  1. Been interested in getting one too, anybody here using it for 3d? How's the learning curve for that? Stumbled upon this too, for those with hacker tendencies.... http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/16/homegrown-wacom-cintiq-lcd-tablet-comes-to-life-through-prefab-d/
  2. Hi Dave, I think this is the culprit. I haven't done netrendering in a while (like, 3dsmax7.5 era), but here's what i was doing last time: 1. if your textures are located locally, they have to be in a shared folder and from my humble experience, you can't share the desktop. Textures are like x-refs (if you're like me, started with autocad), so you have to take the point of view of the slave machine: Can i see the textures of the job given? So if the job points to textures located on the desktop, it won't find it (unless you copied your textures into the slave's desktop, which is redundant work). I'm not a script guy myself, so i never messed with the ini file, but what i do with the job is that when i choose a texture i search for it through the network, even though it's located locally. i.e. the path starts: //davescomputer/...That way, it kinda assures me that the path can be found (on the network) and when you send it to the slave it points back to your local textures folder. 2. If your local max machine has plugins, i believe that these should be installed on the slave as well. This one, i'm not too sure though. But one thing that bugged me all the time, and never really figured out is that why some pc's on the LAN start to disappear and reappear sporadically. Our LAN guy blamed it on XP, maybe it was a hub issue, but is irritating cos slaves disappear every now and then. Hope your job turns out well. Update us on how you solved it too.
  3. Frame is an interesting magazine. Though it's mostly retail interiors, it can be inspirational in doing 3d work, for me i guess. My office used to subscribe, now I just browse in stores (ssshhh). Once in a while I buy 3d world, architectural record, d+a(singapore), blueprint(HK), depending on content. I dunno why but i find IDN(HK) inspirational, although its a graphic design/multimedia magazine.
  4. Is it this one? http://discussion.autodesk.com/thread.jspa?threadID=408450
  5. Thanks so much for sharing, Claudio.
  6. On a serious note, does this vray plugin work on sketchup free? or only the pro version?
  7. was wondering if anybody noticed what bjornkn said "What makes SU, the Cheetah..." sketchup is not cheetah: http://www.cheetah3d.com/
  8. That was really awesome! Congrats! I'd like to know, if it's ok, did you do the post production/editing over the music or did you use a customisable soundtrack(e.g. cinescore, sonicfire), or both? Just curious 'coz it seems like hard editing work if you follow a fixed soundtrack, and almost impossible to do (from what i imagine) to start without one. cheers!
  9. i was duped into that one too..... that was quite some time ago. like a few months back.... it was around the time i was trying to check when our dongle would come. .....another sucker here.....
  10. I find the animation a tad too long, but yeah, I know your purpose is to show the details. Beautiful man, just beautiful. May I know how long was production time? And how many pc's rendered this?
  11. I find the train a bit odd as well. Particularly that very flat horizon in front of it. ... But I love the overall render, almost like an infrared photo.
  12. Use the spacing tool. Under tools.
  13. Or the classic tutorial from the resources page: http://www.cgarchitect.com/resources/tutorials/smoke3d/tutorial11.asp you didnt mention what version you're using (sorry, I'm kinda stuck in 7.5 for a long while)
  14. This looks interesting. David, may I know what made you think of relocating out of australia? Good luck, Dagor.
