Danford Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Hi. I have a question about Encage. I have a project that uses the child cycling feature in EIAS 9.1 and it consists of a model that has about 900 child objects. The project file therefore contains 900 models and is about 50 MB in size. I would like to use Encage to smooth the model plus its 900 child objects all at once. Would Encage work in a project like this? or would it cause EIAS to crash because the plugin can't handle so many models? I was also wondering about EIAS v10. If the next update to the application contained Encage or something similar I guess I could wait and not buy the plugin now. Don't know what to do. My main issue is if Encage works with the model cycling feature. I f anyone has any experience on this please let me know. Thanks very much in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Ola Dan! Do you want to send me a simplified project with only the model which you are using child cycling? I can test it here for you :) About v10, Lets say we will cover this request :) Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danford Posted May 9 Author Report Share Posted May 9 Thanks for your reply Tom, that's great news about encage functionality for EIAS 10. I can't wait, although you know I've been saying I can't wait for years now. I've had to stretch the animation even longer to almost 1000 frames so almost 1000 child objects and now EIAS 9.1 is crashing on me after batch converting obj's to fact's which wasn't happening this morning. I can't send a simplified version since I need ALL models smooth when rendered. I've moved the render to Cinema 4d which is where the modeling took place and that's about all I can do. I really wanted to render in EIAS because of its nice motion blur but I just learnt also that motion blur doesn't work with child cycling so moving the render to Cinema makes total sense now. Thanks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 Ola Dan! Clear, you can batch convert the final portion to prevent the crash and merge with the first portion you did which worked, probably enabling Encage will solve the motion blur issue. Which kind of animation are you doing to need the child cycling feature? Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danford Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 it's a logo of inflated type coming together combined with a bunch of primitive shapes. A soft body dynamics animation I worked on with somebody else actually. I haven't tried doing it in EIAS but I guess it could be done if the cloth plugin could work along and interact with the Bullet system. So you're saying that enabling Encage would render motion blur on child model cycling? I might get encage just for that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Egger Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Ola Dan! Send me the simple project first, let me test it :) Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
