Other then this issue really enjoying
Had a similar issue. Finally ended up exporting the animated character to
alembic and then reimporting that so I didn’t have to deal with the rig at all.
Didn’t unfortunately have the time to try and fix / match the settings on the
local / render machines.
Kind regards

The question is will max become purely developed for Archi Viz by Autodesk
going forward. I think that is a distinct possibility. Max will always have the
horde of plug in folks to fill in the gaps but the important thing here is
where Autodesk is going to put it.
Autodesk has to focus on
Possibly , make it
Intuititive,
Useful but mostly
Meaninful from a workflow point of view
Ie make it be where people want to go in order to get stuff done in a
quick, visually helpful manner.

I don¹t think that is a solution at all. Ice has a workflow and the ice
node editor compliments it very well. It doesn¹t mean its the right thing
for the maya Node editor though. The main issue in Maya is actually
defining what it is would be useful for people to be spending their time
doing in a

Subject way out of left field.
Anyone have any experience in Grid Computing / Virtualisation. Currently we
employ the standard 1 person / per workstation rational. In the longer run its
an unsustainable model because we are unable to push up lab fees to keep up
with our required expenditure.
Really impressed at how the foundry is trying to find workflow solutions to
problems first and then building the tech around that. Rather then just
throwing existing tech together.

Hi All
I am busy looking at workflows to try and get students to export alembic files
for lighting and rendering.
However Maya 2015 alembic export include options like use world co-ords etc. In
the Softimage one all that I can see are basically options for ICE attributes.
Does anyone know
Interested to see if they release it on the ARC licences. Most of Autodesk's
EDU stuff is free so that’s in theory a good change for us.
