I found the book HDRI Handbook really helpful on that site. I think they
have a newer version since I read it.

I'm unexperienced using the Physical Sky/Sun setup. I'm trying to adjust my
shadow/fill ratio on the image and am having trouble finding how to raise
the level of the shadows. I have the Photographic Exposure shader on my
pass as well. Where can I adjust how dark the shadow areas are with this

reason.

I'm working on a quick rig to mimic how grass gets bent over by a wheel. I
have something working along a single axis but I would like it to always
rotate away from the effector object. The thing that is stumping me is how
to break out the Orientation node to manipulate the axis the particles are

I can't pinpoint the cause but it seems like I'm not the only one running
into this. Switching passes and fiddling with shaders seems to trigger it.
I am not using any other renderers though. I'll just keep restarting
Softimage to fix it.
Thanks for the feedback.
On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 6:03 AM,
Over here in the US I see a lot of people working for in-house freelance
rates from home on their own equipment. This seems unwise to me since
hardware/software and other costs are not really taken into account. To me,
there is a difference between going into a company and working with their
client
Oleg pointed out that my model had some double edges that were created by
the polygonizer and fluid shaper. I tried the Delete Double Edges compound
but that didn't work. Once I tediously removed all the double edges,
Implosia worked well. I'm not sure how to avoid the double edges with
polygonizer
Thanks for the info Eric and Ciaran. I will give that a shot.

Won't you run into the problem that the Object ID's are aliased? That's why
I never pursued much in that direction regarding after effects. You would
just end up with poor mattes. I'm interested to hear how you worked around
that.
What I would really prefer is a multi-channel EXR out of soft with
Spoke too soon. Found this link in case anyone else runs into a similar
need.

Is there a way I can just render out the caustics on a surface and not the
light? I have been trying some things with the visibility and Ray_Type
switch but can't get it to work. It seems like there would be a way to get
a pass like this out.

Uggh. Disregard. Shadows were disabled in Render Options for some reason.
Too long of a day and I'm getting fuzzy headed.
I'm having a similar issue Paul. How did you pinpoint the corrupt scene

This seems basic but it has always confounded me. I would like a softer
fade from the center of my spot light to the outside of the cone angle.
Adjusting the spread seems to make little difference. See the linked photo
for an illustration. I don't understand why the falloff does not start at

I have an object that has an animated mesh derived from animating the
source objects of a poly merge. I'd like to then emit particles from the
parts of the mesh that are moving quickly. I've read that you can't get the
velocity on meshes like this because they are being set every frame. I'm
hoping
This is an aside, but if you plan on using Adobe stuff at all NVIDIA is the
way to go. CS6 relies heavily on the Cuda technology. I know many of you on
here probably don't use After Effects and Premiere but many small shops run
these apps on a workstation with 3D stuff.

I have used Royal Render in the past and found it to be really nice. The
system I'm trying to use is a remote render service called REBUS.

I am using REBUS render farm and it seems to be pretty quick and

easy way to make passes not render when you hit render all? I assume that's

Why do more Samples in the Refraction section cause the object to get
darker? I would expect it to reduce the noisiness of the Gloss. I just need
to clean up the gloss of the refraction, am I looking in the wrong place?
Is this an effort to get everyone on subscription? I haven't heard any word
about that going up. (crossing fingers!) I personally like subscription.

I'm trying to make something along the lines of this video from Firebird

At SIGGRAPH 2011 there was a panel where one of the larger houses(Weta,

an array of cameras that took around 300 stills of an object and then they
were able to generate very dense meshes with albedo maps. Does anyone

Can anyone recommend a reasonably short demo video I could show to

Yeah, it's a presentation to a mixed group of professionals here so not
everyone will even be 3D artists. I do plan on explaining how it's way
beyond a particle system and show some simple yet useful things I've used
it for over the years that are non-sim related.
