Re: render curves

[Mathieu Leclaire]

Why don't you simply create ICE Strands from your curves? You can render strands using the particle size attribute to drive the rendered pixel width as long as you set the ICE attribute ShapeSizeAbsolute to false. -Mathieu Vladimir Jankijevic wrote: it's not possible for arnold with the sitoa exporter because sitoa won't export any softimage curves. what you could do though, is extend it to do that. But then again, it's maybe easier to make an ICE compound to generate strands along the curves and export with the current sitoa and render with arnold.  cheers On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 4:29 PM, Alok Gandhi <alok.gandhi2...@gmail.com> wrote: Seems like you need to make your own shader. It is possible for Arnold I think. In case you are using Arnold, I will ask our awesome shader developer to know more and keep you posted.
