Re: Running Softimage from the network (central install)

2012-10-09 Thread Andy Jones
I can't speak from personal experience with Softimage running from a network, but one thing to keep in mind is that Linux (specifically NFS) does a much better job than Windows (specifically CIFS/SMB) of caching files and not always pounding the network over and over again for the same stuff. I

I usually get cameras in via FBX or Collada which have pixel aspect 0.9 and the image ratio is off by the same ratio, so I would check those two first. Morten Den 9. oktober 2012 kl. 15:54 skrev Rob Chapman tekano@gmail.com: different or the units of measure are out between imagemodeller

I've always tried to get IGES. My understanding is that it's sort of the OBJ of the CAD world. Fairly universal, supported by most packages, etc. MOI supports IGES directly and works well with it. Otherwise I've used Deep Exploration with a lot of success. -Paul On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 10:50

I've used IGES into MoI a lot for this and it's always worked great. What issues were you having? I find the meshing options you have in MoI to be excellent and fast. In version 2 the meshing got a lot faster and handles larger files better. Quick and simple, it doesn't get a lot easier

Well, IGES is a bit more like the DXF of polygons IMO ;-) It's pretty stupid although it can work well. I usually ask for the files in Step, Sat and IGES (as fallback) and try what works best - the first two contain more useful information while IGES usually doesn't preserve naming etc. but that

At one point we actually did a test to see if asset caching locally would net us any speed, and somewhat surprisingly we found out that no matter what, we couldn't beat the local caching of NFS in any way. It's usually that good. On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 5:55 PM, Andy Jones andy.jo...@gmail.com
