Awesome, looking forward to seeing what you come up with - would be nice to see an animated character with hair, to see whether it holds up... I don't ask for much do I?!

Hey!

I´ve started a new thread for tuts and walkthrough.
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=2199

Stay tuned ;)

@mattmos
..oops...yes, a little to much for now ;) I would like to start with an indoor setup, just to get a first taste ;)

I vote for 'animation with GI' and I don't mean just 'camera animation'

Regarding the sharing of licenses between vray for SI and for Maya, discussed earlier in this thread:

You have five Batch licenses, so you can run xsibatch on at most five machines. Doesn’t matter what renderer you use.

from here: http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk ... eing-used/

So that means, if I want to use my additional vray licenses from maya with softimage, I have to buy additional xsi batch licenses?

For a lack of other words: Autodesk, are you out of your mind?
Thats how it is. If youre paying for software you´re the one who gets the kick in the butt. No more money from me for Autodesk.
Bye.

You can just send it off to vray standalone can't you? Don't need xsibatch for that...

It even says that in the thread you linked...

That doesn´t matter. It´s this overall ridiculous licensing policy I´m so tired of (among many other things). It´s the limitation of batch licenses, that made chaos group sell Vray for Si with only 5 Rendernodes, not some courious marketing desicion. I just can´t bare Autodesk anymore. Sorry Softimage team.

Edit: You can´t "just" export to vrscene and render. I have a scene, 160 mb, static geometry, 2500 frames. It takes about an hour to export, generating a file about 16 gig in size. This takes five times longer to load than to render. So without additional batch licenses I´m just screwed. Thank you so much Autodesk, you just blew a project for me.

i am not sure of your issue entirely but we use the -processing flag so we only use the renderer license (arnold in our case)

this sounds like an issue with the way chaos group chose to package and sell its product. we buy standalone licenses, not plugin licenses... this makes our licenses very valuable and usable across applications. again... this sounds like a chaos group issue.

there are plenty of things to complain about when it comes to autodesk and softimage... but this isn't one of them.

My post you are referring to is from last year and it's obsolete. I didn't know it was possible to use the processing flag then.

No, I take full responsibility for this mix-up.
I should have opened a new thread instead of resurrecting this old one... ;)
