Blueprints strike me as nothing more ground breaking than node-based prefabs--gimicky; I'm not sold. For the time being, I'm sticking with the more generalized platform of Unity.

Re: Multi-Layered .EXR - The revival...
Not many people use multilayer exr because it's slower to read than splitting it out to different files. This slowness is solved with EXR 2.0 but Softimage isn't using that. Don't really know if it's possible with MR but in Arnold you simply name the framebuffers the same and it gets merged to one file. Maybe that's how it works in MR as well. /Jens On Wed, Aug 26, 2015 at 9:35 PM, Pierre Schiller activemotionpictu...@gmail.com wrote: bump On Mon, Aug 17, 2015 at 7:28 PM, Pierre Schiller activemotionpictu...@gmail.com wrote: bump.

I know this has been posted a lot of times, but I was wondering if AD did ever fixed the issue with multilayered .exr images on a single file from MR? (mental ray). I know all other render motors work normally when rendering layered .exr images (arnold, vray, etc..) But SI 2015 can already render .exr layered image (zdepth,normals, etc.) on a single file? Store in channels work well... I guess, but I was asking this if there´s any possibility to work those layered passes directly from the render manager? Thanks.

Correction: MentalRay in SI may not be using that, but Arnold, Redshift, and 3Delight in SI do (among many other updates) Including things like VDB support etc... (None of which would have happened had there not been any usage/demand (more than a year post EOL) Recent changes (2015) for Arnold 3Delight for Softimage, (Redshift updates would just be too long to list) Arnold for Softimage 3.8 July 13, 2015 Faster export times overall on Windows (up to 20% faster). Faster export of polygon meshes (up to 35% faster). Much faster export of ICE instances (up to 5x faster) and ICE primitive cylinders, discs, cones, boxes (up to 3x faster). Faster rendering when using SItoA shaders on Windows (up to 15% faster). 3.7 June 10 2015 Faster cutout texture mapped opacity, with more accurate renders (in previous versions, an object was rendered more transparent when it was further away from the camera). Multiple scattering for volumes: Indirect light in volumes now supports an arbitrary number of bounces instead of being fixed to one bounce. Per-light volume contribution: A volume contribution scaling parameter was added to lights, similar to the existing diffuse and specular parameters. Deep volume output support: Volumes are now visible in deep renders (note that older atmosphere shaders and volumetric mattes are not supported yet). The volume property now shows the names of available grids in VDB files. Faster UDIMs: UDIMs accessed through the built-in image shader node now internally use texture handles, which helps improve multi-threading performance. 3.6 April 27 2015 Optimized volume rendering Fixed long-standing artifacts with large ray marching steps Faster volume caches (such as OpenVDB) in IPR 3.5 March 09 2015 Transmission component in the hair shader. Support for the Volume primitive as a property and volume_sample shaders added. Mattes now work with volumes as well. 3.4 January 16 2015 Faster Curves and Volumes. Opacity controls added to the Skin Shader. The autobump detail enhancement now works for procedurally displaced polymeshes even when there are no UV texture coordinates. 3Delight for Softimage Changelog 4.0.49 - 2015-07-24 OpenVDB. Fixed output to Preview window when all the Render Channels are disabled. All the lights are hidden and the raytracing is disabled when Main Render Channel is not enabled. Display first enabled Render Channel in the Preview window (it was unconditional displaying of Main Render Pass). 4.0.48 - 2015-07-23 Added 3Delight Hair material. More detailed profiling. 4.0.45 - 2015-06-04 Fixed light visibility in IPR Default SSS Algorithm is Ray-tracing No limit for GI and SSS samples 4.0.43 - 2015-03-12 Output rendering progress to stdout Fixed mesh lighting in RIB export Fixed float precision in fog 4.0.41 - 2015-02-21 Faster reflections when using multiple bounces. 4.0.40 - 2015-02-13 Ignore the Smooth Subdivision Threshold if the object has displacement Don't skip environment map rendering if there are no envmap files Fixed bug when a light can't be changed after user changes Interactive Rendering Type Support for JSON statistics ESC key stops the rendering 4.0.38 - 2015-01-06 Fixed depth in deep output with path tracer.
