Hey @bitinn The 'Position World' is indeed supposed to be the correct node for this. Maya's viewport 2.0 'consolidation' can be turned off in VP2 settings if you really need it. Though this could come at a small performance hit for large scenes. One alternative might be to hook up 'Parameter' nodes instead to expose the…
Hey, I am kinda freakish when it comes to temperature in my computers... My laptop which has passed away always overheated when I worked on it. I got a new desktop and it has a i7 930 processor. I am wondering if these temperatures are bad: Core 0: 46C Core 1: 46C Core 2: 48C Core 3: 49C There average for all is 47C I have…
I am given to understand that a lot of outside-the-box coders are seriously considering a revolution in rendering. Apparently a lot of them think that the advent of multi-core processors is going to make the traditional GPU obsolete, and that the standard rendering pipeline will also be phased out in a few more years.

VR standalone is pretty much in PS2-3 era of optimization. Number one reason of VR performance hit are the badly handled UI and Code. 100+ individual UI textures being called instead of atlased for example. As for 4k 8k, general guide is 2k for 3rd person and 4k for FPS. It gets interesting depending on company workflow…

We don't even need to come in to the office until 1.30pm, we just have to do…

The project offers revenue share or royalty participation per episode, giving animators long-term upside as the series grows. If you’re…
EU citizen can use a crack to circumvent DRM if Autodesk isn't providing license activation and still be on the good side of the law. That's my superficial observation of the situation. IANAL. But i think there is no way in Hell Autodesk can win a case in front of an EU Judge when it comes to having their way. Perpetual…
Actually, In a bit more detail, after observing the behind the scenes of Blizzard Entertainment and few other games, the animation part can be done using any 3d modeling tool (3ds max in general) and than it can be exported as Xfiles to be implimented in your program to be run by events, so you can play that animation on…
