Ornatrix & Vray & CAT test

[Pixelperfectg]

It's not much, but here's a cluster of plugin's test..lol. Please don't bite my head off for not putting a pre-loader in this flash animation....I'm just learning flash and haven't figure out how to do that yet. So be patient while it loads the frames. Once they are loaded it will walk smoothly.

It looks good except for that dark border around the top of the hair. IS this from the Alpha or was it in the original render? Maybe a rim/ side hair light would help.

I'm pretty sure that's from the alpha. I rendered it with a black environment (bad mistake i know but hey, it was only a test).

I love the hair movement is great! How does it react to more violent movements? Would love to see more tests from you

[Pixelperfectg]

Hmmmm, sounds fun! I'll make a more violent version tonight to see what happens.

[egz]

Looking forward to it

awesome stuff....cant wait for the next one

[Pixelperfectg]

Here's an updated version (still learning the preloader bit...sorry). I'll continue to add hair to this beast and see what happens.

very nice!!

[egz]

That's great! Must find some time to try Ornatrix! I need to renders some short clumps of fur on a character next week, this looks like it will be perfect. How stable is it at the moment?

I have Shag:Hair, but any chance to play with new toys is always welcome

[Pixelperfectg]

It's actually pretty stable for me right now. I Had some problems in the beginning with dual processor support (I think). But now, it's really coming along nicely (hat's off to Marcel for his hard work).

[egz]

Has the dual stability been fixed only in the max6 build? I'm on a dual, but still using max5 here.

Have you testet the OrnaGeo feature with VRay?

[Pixelperfectg]

Yes, the dual CPU issues I had seem to have been fixed a couple of builds back(I'm running a dual xeon system myself). I just downloaded the new update tonight and haven't had time to test the OrnaGeo feature yet...but it does look very promising.

Looks like it works great for a head of hair, but I was trying to put fur on a zebra I am working on and I kept running out of memory
