CINEVERSITY

P.S.: your output is 4800x6000 pixels, which requires a lot of resolution.

A 100% scale, but a crop with a 16,3984x8,192 image in the Dome-Light based on 8*8 large squares.

The sides are concave, which is a benefit, but look at the squares of 8*8 pixels.

I think the reflection works and shows details. Even I think that 16K is way too little for this camera setup.

I hope that clears the "dull" areas of the image. Please let me know if there is anything else; I'm happy to look into it.

Cheers

Hi Dr. Sassi,

Thank you for the detailed response. I did end up figuring out a work around to my issue. First I reset the bind pose of my character into a T pose as you advised and from there I retargeted the mocap rig in the master controller settings of the character object. This gave me much more accurate results of movement and joint rotation, and I no longer have my characters' fingers crossing over.

I also went through working on testing different retargeting approaches in new scene files as not to contaminate the original project. It is interesting how certain movements can render model designs basically useless as you detailed above. I guess that's part of the process of figuring things out, trial and error like always!

Anyways, I'll let you back to your work. Thank you for the help and I'll take it from here

Hi Johnny,

I'm glad it works for you.

Perhaps leave a message below the YouTube video.

Cheers

You're very welcome, Frischvergiftung.

Thanks for the reply, smckenzie.

I assumed that it is more work. Is this a very detailed view? If so, the work might be appropriate; why not use texture and displacement?

Yes, I know the Partition Modifier, and you should have access to it, your file was a 2025 version, so I assume you have a subscription. Anyway, this will not produce Bricks; if it does, I might miss something.

Thank you very much for your feedback, smckenzie.

Explore the Remesh on top of the Volume Mesher (25% - 50%)

Enjoy your project!

(P.S.: I saw your other question, I will check in the morning [Pacific Time here})

Hi Gemini,

I do not know the project setup, so what do I look at?

There is an option in the
Main Menu> Modes> Viewport Solo (which affects the active object.

Besides that:
Can you place it on a layer and set the layer to Solo? What do you see then?

Is this helping?

If not, can you copy that object and paste it into a new file? What will be the result?

All the best

Hi _carsonjones,

I will forward this; if there is anything possible regarding Ai, I will update the thread here.

I'm not aware that any of our content is allowed in any way or form for any AI training content.

Please check with Maxon about it. This would need a C-Level approval.

Open a tech support ticket to get the needed information.

Besides, there is no PDF; the idea is to keep things updated, which is impossible with downloaded PDFs.

All the best

Hi Ondrej,

The main Take has no animation.

Creating a new [+] Take and drag all the elements into the right-sided field that you would like to have changed (animated) in a certain way. If you add animation in a Child Take, it is only in this specific Take.

A copy and paste might require RMC (right mouse click) on the parameters while the Take in question is selected (name is active - to see the content in the right field, plus, the square on the left to see it in the editor view), which this RMC the OVerwrite option is given for any grayed out parameter. Now it can be overwritten, or if it has unwanted animation, the red Dots on the parameters can be cleared for that taking.

Tip: Explore this using a simple example first. Often, learning something new and having a huge project, like your machine, doesn't provide the feeling of being able to explore (i.e., mess it up and see what happens).

Hi inspection-duty,

There are two presets in the Asset Browser. Are they working for you?

Screenshot 2024-11-16 at 9.48.29 PM.jpg

"Emitter based On Texture" and "Emitter based on Vertex Color" (Both use Vertex Color for the field in the Surface Emitter. That might be a limitation if the mesh is not producing enough Vertex points.

I have tested both with the current version, just in case.

Let me know if you have a question. I'm happy to look into it.

Enjoy your weekend

Hi beyond-secretary,

Yes, I get the same form! The download is from a YouTube Show, where no account is required (hence the form), and obviously, that is just taken for Cineversity.
Please don't read this like from a chatbot, but I am sorry that this happened! I can understand that this is annoying. I would be.

I will forward this and hope we can get this sorted out better. For now, I can ask only for some patience, as it is the weekend, and no one can help me with this right now.

My best wishes.

Hi smckenzie,

Thanks for the file.

Here is the simplest way, but if you need individual beams, Render or Multi Instances are not an option.

If you need a lot, how many, and do they move? When would a repetition be visible (Number of beams)

All the best
