about the work Oculus Story
 Studio and Fabric Engine's Helge Mathee is doing with Kraken for VR and
 Unreal Engine (Yes we have a prototype of Kraken rigs running in Unreal!).
