INSTRUCTIONS: Automates light pass creation process. Requires lights to be grouped, for the render passes shall be built per group, containing all the lights within. The script also requires an additional group as the top node of the aforementioned groups.
Create this hierarchy, select the top group, run the script.
Result will be a diffuse and spec pass per group, using the name of the group.
will make this more user friendly in the future. For now please feel free to download here (save target as)
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.
In this tutorial well be taking a look at using vray4maya’s render elements to output passes for nuke compositing. Topics well be covering are:
The Intel – Core spot was developed at Advantech Studios, Toronto, by William Barber and Michael Poretti.
Filming, editing, sound design and music by director William Barber via Advantech Studios.
Visual Effects produced by Michael Poretti
Rendering 8 million hairs on a student budget is challenging to say the least. However using Joe Altar’s Shave and a Haircut Plugin for Maya, I was able to manage the fur in 6 separate hair systems using a workstation with limited hardware specs.
