Softimage to Mudbox 2014 sp2 - Mudbox tool strength not working correctly

So, just a quick note for others that may have issues. After importing to Mudbox from Softimage, you need to scale the model/object. If you don't freeze the transforms then the sculpting tools have odd behavior: touching directly on the model to sculpt causes a the tool to appear to barely change

Memory Leak when animating with SI 2015

I don't have many details on it, but I found SI hogging nearly 80% to 90% of my ram after animating an hour or two. I use GEAR rigs, yet I have no other idea what would cause this memory leak. Any pointers as to how I would troubleshoot that in SI 2015? Thanks in advance -Draise Ph: +5

Re: Cinema 4D an option?

Nothing has render passes like Soft, end of story. Houdini can get there and past there in terms of power and complexity, but you have to put the hard miles in first. Soft was just the perfect balance in those regards, I have yet to see something as immediate and still that flexible anywhere else.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea to install various trials at the same time, but I wanted to stress test Modo, C4d, (& Blender) at side by side. and I personally found c4d to be the most straight-forward/versatile (like freedom in an open field) while rema

Re: Cinema 4D an option?

The thing that I miss from Softimage in Modo, where passes are concerned, is the ability to create pass-specific partitions and overrides that don't exist anywhere else. Other than that, I have to say that I think Modo's pass system is possibly more powerful, simply because its passes are /cont

Would have to disagree on the Modo front. Its animation tools and rigging are first class. The things you can do with weight maps and containers alone is amazing. Although you do need to understand the whole order of operations thing. From: Mirko Jankovic mailto:mirkoj.anima...@gmail.com>> R
