@@AiLife115 This is just showing you how the NNcleanup node works. If you want to have finer details reconstructed you need to define a small region for it instead of trying to process the whole frame. Cheers!

@@LoveVFX I get it, thank you

@@glmstudiogh It’s not very hardware intensive/slow when you prerender the SmartVector pass and anything that does not need to be live.

@@ExacoMvm The VFB is not yet working for an image sequence in Solaris. Cheers!

@@LoveVFX Yep it seems like VFB doesn't work in Solaris at all since it reads everything from Obj/ and Out/, in that case is there alternative for OCIO and Shader debug or I simply have to build the materials in Houdini and then import to Solaris? Even tho assigning mats in Houdini is pain in the ass compared to Solaris. However in Solaris I have terrible VRay performance, the initialization is far longer than normal VRay, RAM usage is crazy also no matter what I do the rendering is slow, full of hotpixels/fireflies and there's no way to clean it. Can't tell if I did setup something wrong or it's limitation/bug. Bucket rendering also seems to be not an option.

@@ExacoMvm I am sorry to hear that, unfortunately I can’t help you with all of that but you should write a mail to Chaosgroup. I hope you get it sorted out! Cheers!

@@LoveVFX Apparently VFB works only in USD Render ROP ( Save to disk ) and is experimental which also needs a bit of extra configuration in the rendersettings output and USD ROP so it's a bit disappointing but hopefully it will get implemented properly soon. And about the performance issue I think the reason was that I did setup the Dome Light / HDRI wrong, used the environment tab and disabled the vray dome light itself also in general probs messed up the settings a bit as I was unable to get clean image despite setting everything to extreme values like 128 max subdivs, noise thr. 0.0001 etc.

Hi Jiluen, I am glad you like the video. Yes, at the moment I am using an old fashion linear workflow (no ACES) but that will change in the future. I am planning to learn more about (ACES, V-Ray & Solaris) so I can share that knowledge with my viewers. But that will be some time next year. You can use the V-Ray framebuffer in solaris too but it is not 100% integrated yet. Cheers!

Hi MarcelloPC, yes I do know that: You can activate deep rendering in the settings node. Cheers! :)

Hi Louis, I hope I can help you since I experienced the same error. 1. Make sure you are not rendering into your dropbox.(It kooks like, the constant streaming to the cloud messes with the writing of the exr file) 2. Don’t use any scattered assets with displacement (I had displacement on trees which always gave the error code you wrote about). 3. Although it is technically possible now to use material X with V-Ray, I just had problems with it.(I would not recommend it). 4. Try to optimize your scene and render settings (Use as low of a polygon count in your scene as possible, adjust your render settings so it just gives you the render quality you need and not more (otherwise your renderings can take much longer than necessary). I hope that helps! Cheers!

@@LoveVFX Hi ! thanks a lot for the reponse so yes I do all this think but when I open the houdini console they told me "No cameras found in the USD file" I'll find out why, thanks for your help and look forward to more Solaris Vray videos it was really really helpfull :)

@@LouisVelainevfx You need to have a native Solaris camera in the scene to get rid of that error message I suppose. If you need to use a object level camera just link the transform data from the object level to the Solaris stage camera and match the camera settings to get the same framing. Cheers!

It’s my pleasure! :)

That is already in production ;-)

Unfortunately I can’t help you with that.

@@LoveVFX ooh it's okay can you suggest any other hair and fur simulation faster and good than xgen please

Houdini!!!

@@LoveVFX ok thankyou so much i am your new subscriber....

There is a deep render option in the karma render settings. I would recommend to render uncompressed deep (compressed deep never worked for me in Nuke). Cheers!

But I would also recommend using V-Ray for Houdini instead of using Karma. I believe it to be better for compositing (V-Ray).

thanks for your advice!@@LoveVFX

Thank you!

Hi there, that feature might come in the future.

Thank you!

Probably a few months in between many other shots.

@@LoveVFX Jeez… so if this was a part of a film, as a compositor, your job would be to just integrate everything together but all the modeling and texturing of the cg parts like the waterfalls and houses would be done by other people. So before starting a shot you’re given the renders and just compile it seamlessly into a shot?

@@Swiftyyy-zz6hlsjs In a VFX Studio you work with a team of artists and iterate versions of shots until the client is happy with the result within the available time.

@@LoveVFX Sounds fun I’m looking to get into vfx and compositing but i’m still in high school right now. Any advice you have? Is it better to major in something like animation at university or digital arts or filmmaking?

@@Swiftyyy-zz6hlsjs (In my view): you can save yourself a lot of money by learning from experience instead of going to film school. The web (especially KZbin) has more information than you can imagine. Get an affordable camera, start recording your own plates and hdrs, learn blender, get nuke non commercial and start learning composting. That is what I would do if I would start over again. Cheers!

Why do people not say hello, please and thank you anymore? :-/

Hi there, if you render with (only nuke/no plugin) it is the same as usual but if you use the smartRender tool from cragl it can render faster then usual in many cases. That depends on the size of your script and the power of your PC. Cheers!

Hi Marsel, I have been working in vfx for a long time now and yes, working at Scanline VFX allowed me to work on the biggest shows I have ever worked on. But to work in such a big studio (I think) you have to become an artist that can be of good help in such a big team. Even if you are one of many many artists you have to keep on learning (always) ask for feedback and work on youself, trying to improve your output in every way. Cheers!

@@LoveVFX Thanks for the reply, How did you end up getting the opportunity to work there? I mean for me it’s really a dream to create shots for these big films. How did you go about getting hired there? Best

It was a combination of over a decade of experience in compositing & vfx, luck (the right time), grit and a good connection to the right people. If you have enough experience and a good showreel you might get the opportunity sometime this year! When the feature film productions ramp up again, the big pool of good artists will be empty very fast. That will be the right time to apply for a job at a big vfx studio.

@@LoveVFX That’s great to here! Im a sophomore in college and Im studying 3D animation and when I graduate I hope to make the transition from school to work as swiftly as possible. Most the knowledge I have on compositing I learned by myself online which is how I found your videos. I’m just curious to what the work environment is like as a compositor. Are you free to work on shots at your own pace from home? Is the salary you earn based on how many shots you complete or is it hours and how much typically do compositors and senior compositors like yourself even make? The potential in the industry sparks a a lot of interest and how much room there is to progress and grow and hit higher numbers. Best,

@@marsel8564 I wish you all the best for your future career and I am sure you’ll get many opportunities to grow as an artist. You can find examples about what amount of money digital artists make online. Cheers!

I think it does. (Not 100% sure about that) It does work with 19.5 and later versions.

Hi there, I would always run Nuke on the fastest PC and since (I think) you need to run UE and Nuke on the same PC for this workflow I would recommend you to use the strongest system you have. Cheers!

Hi there, you need to convert your geos into usd files so you can scatter them in Solaris. I am explaining how to do that in the video, but there are also other videos on KZbin that explain how to do that. Cheers!

@@LoveVFX thanks for your feedback, but I converted them to USD but when rendering with karma the texture of the tree look weird and the leaves ain't visible

@@Realworld893 I am sorry that you are having problems with your scene. It looks like you are not applying the shaders to your USD assets the right way. You should watch other houdini tutorials that cover that topic. Cheers!
