ahmeds Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi, I was thinking of getting Mighty tiles pro so I went to Mighty-instruments.de and it says the company is closing. I've searched on Google and this forum for any news but I can't find any anouncements regarding this. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyderSK Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Is that even surprising ? The pricing was absurd. The only time I've seen anyone use it was Peter Guthrie's presentation in Venice 2014. To say the least, the workflow was completely absurd too. Just get the direct competitor's product, they were bit smarter...about everything. Although I can't say having 4 products is epitome of user-friendliness as well. Why is that gaming companies (Quixel, SubstanceDesigner, Epic,etc..) get it all right, but archviz focused plugins have such obfuscated weird business strategies..

ahmeds Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 You're right, their pricing was not too attractive, I was just surprised by the lack of explanation for the closure, and whether Mighty Tiles will continue in the future or not. I quite liked it when I tried it haha. Omnitiles looks fantastic though, and the only negative I can think of is by watching the Youtube videos it doesn't seem to have as nice viewport display as Mighty tiles. I guess I'll just have to give the demo a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trick Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Given the facts that a lot of work went into this plugin and the pricing was not exactly to attract a lot of customers (that could eventually be disappointed), I guess their only intention was to sell this to Autodesk .... and that probably has happened now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez EMIN Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 (edited) I contacted them a few months ago - am now Mighty glad I didn't purchase...... Edited December 21, 2015 by JezEMIN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigmonroe1 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Substance designer is a better choice anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseyworkman Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes, I also think substance designer is always a better choice. I am saying this on my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I would be very curious to see how you guys use Substance designer to do something like Mighty tiles or Omni tiles does. Not that I doubt it can be done, just I don't know the workflow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SgWRX Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 [ATTACH=CONFIG]54248[/ATTACH] hello. can a tile maker do something like the attached - a stack-bond like pattern but varying widths? yet, only 3 different widths? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgvinny Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 hey sorry for the late answer, manually, you can achieve like this, but automatically it seems a bit harder: did you have something in mind ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgWRX Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 hi thanks. i was thinking of something like this: http://www.alucobondusa.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Penn_Medicine_Washington_Square_Ballinger_Alucobond_Plus_Custom_ACM_Photography_Jeffrey_Totaro_1.jpg here it is horizontal, and it might only have 2 different widths. but i was thinking vertical and 3 different widths. right now i'm using a bitmap like the one i attached as a test. i use variations as bump, mask, reflection maps etc...

cgvinny Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 After making some tests, this may be a bit tricky (not impossible). So far I manage to get some different widths and colors, but fixed sizes is a bit more tricky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgWRX Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 looks good. yeah, then to have 3 different widths! unless that bottom one is narrower than the middle one? i'm going to stick with the bitmap approach for now, especially since i'm not close enough to the building to do actual geometry. thanks for trying though. if you get something, please post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Dauncey Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 i am very upset with mighty tile / mighty tiles pro as i bought into this pluggin a long time ago when it was called might tiles. then all of a sudden about a month after we purchased it mighty tiles sold up to a other company called mighty tiles pro and we had to purchase again this was ok it worked fine it had its quirks but it was a simple work flow when you got to know it so you can guess how annoyed i was when they sold up and now i can even us the models i have made without them all having mighty tiles pro splated across them. arrrgh.
