• Enhanced Rendering Features:
   
  
  
  • Linear Workflow and Color Profiles: Adopting a linear workflow is now as simple as activating a checkbox. Colors and lighting are mixed in a more realistic way, resulting in higher-quality images with less effort.

Niestety kto oglądał filmy z cineversity wie, że R12 nie obsługuje starszych pluginów i R11.5 oraz poprzednie wersje programu nie otworzą projektów z R12..

hehe czyli idą w stronę naszego "monopolisty" ;)

[wesol]

max2011 ma możliwość zapisu do 2010, a jak działa to nie wiem.

 

taki off topic delikatny...

ma ale to tu nie ma nic do rzeczy, tym bardziej ze ta opcja w\sie niezbyt przydaje, w polsce teraz 2009 a nie 10 chyba najczęściej spotykany jest w pracowniach arch.

[makak]

Jak na razie jestem zawiedziony tym co dodali. A przynajmniej dla mnie mało ciekawych rzeczy, poza nowościami w renderingu.

[Quentin]

makak_, ja również. Te wszystkie dynamics, mograph to takie pierdoły, z których mało co się korzysta, a oni tylko to ulepszają... :/

[makak]

Na CGTalku, też nie widzę słów zachwytu a raczej głosy rozczarowania...

[Quentin]

To już z wersji 11 na 11.5 było więcej CIEKAWYCH zmian.. ;]

[jakus]

Racja update 11-11.5 wypadł bardzo ładnie a tu trochę mało tego. Cinema chyba podąża w kierunku motion/broadcast gdzie rozwiązania mographa są teraz dość modne. Mi brakuje poprawionego MB i DOFa bo są z innej epoki, więcej funkcji do AR, lepszy SSS oraz czegoś do cząsteczek i fluidów. Liczę że bramka na Phytona przyniesie dużo fajnych pluginów.

[skocu]

Wprowadzili kilka rzeczy wartych uwagi: IES, połączenie pose mixera z morph tagiem (pose morph), przeniesienie dynamiki z MOCCA na zwykłe jointy. Pick mode pewnie się spodoba maxowcom i maykowcom. Ogólnie rewolucji nie ma w produkcie, zmiany są raczej w strategii marketingowej.
