SItoA update 5.1.1.0 with Cryptomatte 2.0Author: Rachid Hadj Abderrahmane
Updated May 31st 2018 — Rachid makes the latest Arnold Renderer version available to Softimage users via updates/patches of the last SItoA release 4.1.0. That includes support for Cryptomatte, the new subsurface scattering method and the new toon shader as of Arnold 5.1. Since his distribution package does not contain any binary files, the Arnold SDK has to be downloaded and the patches applied manually following the detailed instructions he gives in the si-community thread / his posted walkthough video.

Cryptomatte is becoming an industry standard for ID based object/hierarchy selection in compositing (Nuke/Fusion plugins provided).

Introduced in this si-community thread. Latest update posted here Installation walkthrough video: SItoA Update Core 5 0 2 2 & Cryptomatte. A how-to video on how to use cryptomatte with the latest update can be found here: SItoA Update Core 5 1 1 0

local backup:SItoA_Update_Core_5.1.1.0_&_Cryptomatte_V_2.0.0b3.zip

New plugins, tools etc.

Hi Rachid,
I was wondering if you have any plans on updating to 5.1. I'm mainly interested in that nice toon shader ( i know softimage has it's own toon shaders but still). Any thoughts?

yes I'm working on whenever I have a little bit of time, I just finished the Toon_Shader, but be patient, because I'm really busy
here is the Ui of toon shader matching 100% Maya.

Amazing!. Great to hear that you are already working on it. No worries, I know is always difficult to find free time. Take as much time as you need, I feel glad that there's someone working on keeping arnold alive in softimage. Thanks!!

Hi,

Anything on the 5.1 release for Softimage?
I could use the new features to update an old project :-)

well at the moment I've to problems
I'm not finding a way to implement the operator node
for toon shader you have to set the contour filter manually via cmdline
SetValue "Passes.Arnold_Render_Options.output_filter", "contour"
cryptomatte beta 3.0 not working, beta 2.0 work fine
I can upload the last release(5.1.1.0) if someone need it

Thanks for keeping it updated. :-bd

What might be worth a shot is if you made a fork of this
https://github.com/Autodesk/sitoa/
so it could become 'official' when the solidangle guys merge it into the master branch (or however that's process is called ;))

Hi Rachid,

Whatever you have running for 5.1(.1.0), I'm willing to give it a run. I don't need Cryptomatte for the time being, but can use the 5.1 features. And if the contour stuff needs a small workaround, I don't mind.... ;)

But it's odd that no-one is responding on help requests. Is everybody on older versions still, or moved on to Maya or Houdini?

Hi Everybody, and thanks Rachid for keeping Cryptomate alive in sitoa! Here is compiled latest SItoA-5.0.0-alpha-windows-2015 from the devel branch of https://github.com/JenusL/sitoa/tree/devel. It has adaptive sampling and other stuff already. You can check on the GitHub what is already there....

I'm not a coder also, but I managed to compile it myself. I think it will need vc++ redistributables to be installed to work properly. At least here is the list of VC that is on my machine:

Hi,

Thanks for that!

There's a discussion on the xsi mailinglist on this as well atm, and a compile for download of the same code I guess.
The only thing missing in this build is the denoiser fucntionality, but all other things work fine. Even the new toon shaders etc. :)

cheers!

Nice update, but there is missing attributes in most Shaders (the AOV part)
if you kick -info Standard_Surface you can see the new introduced AOV
kick.jpg
So you have to edit the arnold_shaders.mtd to add the AOV part.
I noticed that you have added MAXtoA.Shader, but the Shaders exist in SitoA!
Hope the team can update the operator Node and the noice part !
