V-Ray 3.6 for 3ds Max 2008 - 2018

Artikel 3ds Max, Artikel Chaos Group, Artikel Rendering, Artikel V-Ray,

[ #Vray ]Chaos Group releases V-Ray 3.6 for 3ds Max, an update to its leading renderer that introduces new hybrid rendering technology, improved compositing output, and compatibility with Autodesk 3ds Max 2018.

V-Ray’s new hybrid rendering technology adds CPU support to its NVIDIA CUDA-powered GPU renderer. Now, with V-Ray Hybrid artists will have greater flexibility to render a scene using GPUs, CPUs or a combination of both. The rendered images will be identical, regardless of hardware. This allows artists to use any and all hardware, from high-powered GPU workstations to CPU render nodes.

“GPU rendering is on the rise, and V-Ray Hybrid solves two important issues that could make it even more popular,” said Vlado Koylazov, Chaos Group co-founder. “It lets artists use all of their existing hardware, and it gives them a fallback solution if they run into GPU RAM limitations. This makes GPU rendering a more practical solution for a much wider audience.”

For more information on V-Ray Hybrid, please visit the Understanding V-Ray Hybrid rendering In 3dsMax.

Other Features Include:

Full Light Select Render Element – Render individual lights or groups of lights as separate render elements, with full support for global illumination, reflections and refractions for accurate light mixing in post.

Cryptomatte – Automatically generate ID mattes with support for transparency, depth of field and motion blur. This will speed up workflows for compositors working in NUKE or Fusion.

NVIDIA NVLink – Supports shared GPU memory across NVLink compatible graphics cards.

Pricing/Availability

V-Ray 3.6 for 3ds Max is a free update for all V-Ray 3.x customers. Login at chaosgroup.com to download. For full pricing information, please visit the V-Ray for 3ds Max product page.

Artikel 3ds Max, Artikel 3ds Max Script, Artikel Animation, Artikel Modeling, Artikel Motion Graphic,

[ #3dsMax #Animation ]SplineDynamics.com has released TurboSplines. A new commercial script for 3ds Max that lets you create stunning spline wrapping animations in no time. This tool automatically assigns Path Deform modifiers to preset or custom meshes and helps you quickly produce many spline-driven animations, which you can easily control from a friendly interface. Make growing splines, animated cables, wires, ropes, ribbons, moving tentacles, branches, worms, etc.

CG Animators and Motion Graphers will love it!

Highlight features:
• Create, edit and animate multiple spline wrapped meshes with just a few clicks. (Automatic “Path Deform” modifiers creation/edition/animation)
• Choose between predefined mesh types (cylinder, capsule, box, ribbon) or use your custom profile shapes or meshes.
• Can handle many meshes per path simultaneously.
• Assigns mesh references to all the paths, keeping the bound with the original object.
• Additional features to enrich meshes’ final aspect and expand animation possibilities: Taper, Tip, Slice start/end.
• Animate all parameters (radius, scale, height, segmentation, path percent, rotation, twist, stretch) from a simple and intuitive interface.
• Copy and paste parameters between meshes
• Apply variation and offset to your animations to add realism.
• 3 types of animation along path: move, grow, reveal.
• Convert your renderable splines into animatable path deformed meshes with a single click.
• Additional tool: convert any spline into a custom helical path to make growing springs and spiral cables.

Artikel 3ds Max, Artikel 3ds Max Script, Artikel Download, Artikel Modeling, Artikel Retopology Tools,

[ #3dsMax #Modeling ]Jerome Ledrole has shared XRemesher v1.0 is a custom tool to retopologize meshes inside 3ds Max in a fast and straightforward way. The toolkit makes use of the Instant Meshes Library. XRemesher is capable of remeshing complex and heavy meshes in a short amount of time.

With this tool, you have the choice to remesh your object as Tris or Quads meshes. You can define the desired "vertex count", "face count" or "edge length" for the remeshed object. It also includes a final "clean pass" to get rid of bad topological meshes.
Two remeshing process are available :
- the first one is a batch process where you use the command line mode of Instant meshes (Quick remesh, less options....)
- next one where you send and open the mesh inside Instant Meshes... that way you can better tweak the final result by using the orientation & position brush (tweak edges loops for quads output ie)
