Motiva . Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Everyone loves VR visualizations, but unfortunately, they have some major drawbacks: they need high-end devices and creating this kind of project is difficult and costly and after all, you still probably won't get the same quality. In brief, real-time is expensive and not portable at all, that's why lots of people still use old fashioned 360 tours, they are cheap, lightweight and they retain the maximum quality you can achieve. Motiva Layama closes that gap between 360s and VR by transforming your 3d projects into a pseudo-VR webpage, it keeps all the advantages of the 360s but includes a much natural navigation system, camera movements, in addition to this the creation of this projects is even much faster and easier than making that 360s. Layama is not only a substitute to VR in some cases exporting your existing scenes from 3dsmax (Blender and C4D to come) but also a complement to your VR services since you can export your existing Unreal projects into Layama too.

Jose Negrete Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I was just looking at this earlier in the week. Are the connections between panoramas created automatically or is that a manual process after the renderings are complete? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupertgrint Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 I find it to be great, only if you can make it a bit faster so that it runs smoothly on low configuration ddevices. Software Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a complete set of video tutorials on the web page, all is made automatically. I find it to be great, only if you can make it a bit faster so that it runs smoothly on low configuration ddevices. It works even in very low end mobile devices, so it literally works everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sketchrender Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Is my memory wrong or what this jot the software that was "Borrowed" off another guy who was developing it? They brought him in and asked all about it then they developed there own on his work? Correct me if I am wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motiva . Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 I have absolutely no idea what are you speaking about O_o I coded all from scratch but the 3dsmax scripts that were made by my colleague Alejandro. As I said you have to mislead this with another project and it could be nice that you clarify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said we have no contact with other companies making something like this, also I get the idea in one conference I assisted as a speaker, also Jeff Mottle (CGArchitect CEO), after earing all the inconvenience that people had translating their 3d projects to Unreal, so people was still using old 360s.

Sketchrender Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Can I ask a unrelated question. Did you guys write DATASMITH? If you did, I'll get my coat and leave. That has changed the way business is in the CG world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motiva . Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Yes, I was the coder of MUS (Motiva Unreal Scene) that was rebranded as Project Nile when Epic Games acquired it and rebranded again to Datasmith when it was released as open beta. Btw I had one idea maybe you have heard that story long time ago (about 10 years ago?) if so that's true, but we were the "other guys" the guys that were called for some meetings and the company that did that is a much bigger one than us (and no, it is not Autodesk, they are really nice people).

Sketchrender Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Thank you , I have been in the business a long time ,and always thought you got shafted, and was completely unfair. That's the reason I brought it up. Your talking to some who used Bryce and Strata 3D 26 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francisco Penaloza Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 We been using this plugin and it works great for us, good job. Now it would be very useful if in some way this could be viewed on devices such Oculus GO. I read some place else that your guys didn't like that idea because of the possible nausea effect that the teleportation would create and I totally understand, but fading to black and showing the new image works very well wen I do something similar in Unreal. BTW if you could link the camera rotation to the gyroscope of the cellphone/tablet it would be great. We create many panoramas with Unreal and other apps and clients really like the effect to move around the tablet to look in to the scene. Best luck.

Motiva . Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yes, we don't like that idea but some people have asked for it so definitely we'll support it in the future, gyroscope support will be added soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George e Chianese Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I am really disappointed with this software. Are you sure it works with vrayphysical cameras? I have an unanswered support ticket for an interior scene that did not work. I just tried another scene of a simple tradeshow booth. Had to cancel as it was taking forever to render on a 24 core server. The views shown also seemed to be very far away from where the cameras were actually placed. Has anyone used this with vray5 physical cameras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motiva . Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 Hello George, my colleague Alejandro asked you for the scene but since you open two at the same time I think that he replied to the other one. We are still trying to figure why it happens you your scene, and how to make a workaround for that, notice that it has nothing to do with Layama itself, if you place a cubic V-Ray 5 Camera on your scene it renders wrong, even without any Layama intervention. Also if you try to make a new layama project in a scene made from scratch with V-Ray 5 it works perfectly so there is something in your scene what we didn't identify yet that is "breaking" V-Ray 5, once we find it we'll try to make a workaround and also we'll get in contact with ChaosGroup to solve it. Regards, Víctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George e Chianese Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Thanks Victor. Are the camera's supposed to be set to cubic before running Layama plugin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Layama creates its own V-Ray cube camera, the problem is that in your scene even if you create a new V-Ray cubic camera it doesn't render properly, we'll try testing per object to check if a geometry/material is causing this issue in V-Ray 5.

No, you can use any camera, Layama will take care of it by itself, anyway notice that if you want to be sure to get proper support you should use the ticket system https://www.motivacg.com/supporttickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
