Miarmy 5.5 for Autodesk Maya

Artikel Animation, Artikel Basefount Technology, Artikel Crowd, Artikel Maya, Artikel Miarmy, Artikel Simulation,

[ #Maya #Crowd #Miarmy ] Basefount has announced its crowd-simulation system for Autodesk Maya - Miarmy 5.5 with adding a new intelligent instancing system for crowd agents, and support for the Redshift renderer.

Highlight features:

Clone Agents
Basefount introduced the Clone feature in this version of Miarmy. Clone is an intelligence instance. It not only the instance, but also it supports logic simulations. Clone allows users build a large number of simple crowds with intuitive method. Especially in stadium, square or terrain, we can fast deploy huge number of actors for simulation and rendering. For dealing with 200K agents in scene, we can get 20X faster in simulation and 100X faster for rendering (currently supports Arnold & V-Ray

​Direct Logic Engine Upgrade
In the new version of Miarmy, we finished the Direct Logic Engine and also expanded it to 3d space. With the new engine, we can skip most of the logic setup, and directly build most of logic with simple setup. For example if you want to your actors walk along the road, just tell them “follow the road”. Auto avoid and auto fight logic also added into the engine.

Faster Placement & Viewport
We improved the speed of viewport and the placement infrastructure and many related nodes. Now it can be 2-3 times faster than before verison for displaying the agents and clone agents.

Redshift Renderer Supports
Redshift Render is based on GPU and very popular nowadays, we added this renderer procedural support in this version so that we can render big number of agents in the scene

Minor New Features
• Expression can be execute after dynamics
• PP attribute in output language
• Pipeline scripts for auto action creation and build OA (for too many different
• Cache Agent Color
• Blendshape Copy to OA
• Relative speed input language
• Auto fight, meet/fight && front near stop

Improvements
• Depth first priority full tree in logic tree, more intuitive logic setup method
• 3 levels of LOD
• block some agents' RBD target (RBD target can ignore some agents randomly)
• (Direct Logic) Road rotation speed
• Lock name and proportions in place node (agent type can swap order)
• Arnold Opaque fix
• RBD collide debug nodes
• Arnold render catalog file
• Auto avoid (block push left/right)
• Noise id based on agent id instead of scene index

Visit Basefount's website for full list of new features in Miarmy 5.5

Availability

A node-locked licence costing $2,850 and a site licence $5,250.
The price for Rental is $1,450/quarter for a node-locked licence or $2,450/quarter for a site licence.
See the full range of options here.
Miarmy 5.5 is available for Maya 2014+ on Windows XP+, Linux and Mac OS X 10.6+..

RealTraffic Simulator For Cinema 4D

Artikel Animation, Artikel Cinema 4D, Artikel Modeling, Artikel Script,

[ #Animation #Cinema4D #Modeling #Script ] The RealTraffic Simulator plugin gives the ability to populate and animate automobiles for city and street scenes. With this plugin, realistic traffic scenes can be managed under the three vital aspect of Vehicles, Control and Road networks. The plugin was developed by the TU Dresden team and uses an Intelligent Driver Model (IDM), that simulates human-like driving behaviors. The IDM is complemented by the lane change model MOBIL (Minimizing Overall Braking Induced by Lane changes), that provides voluntary and forced lane changes where braking maneuvers are reduced to a minimum.

Features
•Vehicles

In the first release, RealTraffic provides four different types of vehicles, cars, trucks, buses and trams, which can be freely configured in size and number of axles. Additionally, any number of trailers can be added so that it is possible to easily create semi-trailers, trucks with trailers, articulated buses or multi-carriage trams. Using the free Car Rig Helper and the automatic setup function there are just a few mouse clicks from downloading the car model to the final RealTraffic vehicle. The simulation not only controls the vehicle components, i.e. chassis and wheels, but optionally also brake lights and turn signals as well as light signals from traffic lights.
•Roads

With the help of splines, lanes are generated and linked with nodes. Nodes define branches or merging lanes. This way, very complex road networks can be modeled. For creation, the functions of the plugin or the CINEMA 4D spline tools can be used. Lanes can be blocked or allowed exclusively for individual vehicles, e.g. to define the tracks for the tram or separate bus lanes.
•Control

The traffic volume for each vehicle type is defined by traffic volume objects. Any number of traffic volume objects can be used to define different volumes in different directions (e.g. rush hour on outbound lanes). The vehicles are taken from the pool you provide and automatically emitted at the starting nodes. The cars find the route to the destination nodes autonomously even if there is no direct connection. Optionally, required vehicles are automatically cloned to meet the desired traffic volume. RealTraffic can handle the traffic without collision by just using the priority ranking of crossing lanes. In addition, the nodes can act as a stop sign or traffic light. The traffic lights are controlled by special objects being able to manage any number of light signals.

UI toolkit for 3ds Max 2013 to 2017

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

[ #3dsMax #MotionGraphic ] UI Toolkit, is a serie of new 3dsmax plugins, to quickly create modern & sci fi UI and motion graphics directly in 3dsmax. With a lot of procedural parameters and ways to animate and link them together.
Features :
• 18 new geometry plugins.
• a full illustrated help file.
• Lines Grid : create grid with lines, dots and numbers.
• Circle Grid : create circle grid with lines, dots and numbers.
• Dots Grid : a grid made of different dot types (you can use symbols as dots), you can animate with a map,
• Stripe : create a stripe with substripes divisions and procedural animations.
• Stripes Circle : create a circle stripe with substripes divisions and procedural animations.
• Connections : animate lines between helpers or vertices, with texts and dots as well.
• Trail : make a mesh trail along object trajectory or following spline deformations.
• Function : animate a line with dots and animated numbers values.
• Scanner : holographic effect with projected lines on mesh.
• Dots Line : lines of dots, it has 4 different modes : line, circle, anchors, along spline.
• Dots Sphere : create a dots sphere where you can animate dots parameters with a map.
• Network + Network Dots and Network Stripes : advanced way of making grids, lines…etc with much more control over the dots transforms and aspects, the Network can be deformed in 3D.
• Numbers : animate number values.
• Polygon : create a polygon between helpers, or from a Network object, with outline and dots options.
• Symbols : animate a serie of custom symbols as if they were numbers values.
• Rays : project rays from mesh vertices to another mesh surface, with lines and dots options.
• You can use our tool EchOoo Pro with all the UI Toolkit tools to enhance it, make copies and offset their animation. If you use it with the Numbers object, you can easily create a matrix effect…etc
• You can use our tool Atom with the Network object. Because the Network is only vertices, Atom can connect them with dots and lines to make a Plexus effect.
