Well, it's a mutated Arnold Schwarzenegger riding a dinosaur on the moon with a (dinosaur-)moon in the background! Not sure how effective the headlight is, but I guess it is how it is!...
90% of #VFX productions, can use #UE-5.2 and nobody could notice difference from #Arnold#Renderman#VRay or #3Delight. But using 60GB of free space to try it out is too much! Thanks NO.
I can't help thinking that #Arnold came out for that one half because she should and half because she's pissed that she doesn't trust the neck line to clear it at the moment.
Never thought I'd see the day... but we've got a client using Arnold who wants to have both arnold procedurals and usd files rendered via the automated turntable. Took some thinking, but actually got it working one to one. Arnoldproc's take a bit of manhandling to function nicely in solaris. 💪
Due to working with this external studio in the UK we're working with arnold procedurals in Maya 2020 and it feels like I have stepped back in time! Making the best of it by pushing to use bifrost at least... stepping us slightly forward.
Busy writing a python script to convert a bifrost graph to a native human readable arnold standin file (not like the serialized version that the native arnold exporter creates).
Its nearly done, just need to get my math right converting the point pos, scale and rot to the arnold 4x4 matrix.
Was a busy day making sure that my #bifrost graph instancing animated arnold standins exported correctly out to a larger consolidated standin. So far it was unsuccesful which is a real pitty. Hopefully I can crack it tomorrow.
Nailed it! 💪 Added an export script to our publish tools to convert a #bifrost graph to a clean unseralised #arnold#standin file! Handles point_position, scale, orientation, point_frame and instancing of animated #standins
This allows us to deliver clean repathable assets down pipe and to the external studio!
Best advice for remembering how to use "tar"? Think in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice – "extract ze files" for extraction ("-ezf"), "compress ze files" for compression ("-czf"). For extraction in current directory, think "extract ze vucking files" ("-xzvf"). ;)
My first try with stable diffusion. I am not disappointed!
