Object subdivision levels and display/render flags.
-
Hey all. I thought there was a way to make the Octane live viewer match the picture viewer when rendering, but I can't find any answers even when googling. I found many people asking but never an answer. The live viewer normally uses the editor settings from the scene instead of the full render settings. Is there a way to force the live viewer to use the full render settings instead of the editor settings when doing test renders? Thanks. Michael

You know what I have always hated about the object mode? That it is a mode at all! Why would it be a mode when Object Move and Object Rotate do exactly the same thing as Model Move and Model Rotate? If it was a real mode then they would do different things. Instead of an entire mode, which is confusing and wasteful, there should simply be a standalone Object Scale tool that can be invoked in one tool selection or keystroke. Man, this board. <- I picked this emoji since it seems to be the only one that works on this board anymore. Feels like the entire world of 3D is dying before our very eyes.

Maxon now creating C4D Studio vs Broadcast dilemma with their nodes/capsules?
MJV replied to Jeff H1's topic in Discussions
I think you're over valuing whatever are these supposed exclusive nodes or capsules. It's just a marketing gimmick. If cinema nodes were truly of any use you'd be able to easily make these assets yourself and people would trade them back and forth like trading cards with no restrictions on usage. That's the way it's supposed to work. So I wouldn't sweat it. No one is ever going to require or need you to be a Maxon One member or whatever or demand some specific subscription to work on a project and if it ever does come to that then worry about it then but I don't think that will ever happen. -
I think AI will destroy the past by making it impossible to know what was once true or not. Only physical books and other records if preserved will tell the real story of humanity's past. Those who become invested in people accepting an invented past will seek to destroy any contradictory physical evidence by putting a bounty on the finding and destruction of it. The past will be constantly being reinvented to suit the present and the old tossed like dead hard drives.

You don't get it and that's ok.

I guess Apple users are ok with this but it's a crap solution in 2023.
-
Then why can't it do that?
-
I don't have an Apple computer to test myself but I just read an article that said QT Player cannot export MP4. Maybe it works to export 264 to movie and then change the suffice to MP4?
-
Thanks but asking client to download something is another step I wanted to avoid. Oh well maybe Apple will add basic functionality to QT in year 2030.
-
Hi Apple users. I have a client who has a very large QT movie that is 30 minutes long and 17GB. Is there a way that she can convert the movie to an MP4 using the QT Player? A quick google search turned up many conflicting reports and as client is computer illiterate I need to be able to spell it out in detail step by step. Thanks.

Interestingly the pictured container itself has many imperfections which either are artifacts of the manufacture process of the item or possibly the original mold . For example the visible seem ridges and the unevenness in the curvature of the spout.

I tried to learn Cinema's scene nodes which I very much wanted to have but found the implementation so poor and incomplete I ended up learning Houdini instead. Houdini nodes are a hundred times easier and more powerful. There is just no comparison and the fact that it was easier for me to learn a completely new program that I'd never touched before than it was to learn a new feature in a program I have used for nearly 30 years should speak volumes. Scene nodes in Cinema were introduced as a technology preview at first and there has been practically no visible development since.

Agree 100% The main use for volume builder I've ever found is in modeling for 3d printing or other fabrication where uv's and edge loops arent required.
-
How would you manage all the curves to flow smoothly in a volume builder workflow? Do you remesh it before delivery? Use some smoothing tools?
-
Regardless of method this is a very challenging model. There is so much going on in all those curves.
-
Oh please. 🙄

Off topic but that video's presentation seemed so hooky and tone deaf. Are the 70's back?
-
The downside is that the AI that made this possible will also make it unnecessary.
-
That's an extremely misleading statement. It is trained using copyrighted material, illegally , without which it couldn't amount to very much, or at least would take much longer to amount to something. It is only able to do this because image art is not very well protected compared to musical art, which is never used to train AI because it is so much better protected.

Maybe it's time to open the forum again and bring back the ads?
MJV replied to No One's topic in Discussions
I guess any change is time and time is money. If things are afloat for now then why rock the boat, one could argue. -
I think I may have seen this posted here earlier but can't find it now so here it is again.

I saw a lot people I follow on Instagram posting self portrait images made by Lensa ai. My heart just sank at the realization that art and photography and movie making as a career or profession as we have known it is probably over. https://t.co/BA8jqbenWQ

This seems like the best solution for growing the membership. Is it technically too hard to do or what exactly is the argument against it? -
Ah sorry to see you go but I understand. Best wishes to you going forward into the future.
