Anyone looking in to Clarisse?

Yeah - the principle is good and the technology is very impressive, it’s not there yet though.

Principle as in what? Have not done any real eval yet. The idea of having a single application do it all is contrary to the specialization needed for us in many areas. How is colaboration handled? Or is it targeted at “One Man shows” ?

But that one piece of software better be pretty dang robust. -Alan

It’s tough enough to get stellar in either texture painting, lighting/shading, comp etc. let alone in all? Maybe i just don’t get it.

artists I got the impression it’s not that fragmented - like you’d still do you modeling, texturing, animation in other packages - but this is a large scale management & organization tool which covers from katana to final comp.

Then still. Katana is LookDev and Lighting/Shading/Rendering no? Add that plus comp? Probably depends on the type of projects being done if that’s feasible. Might have to give it a shot. There is VERY good comp competition tho. Regards, Thorsten

Katana is very technical; it took us a good while to wrap our heads around it, and we are programmers :slight_smile: Clarisse on the other hand is much more artist-friendly, so that’s a big plus. Katana might be more powerful though, even if it’s not quite as interactive. Best regards, Vlado

No scripting…over and out for me :frowning:

Yeah clarisse is kind of a big scene builder and renderer. Handles tonnes of assets so I can see it being useful for matte painters or huge environment shots. Vray has much finer material and lighting control and quality but as thorsten said it’d be very handy for a one man setup due to the ridiculously quick render times. The quality isn’t as good as vray but if “good enough” is good enough for a job then you don’t need to look at render farms any more. Katana still confuses the hell out of me.
