Thanks Jordi,
We are in the process of setting that up, we have a pretty good shot management
database/toolset here, we are currently publishing a single 'live' cache from
Maya until we get the animation cache asset system sorted.
All fun and games though ; )

I'm not entirely sure of what this represents.
For the most part it represents uncertainty. To me this is never a good thing
when you are planning long term. As much as I love Softimage (and luckily for
education its tops ) if I was making this purely as a long term business
investment (ie
Hey list!
I have painted a weight map which I use to displace the points of a grid in
the Y direction, like a landscape basically. Now I would like to move the
effect of the weight map in the X/Z direction as if something was sliding
underneath the grid. Right now I use a simple GetPointPosY +
Oh perfect, exactly what I needed to do! Seemed like an easy enough thing
to do, locations in ICE confuse me though, so big thanks to both of you for
clearing that up!

Hi Guys,
In case you did not had a chance to look into the next version of 3dfs,
here is a little test I did.

Looks interesting Greg. Two questions:
1. What is your hardware setup ?
2. Could you upload it in higher resolution so we can read the menus?

Hi Guys,
That entirely depends on the use-case.
Arnold is in faster most raycasting situations, but 3Delight will be faster
for for example motion graphics or character animations with unrealistic
shading.
And even then it can very much depend on the complexity of the scene and on
of what kind that
I haven't tried 3Delight, but Arnold is **way** too good. My gut feeling is
Arnie is probably faster overall.
That said, they're entirely different rendering architectures so it's not
fair to compare. 3Delight is (as I understand it) renderman-compliant which
implies they probably use the Reyes
True, it originated as a REYES renderer, but now it may be better thought
of as a hybrid renderer taking advantage of both techniques when needed.
I like working with Arnold too, but I don't think fast renders are one of
its strongest selling points.

I thought Development on 3Dlight got bricked on account of some American
copyright/patent law pertaining to algorithms ?
As a Ray-tracer it will never beat Arnold at its own game, but maybe it has
other tricks up its sleeve...
I've always heard that despite its legacy in the industry PRman is a
Hello Ciaran,
Next release of 3Delight for Sotimage is a path-tracer. REYES is optional. (You
can select one or the other).
The path-tracer introduces some novel sampling techniques, such as nice
sampling across multiple bounces, high quality environment sampling (no need to
blur your maps)
Very cool! I stand corrected. :)

Wow. Looks amazing @_@. I used to use 3delight for production till 3.1 and
changed to Arnold, but I like to try it again.
Do you know when it is going to be released? I still can see only 3.1.17
version is available on their website.

Thanks for the video and heads up Gregory,
it's refreshing to see that 3DL for Softimage is still actively being
developed, and from the looks of the change list relentlessly being bug-fixed
and optimized too.
You say this is a 4.0 preview, in how far does it differ from the latest
official
@Aghiles: You need to advertise your product more, I didn't even know you
implemented incremental updates!
Yes, we are working on that. The website/docs/communication will change so that
it becomes easier to see what's going on in the team and with the products.
I suppose you are doing

Hey Aghiles.
Of course I like to try. What should I do to try the new one?

Good comparison, I shall remember that :)
Arnold vs Mental Ray, the battle wages on.
Does 3Delight require shader dev or can a small to individual get what
needs to be done fast. Everyone doesn't use Arnold, some are able to
get there hands on it for whatever reason, excluding illegal methods.
