I will try this technique soon. I hope in the next future a develop plugin for EIAS like http://www.itoosoft.com/

Hi need to realize some ancient Roman houses animations with large landscape, with mountains, many many trees. The animations starts from man height to aerial view. I can't use 2 simple cross planes with tree texture and alpha, because from aerial view, the trees are no realistics and are very flat. I think to use Placer Deposit plugin but it cause a scene with many polygons and long time render with GI and Photons. Any alternative idea? Vue integration need for future upgrade...

Agree...

very interesting... http://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/

This is the my last works, all done with EIAS. Simple Camera Map for all scene, all chains poses with only morph targets. Global Illumination+photon map+HDRI. All EIAS projects with over 2500000 of polygons. Over 500Mb texture maps with 2-3 channels and multilevel. 8 slaves Camera render on MacPro 8 core 2,8Ghz with 16Gb Ram Frame time render: 2 to 4 min (depends of the view, reflections, etc.) http://www.vgd.it/scambio/rud/files/Centrax.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/rud/files/Hybrid.mp4 My goal was to use dynamics, but I don't had time to try Cloth with Rodeo. I will share my project if any other user can help me to add more realistic dynamic features.

Hi Tomas, I will try Instancer channel control with XP. I'll watch the tutorial....and thank for your compliments! if I need you help me with XP and Rodeo+Simcloth?

I have try instancer, this is powerfull but not permit to control individually objects instanced. I chose to do with bones and morph target, this is not right way and no fast setup but permit to control any object individually. Next I save FACT files for any morph position and open it in new animation project. The result are "rigid", but morphing setup are very simple and fast. http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_arrivo.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_bagagli.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_appoggio.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_blocco.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_serraggio.mp4 http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/Bmw_partenza.mp4 The second chain are very difficult to setup and animate. I attach two picture for explain. This chain are very very soft. How can I simulate the softness of this chain and fabric together? I tried to use Rodeo and Simcloth together but the result was bad. Can anyone help me solve the problem? Would be sufficient to have soft morph targets to animate smootly. http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/hybrid_chain1.jpg http://www.vgd.it/scambio/eias/hybrid_chain2.jpg

Is possible instancing objects and control individually any object instaced? I have to simulate a chain snow tire and is difficult to check all links in the chain or used for rodeo dynamics. I used the morph target, but the result is not satisfactory, the movement is too stiff and unnatural. I also simulate a steel cable without plugins. I can post some pictures and the EIAS project if anyone can help me. I urgent need to solve the problem. Any suggestions?

Many thanks at all!! For Mark: very interessant Your web TV idea...dedicated TV channel For FelixCat: some rugs insert with photoshop, others in 3D diplacement or simply flat plane with texture and bump.

My new web site http://www.vgd.it/ All animation made with EIAS. Some images with EIAS, other with FormZ. Soon I post other EIAS animation and images. Future plan: EIAS section with material and objects database for all users...
