Here's the test that made me think 50% worked well... but it was just one test. http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=44540&p=382581 (post 3)

Are you referring to the "Average Normals " that is a Surface property? Are we sure that is really the same as Porcelain? In any event, i recall that 50% got me the smoothest result. 0% and 100% are opposites of each other , but least smooth.

If I were investigating it deeply I'd run the tests in some previous version just to eliminate the possibility that something has gotten out of whack since the features were introduced. Also... when you did "Average Normals," did you set Normal Weight to some value? i seem to recall 50% was the smoothest.

Looks like this deal has collapsed already and DWA Stock is down 16% today.

What have you done so far that hasn't worked?

It's attractive to the major Dreamworks stockholders who bought in at around $40 thinking it would go to $80 and instead it's gone as low as $20.

I'm not sure I understand. If it will only have a plugin for certain apps then it wont' be useful as a new motion format.

Perhaps if it does become opensource, A:M can incorporate it as an image file format plugin much as it does for the formats it now accommodates.

Dione is one of Saturn's many unusual moons. It always presents the same face in its forward direction leaving one side light and the other side dark. You can examine this result from any angle if you make your own Dione model! Download the rectangular projection of Dione's surface that was recently featured at Astronomy Picture of the Day... http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap141107.html Then apply it to a sphere to make you own model of Dione. Choose either "cylindrical" or "spherical" application and compare the visible result. I suspect spherical will be the most correct one. Unfortunately it is not an elevation map so you can't make actual mountains and craters with it but it is fun to try if you haven't done much yet with decal application methods.

I'd be curious to repeat that render and see if the same frames do it again.

That is a very impressive result! I like that dragon.

Yes, although we don't catch everything

Thanks to Jason1025 for noticing it!

www is one of the odd cases where the abbreviation has more syllables to say than what it's trying to abbreviate.

"Bake Dynamic Systems" appears to be fixed in the upcoming v18h. My brief test shows it correctly creating keys for the duration of the animation.

Wow. My cat would be on that in a second and stay the whole winter.

Personally, I'm against all the suffixes. It just forces you to register and keep paying for near-duplicates of your URL to stop someone else from impersonating you with a .info instead of a .com or a .org They seem to have fixed the web so that you don't need to put in http:// or www anymore. They shoudl fix it so you don't need the suffixes either. I like .com because usually when I see it i see .corn and that tells me I need to clean my glasses.

yes, you can run v16 and any version that runs on the license scheme (non-CD). After you install v18 and get its new license running, copy the master0.lic file from your v18 folder to your v16 folder and that will enable v16.

I like that variation.

I suggest submitting just the original seat board and noting that the plugin crashes on it. It may not be possible for the plugin to solve the internal patches but a more graceful exit would be preferable.

EDIT: I see Rodney beat me to it!... Yup, I suspect Rodney is on the right track. The internal patches probably create an unsolvable dilemma for the plugin, since there is no way to flip them to agree with their neighbors. Most of those internal patches could be avoided without any increase in mesh density by proper extrusion workflow. They are not always a problem but by process of elimination it seems to be the board that makes the seat that IS a problem. If I remake it like this by adding two center splines all the internal patches are eliminated and the plugin survives. It also reports "Nothing to do!" but at least it doesn't crash. kitchen chair seat.mdl
