Ola my friend Felix, You will be able to choose How many cores you want per Camera 9, so, you will be able to choose if you want Camera 9 pushing all cores or use Multiple Cameras 9 with Rama in the same machine. We have the best of both worlds. I can't share release dates yet, but we are in the schedule. The new features are in the desk now. ;) Thanks Tom

Ola DaveW, I forgot, what's HyperDeeper? The name is not strange! Thanks Tom

Ola Alex, Reelmotion doesn't exist more because the developer sold the engine to a game company. :( I love reelmotion.. ;) Thanks Tom

Ola DaveW, Could you do a simple proj and a short step by step How you solved with Contortionist? Thanks Tom

Ola DaveW, Im one of Reelmotion’s FAN, I have a G4 machine to run it with EIAS 2.9 :) About custom frames, its simple, select your Animated Effectors: 1) Double click in each effector (project window / Xform tab), change position key from Implicit to Explicit. 2) in the project window with all Effectors selected (which came from Reelmotion) go to menu bar / Animation / Fit Selected objects to curve - Maximum Fit DIstance = 0.001. Now you can drag around your animations in the timeline. This will force all curves be baked in Keyframes in the best shape similar with your original animation with one keyframe per frame, if you use Maximum Fit Distance like 1.0, you will have only a few keyframes. Hope this help Thanks Tom

Ola Bill, Yeap, its really good see you finding the solution! We never stop to learn with EIAS. Thanks Tom

Ola Scott, Everything is the same, only a new splash screen with our new logo. You don't need to change it, if you want. Thanks Tom

Ola Scott, It works perfectly on my Mac intel Pro with 8 cores and OSX 10.6.4 Btw: the EIAS 8 with new splash screen is here: http://www.eias3d.com/downloads/ Thanks Tom

Ola Bill, Im sorry, I lost this thread last night, I probably clicked on it, but after some distraction, I didnt finish it. Is it working for you now? Any problem, feel free to message me. Thanks Tom

Ola Phungus, Im having the “Invalid Time Values” error, I will take a look with Igors, maybe Zbrush changed a bit the MDD file format or have some trick to export, time to research. Phungus, When I convert the “SPhere”, it asks a Texture, Zball.bmp, Could you send to me? And What it happens in the animation? some increase of displacement over time? I need to take a look. Thanks Tom

Ola Phungus, Could you export the OBJ from ZB4 in the sub-d zero and the MDD file? And post it? Thanks Tom

Ola Phungus, How are you converting the model? Thanks Tom

Ola my friend, Try to contact Gars directly: garsp@tripledtools.com Thanks Tom

Ola Phungus, Are you export OBJ from first Zbrush frame? and MDD too? Is it a single group or several? Thanks Tom

Ola Paul P, Only to let you know, I have a G5 which I installed EIAS 8 with OSX 10.5.8, worked really fine. But its not the same when you have a Mac Intel, :) Thanks Tom

Ola Joe, Your work was just posted.. :) Thanks Tom

Ola Joe, Please, follow this thread: http://www.eias3d.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=74 Thanks Tom

Ola Luca, Take a look in the EIAS render farm, you need to contact Bert. http://www.silverbullet3d.com/main.html Thanks Tom

Ola, I cant share, but Its really interesting the new Camera 9 which run all cores (I have 8 cores here) in the same time. :) Thanks Tom

Ola, Its always interesting to see research. Thanks Tom

Ola Luca, 40min / 60 min per frame? Play with these settings: 1) GI window: Primary rays - 200 Color Tolerance: 2.0 2) Area Light Tab Primary rays - 200 (if you need more shadow quality, you can use 300) Secondary rays - 0 (only if you need you can use 50) 3) Photon Map Tab: Lookup Radii GI - 4.0 Direct - 5.0 Bounced 6.0 4) database window - 10.0 (double value of direct) 5) please, you these settins on all area lights which have Permanent photons enabled. 6) Luca, don't forget to use multiple render slaves if you have a multiple core machine. Luca, this will give you a fast baked map with quality, if you need more shadows quality and less "blotches" in the shading, increase GI window primary rays to 300 and increase Area Light tab primary rays to 300 too. Any prb, collect your scene and upload in our FTP, I'm out of town, I can take a look on Monday. Thanks a lot Tom

Ola Mickael, I like too, since we re-designed the butterfly on our new logo, I will like to use the slogan.. ;) Thanks Tom

Ola Brian, Let me ask Igors. Thanks Tom

Ola Luca, Please, post a screen grab from your Area light tab, photons tab and GI window. It's better to see what's happening. Which time are you having now per frame? Thanksss Tom

Ola Ross, Soo beautiful!!! Terrific.. Thanks Tom
