Wasn't there another thread about this already?
-
In theory you would drag your My Render Setting into xpresso and feed its input ports accordingly. Cinema will let you do that, and it will let you make the connections, but unfortunately it doesn't work. Cinema does not allow Render Settings to be adjusted using Xpresso. You can see in my screen shot below that I fed the output Width value a number and there are no error messages, but the Width value nevertheless does not change. You can use Takes to set up different render settings, but again there is no way to dictate which take is active using xpresso that I know of.
-
I guess you should upload a sample scene that isn't working well so your settings can be checked. Otherwise people will just be guessing.

I must say YouTube TV is pretty great given that's quite a bit cheaper than Spectrum TV in New York City, is able to cloud DVR an unlimited number of programs, and unlike with a cable TV package, goes with you wherever you go. So for example I can start watching a DVR'd show in the morning in Manhattan, and travel to Indiana in the afternoon and watch the rest of the recorded show in my new location. As long as you have an internet connection you can watch your live or recorded content anywhere you go, and it remembers exactly where you left off from before, even months later.

And yet, here you are. Even when you like another, it's still hard to give up on the old one. I understand.

In all fairness, this seems fair. Not that these threads don't have some entertainment as well as educational value, but at some point one should, as they say, either piss or get off the pot.

That's a nice list but to be honest I never miss any of these things when working with r20, and so far the comfort of never seeing a "license expired" message pop up on screen is worth more to me than any of these other things.
-
I've changed many of the Cinema specific shortcuts to shortcuts that are faster to hit and easier for me to remember, so I probably wouldn't do well on that part of the test without looking at the list in advance. But for me a person's problem solving skills and especially their troubleshooting skills are important considerations, as so many of the technical aspects of 3D as well as workflow speed require those talents above all else. Someone should make a course and certificate for that. 👨🏫

This thread got me thinking about how no employer ever asked to actually see or verify my college diploma. 👀 😀

I agree the 3D Roadrunner cartoon samples look and sound soulless compared to the 2d versions I grew up with. I am tempted to say it's because they are 3d, but then I am reminded of Pixar's For the Birds cartoon which is superb and proves that a good cartoon can be made in 3d. https://youtu.be/nYTrIcn4rjg

Announcement Maxon Announces an Agreement to Acquire ZBrush
MJV replied to HappyPolygon's topic in Discussions
This is not what happens when software companies like Adobe and now Maxon acquire new pieces of software that fit their market niche and subscription portfolio. Nothing from ZBrush will be ported to Cinema and nothing from Cinema will be ported to Zbrush, because in reality you can't just plop code or design from one software to another any more than you can combine two different artists' paintings into one painting. The only conformity between the products will be how they are billed and maintained, and we already see that change happening. -
Omniverse - How NVIDIA will overshadow all 3D DCCs through AI and Hardware
MJV replied to HappyPolygon's topic in Discussions
The hype from these companies is always completely divorced from reality. -
My point is I don't think you one can infer anything from it whatsoever. It could be anything from one fix solving hundreds of bugs or some coincidence of definition with a certain new class. Cinema 4D is what it is right now which everyone can see so it doesn't seem necessary to pile on about a probably statistically not significant one time differential in the bug ledger.
-
Complaining about too many bug fixes. 🤸♀️😄
-
👍 Haha yes I remember Rui.
-
I can't remember well but Cinema just kept getting better all the time so it never won enough days to fully capture my fancy. Even worse, I bought Softimage (for way more) some years later and ended up never using that much either, though I was able to advocate for many of its good features that I liked to eventually end up in Cinema.
-
Haha, yes those are mine. I was so bummed when coffee support was discontinued. Would have liked to update them to python but then I never could find the time or motivation to learn it.

No more software boxes but camera equipment still comes in boxes. 😉
-
That's why I took a photo. It's hard to throw away but I have to clear shelves for new boxes and I live in a Manhattan apartment so room is at a premium. BTW, I purchased the LW software second hand on a whim and ended up never even using it. That was wasteful.

The receipt was in the box, an upgrade from R6 to R7:

If you're looking for a deal on the latest software then look no further. I have two great deals for you just in time for Christmas. 😀

Ok. I signed up. 😀

Hi. I was looking for this thread in the new Houdini forum and of course didn't find it there. I know that Igor has posted a lot of good content about Houdini but it seems to be scattered all over the place. Would be nice if it could be consolidated somehow to the Houdini forum or maybe even just links in the Houdini forum to Igors past threads would help.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the question, but already you can convert from one selection type to another by using Ctrl-Click or Shift-Click. For example, if you have a poly selection and Ctrl-Click the Edge Mode icon, the selection will convert to an edge selection and the modeling mode will change all at once. Shift-Click converts the selection more expansively.
-
It would be nice to be able to restrict any kind of selection using fields. For example, using a Select node set to "All" that selects all when no field is present, but selects only those inside or outside the field when a field is used.
