What node is that u use for compositing, is it called "Plus"? can't fin it in Arnold

Do you know how to mix two materialX surfaceshaders?

Thank you. Following your videos, I managed to import and render the USD Kitchen in Maya/Arnold

What's wrong with your mic? Can hardly hear you.

Hello, I am a student who has recently been learning about usd workflow. Even if you use the usd workflow in maya and substance painter, is it absolutely necessary to manually connect the texture to the material at least once? (hypershade) I'm getting stressed about connecting a large number of textures.

Nice tutorial! Thank you so much!!! For Maya 2025.1 the node "get_geo_property" is not working for me, instead I used the node "get_geo_property_or_default" node and change the parameters accordingly the video.

sorry didnt continue with the video. volume too low.

Great tutorial! Thank you Christoph!

there no usd stage in outliner

Thanks to take time to create LookDev content!

Thanks for the vid. We add 2 Aces LUTs on top, as we need all of the exr passes for retouching. We build the V-Ray back to beauty. Still mad that Photoshop doesn't support Aces/layered exrs natively.

My bifrost folder is @ C:\Users\mihir\Autodesk\Bifrost. Yours is C:Autodesk/Bifrost. do I modify the line? to work? thanks

Hello! Is it even possible to load all of that island stuff, not some parts of a scene by mask? I was really curious to dive in such a scene to figure out some interesting stuff from the work of professionals but it turned out i got more questions now like how do they work with all that if it can not be displayed even with usd

Thank you for this.. Very helpful..

Hi ! How do you combine the fractal noise field and a mask ?

Уже с самого начала, не показано что нажимает, чтобы вылезло recent. То есть это не тутор, а вообще неронятно, что.

Good one bro

May I ask...how to import multiple poly in one object to Bifrost？ Ex:Your flower is one object for Bifrost instance，but it also have 5 polys. Originally I thought I should import 'flower.ass' to Biforst, then I realize I misunderstand your workflow

Procedural delete_face would be great.

This is neat, but there's already a pre-built tool in the viewer for that. Go to Windows (of the Arnold viewer, not Maya) > Toolbar Icons and turn on Debud Shading. A new menu will appear on top next to the camera and AOV one and there you can choose Lighting and it's basically this kind of preview. There's also many other useful modes there, Basic for example is very useful for checking bumps and displacements. The downside of Lighting mode is that it won't show SSS, in that case you would indeed need this kind of setup.

Please post more

This is insane 🤧

Used to do this with Soup group node for extruding and bevelling.

how do u do that the object so close to each other but not overlap each other? i used distance based option and used the normal number but it seems like effect only for the cubes

thank you i really needed this

And how do you finally join the body with the arm?

Bro how to get vdb plugin

Amazing tutorial, but where we can find sample scene?Also i dont know why but my sample point_position node became orange and when i plug into the output red.

Like medicine 🙏thank you!

Thanks, this helped a lot! :)

What is better RTX 4090 or RTX A5000, A6000 for rendering 3D/CAD?

Hi,How did get RGB color on xGen Interactive hair ?

oh it's so hard to change ver...

That is great. Thank you so much for explaining the connection. I suppose once its inside Bifrost, it can interact with all kind of particles/cloth/strands? Thanks for your very helpful tutorials 🎉

Really nice. There is a reason Bullet is still popular up to this day ! ;D

I don't understand why big companies can't train AI to do intelligent retopo. It's like an old algorithm like Zremesh, which was preceded by the free Meshlab and still can't solve more complex surfaces, let alone a stronger optimization where all the algorithms are "upside-down" and can't match human knowledge.

There should be a density map creation possibility as well.

Awesome tip for nicer playblasts!

You gotta be careful with AutoRetop, especially in ZBrush. Some things are just better done by hand, even if they take a long time. Learned that lesson the hard way while at Sheridan.

It doesn't seem to work for me. I set up the eyebrows according to the tutorial and pressed Build, but it stops at 35%. You can interact with it but it's not complete. The joints are binded to the geometry but they're not attached to the controls.

Mesh to volume is basically a Voxel/Dynamesh operation. I assume u can also do a Difference operation.

woha, is it auto unwrapping the new mesh?

these green tubes need to have uvs ?

RTX+CPU render (with CUDA) uses rtx mode of gpu or is not possibile with CUDA but only with RTX v-ray mode (that does not use CPU? Thanks

Great stuff!

CPU render uses molti o single core? Thanks

So CUDA is GPU+CPU render and it is faster but noiser than RTX than CPU (more accurate)? So the best PC it'd be with a threadripper and a RTX 4090 or is better only 4090 and processor is not so important? Thanks.

Thank you for this good advice. I found that any retopo tool creates spiral loops or however they are called. But this is a sort of a solution

Hi Mudoglu. You can duplicate the original that way: 1. Navigate to the guide tab in the interactive groom editor. 2. Input Guide --> Make Guides Dynamic. 3. Attach ON, snap ON, exact shape match ON, delete orig ON. 4. A new hair system gets created. Select the output curves grp and unhide (incl shapes). 5. Delete all other hair system nodes (nucles, hair system, follicles). The output curves now match exactly your original guides. From here on you could apply them as new guides to another description.

A particularly great example!
