Re: OT: Oculus rift + LeapMotion + Softimage?

I have all of them items above on my desk. I'd recommend one of these though https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/get-cardboard/ if you dont have an oculus, currently its the same resolution display and no wires out of the back of your head either. the plastic colorcross with headband strap is bes

OT: Oculus rift + LeapMotion + Softimage?

Hi, this is kind of an offtopic thing, but is there anyone in the list who has already jumped into the VR wagon? I´m checking out some motion leap demos and honestly if we could hook it into softimage (rigging for example as in -animation-) I see a dream come true. The basic idea? posing your char

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

Paul got back to me - caching the start frame and reading it back in per frame should solve it. Not exactly sure how to do the reading per frame though. Morten Den 12. juni 2015 kl. 12:44 skrev David Barosin : > I'm not familiar with Paul's setup but he's a very clever and talented guy. > If t

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

I'm not familiar with Paul's setup but he's a very clever and talented guy. If the jitter is just a few occasional pops, I'd check if any nodes are using a point reference frame (ICE attribute) instead of a poly reference frame (or a point normal instead of a poly normal). When sticking geo/parti

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

Shot in the dark here, but I always use the "store strand groom" from melena in my groom ice tree, and then have a simulated ice tree with "restore strand groom". I'm doing my fur in houdini at the moment, so I'm a bit rusty on the workflow, but that's how I remember doing it last year. G On

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

Well this is very average scale and centered, as I am in the proces of rigging and applying fur to the elements. No legacy Hair either - only ICE, and no simulation for turbulence or the like. MB Den 12. juni 2015 kl. 10:43 skrev pete...@skynet.be: > have seen this on some production shots. >

Re: Virtual Apps

well, the infuriating thing must be that there is enough money to solve a problem, but because of policy, rather than being flexible and doing just that, more money can be found but not to solve the problem. And so now one tries to go through hoops to see if by throwing the money elsewhere the

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

have seen this on some production shots. because of massive scene size (as in: things happening a long way from the origin) we ran into limits of floating point precision. The solution was to offset the whole shot (parent whole scene under a null) so it was centered around the origin, and rebake

Re: Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

Maybe it is not only with fuz.. I'm actually having same issue but with softmiage hair. with animated character hairs jitter like changing places in every frame... so it maybe is not something from the fuzz... On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 9:55 AM, Alok Gandhi wrote: > I have no idea of the tool and

I have no idea of the tool and I can be absolutely wrong but just out of the blue do zero out any epsilon values in the greater than / smaller than nodes (if any). On Fri, Jun 12, 2015 at 1:20 PM, Morten Bartholdy wrote: > I have had the pleasure of testing Paul Smiths excellent Fuzz for > app

Paul Smiths Fuzz for animation

I have had the pleasure of testing Paul Smiths excellent Fuzz for applying fur - great tool with comprehensible controls for grooming short fur. Unfortunately it looks like the strands orientation jitter when the generator surface is animated - deformation as well as SRT. It is set up for animation
