Wetmap Graph/Resources not signing in

Re: Stretching & Displacements

Thanks Hector. I hadn't seen that video before. It was very helpful. I do have some confusion though on where you doing the multiply & divide nodes for the multiple displacements and where you were doing some of the scaling on the extensions and placement node. If you have time and could go into a b...

Stretching & Displacements

Hi all. First off, should the .exr displacement maps generated from Realflow be used as vector displacements or as floating displacements? I'm trying to render inside RMS and it's all pretty confusing as none of their shaders for it are very straightforward. Second, I have attached an image that sho...

Feature Request

Hi guys. I think it would be amazing and tremendously helpful if there was a way implemented to sort of 'catalog' meshing previews. In other words, similar to running test renders, you can catalog the images in the render viewers (I personally use RMS and IT) which in my opinion is awesome. You can ...

Re: Hybrido Displacement Always?

usually i just set the domain displacement to always while i'm meshing it. I'll simulate a frame or two in the GUI with the mesh on and the displacement shader just to make sure it looks good, set the domain to cache, but with the displacement in the domain now set to always, and sim the displacemen...

Re: Meshing Questions

i'm trying to fiddle with it using RFRK and bringing it in. I am using Maya 2015 and rendering with Renderman RMS 19 on Yosemite.
Can you give me a walkthrough of what to use in the RFRK shelf to best do this? Thank you

Re: Meshing Questions

Isn't Maya gonna get crushed though trying to bring in that many particles into a scene? In many cases, i don't even really want to mesh out those particles so much. Rendering them as particles gives a nice effect i'm just not sure how much a scene can realistically handle

Re: Hybrido Displacement Always?

Thanks Luis. I'm still a bit confused though and I think this is an important thing for me to fully get down. So, the way I have been doing it is this: Run the Hybrido simulation with displacement set to Never Set domain to cache Add a mesh and test it out on a frame(s) to make sure the meshing qual...

Re: Hybrido Displacement Always?

so i should do a step to add the displacement before doing the meshing? All along i was doing never, then setting the domain to cache, and then turning the displacement on to Always and meshing at the same time. Does this work the same as what you said or should i be doing an interim step to calcula...

Hybrido Displacement Always?

Just want to clear up, when I am simming out my Hybrido fluid, should I have the Ocean Statistical Spectrum Displacement set to Always, Cache, Never? Usually, I run the sim with it set to Never. Then when i go to build my mesh I turn it to always and tweak it then. Does it make a difference? Should ...
