VFX Artist features Arnold 6 update using software Autodesk Maya 2020 | ep

[@isaccozhang714]

Just wanna say Hi! and thank you for all your tutorials and streams! edit: nice 2 x Quadro RTX 8000 xD

[@arvidurs]

Thanks! Appreciate it! and yes. I know :D

[@BenniK88]

That was fast, even the Autodesk update Sheet is only 4 hours old 🔥🔥🔥 Love it

[@arvidurs]

I had some prep time ;)

[@BenniK88]

@@arvidurs Btw two Quadro RTX 8000!, no wonder it's that smooth on your machine, amazing setup!! But the two GPUs alone are sadly way more expensive than most workstation builds.

[@TheCrimson147]

I can't believe 2020 is out! Can't wait to try it out

[@gaelkerchenbaum]

Thx a lot Arvid! Great work Arya. Glad to see your work in one of these cool demos!

[@Azzieldesigner]

Thanks you for your video Arvid. Most of studio / normal users don't have 2 rtx 8000 unfortunately. perhaps disable one of your card and load a serious 3d scene instead of theses small object. I want to see some city environment with full of stand-ins, smokes, vdv, animated object, 4k characters full of textures, illuminated with sun and sky with 1/2/3 bounce + rendering depth of field. No offense to your superbe job, its just to give us a true feedback regarding our 'average system power' :) The reality vs the dream vs what company want to sell you is different :)

[@cg.destroyer]

Pretty fast for ony two QUADRO RTX 8000 :)

sounds like a great update for both maya and arnold

[@Fullmetalseagul]

I wish 2020 was available to download for students :(

[@byMarsh]

yet

[@indiepath3570]

cool Thanks a lot Arvid Schneider

[@JettzCG]

Quick question, why do you use the Red channel for map output rather than the Alpha channel? A habit, or is there another reason to it?

[@arvidurs]

I don’t really always know what the alpha looks like. Typically it’s fully white unless you check alpha is luminance. And yes just habit to always pick the first channel.

[@JettzCG]

@@arvidurs Ah cool cool, Thanks

[@MathiasJ89]

Looks great :D can't wait to try it. Sadly doesn't look like with all the shiny new bells and whistles that they made the Diffuse Weight default to 1 instead of 0.8. One can dream xD

Yeah I know right, I keep requesting that...

[@saebr]

Thank you sir for all your efforts. Quick question if you don't mind... I just starting to learn arnold for both Maya and houdini.. So is the 600 series where I should start watching your tutorials? And just to confirm, the work flow should be the same in houdini... Correct? Would really appreciate it if you could let me know if this is where I should begin. Thanks again

[@arvidurs]

Hey Ram! I would recommend to start from the beginning. A few things changed in the shader, but essentially the idea and concept is still the same. And yes it applies to Houdini the same way. Render settings and things like that are a bit different between DCCs. But again the concept is the same.

[@hallomorty5033]

All the features you are talking about until 9min were there in 2018 and 2019. Color correction and other arnold nodes were never supported which sux really hard. I don't know any instance when I use raw textures without adding the range/cc/multiply/mix/layers nodes.

[@sachak]

Well I'm sure everything is realtime with 2x Quadro RTX 8000 GPU's lol ;) Thanks for the update downloading now as we speak to test. Hopefully I can breakaway from Redshift and go back to Arnold again.

[@sazemard72260]

You are sure that Arnold 6 is faster that Redshift ? I am under Redshift 3.0.08 and it was really faster that the last Arnold 5 gpu beta

[@sachak]

@@sazemard72260 The last Arnold GPU renderer was just the beta and it was buggy and terribly slow, I am testing this Arnold 6 as we speak. The video is a bit of a false representation of how fast it is as not many people are rocking 2x Quadro RTX 8000 GPU's in their systems. I am testing on my home pc and so far the render took 2min to start up and that's just a sphere on a plane. This is on a single 1080ti. I will test tomorrow on my work pc which is a threadripper with 3x 1080ti and 1x 1070. I will report back with the speed of that.

[@sazemard72260]

Osiris thanks my friend 👍😉

[@procentpisz]

@@sachak looking for your test mate

[@sachak]

procentpisz will definitely put my test results up tomorrow to give a more realistic representation of how fast it is on a reasonable system compared to redshift. I’m more interested in the initial load up times than anything else. I’ll also preload gpu cache to give it a fair comparison. I also want to see how it does with texture heavy scenes that contain lots of nodes which is where Arnold 5 gpu failed every time. Would just crash or throw an error and refuse to even start a render.

[@thomasgasparin4902]

ok please explain to me, if i load an hdri in skydomelight this happens and i can't find solutions, he only shows me a piece

[@arvidurs]

what happens?

[@Emeteriowallace]

Super cool!

[@retoposomnia3084]

2 × rtx 8000 and still quite ok'ish. A little bit laggy, but well these were super complex scenes :D Out of joking, thanks for sharing, seems interesting! There is just one thing that disturbs me: the lag of hypershade : ( I can not believe that it's not posible to cut it down somehow and make it independent to render or viewport workflow. It always made me mad when my hyperhsade started to lag as a slideshow specially due to complex scenes. Lets hope it will be solved in the future.

[@arvidurs]

Yeah totally agree with that. It’s super frustrating that it starts to lag. I reported that so often already. Urgh

[@ChaosWolfNinja]

This is soo awesome!!! Thank you for this video!

[@eagle872004]

thanks - really interesting and helpful.

[@lveronese]

is there any documentation on how to set up the viewport openGL? is not working for me. render view is fine though

[@danielyu597]

how do you connect multiple image file node to 1 place2D(uv control) node?

[@Rajuuken]

Hello! and thanks for the video! I have a question, what shortcut do you ue to cut the line of a node in the hypershade?

[@3djdavid]

Alt + shift + LMB

[@Rajuuken]

@@3djdavid Perfect answer!

[@ady7d77]

SINCE I STARTED TRYING REDSHIFT, ARNOLD RTX IS LIKE PENTIUM III

[@IGarrettI]

When youu made the dust, could you just use one shader and combine each channels together (like model's roughness and dust roughness )? Or is it industry standard to do it two shaders

[@arvidurs]

Great question! Before it was a standard to mix the channels so you don’t need to mix shaders. Now with shader closures you can easily just mix and reuse existing shaders. Both ways work equally good.

[@TheSatzy6699]

Nice, what could be your pc config? May not run the same on my pc.

[@VedranKlemen]

Does Adaptive sampling works on your configuration? On mine is super slow and i have one 2070 Super (cannot erase fireflies in simple scene in under 5 minutes). Thanks.

[@arvidurs]

Yeah works fine. Be aware that fireflies and sampling noise is a difference. Fireflies are mostly cause due to super bright areas close to a surface. Which can be fixed.

[@VedranKlemen]

@@arvidurs Yes.. i cannot get clean image with Adaptive sampling and clamping, and without Optix. I cannot enable Progressive rendering. I see it is grayed out on your machie also.

Where can I find your custom Lightshader Menu? I looked on your website but i couldn't find it.

Under downloads on the website - and then there should be instructions

@@arvidurs I have trouble installing it. I have downloaded Lightshader v.0.2, and read README.md file, and did exactly as it said in that file, but nothing loaded in Maya 2019. Can you help me somehow. Maybe more detailed instructions, or something? Thank you...

Hey there - I am not really sure what’s happening. It has been working for a lot of people. Essentially it’s really very simple to install. I can see if I can update the instructions to make it more simple

speed will be slower, but not so much. memory is the biggest diff. i think speed diff will be like in games on 2060 and 8000. but just if 8 GB is enough.

[@losimple]

Hey Arvid. I've been Maya user for long time and I love doing look development process and I think in Maya is pretty good. So, with the new Houdini Solaris implementation do you think that in the future could displace Maya for that kind of work?. I am really worry about the future of Maya because I've seen very good updates in other packages like Blender and Houdini. Do you think is time to see to another packages? Could Houdini be the next standard on the industry? Thanks

[@arvidurs]

It’s a question very difficult to answer. Honestly I haven’t worked with blender so can’t give any infos. Houdini is very interesting and will get more and more adoption because of its wide capabilities. Maya is still the number 1 software for animators and I think it will be around for that. I like maya and I’m sure it will Still be used for a long time

[@losimple]

@@arvidurs Ohh thanks for answer.. let me ask you a final question: Which graphic card did you use for doing the examples that we watched in this video?

[@infinitskills]

I just hope it will be more stable in 2020, ipr in the arnold render view is complete shit, working with big scenes involve lots and lots of crashes, interactive lighting do not work. Denoiser sucks,.... compared to Eevee in blender, software like clarrise, unreal engine, etc are way more advanced and look way more promising in my opinion.

[@arvidurs]

Especially with the latest Nvidia driver this should be a lot smoother now

[@IGarrettI]

Maybe it will kick fucking renderman to release gpu already. I wonder how fast Arnold gpu is compared.to.cycles

[@arvidurs]

cool idea, I can run a cycles test!

[@JDSPonYT]

I am sure rendering is fast when you are running 2 and a half 2080ti...

[@stasnikitin40]

2020 year - Arnold still have no focus picker and Bloom and Glare.

[@arvidurs]

Those are very low priority requests you have. The focus lies on GPU and noise reduction 👍

[@marcurlus4159]

2X quadro RTX 8000...$11 K...just for the graphics...hum...I'll stay a little more with Blender and a simple RTX 2080...I can do even more easier than what I see here...but it's a start... maybe Maya (this Old Lady) will be able to stay in the race after all...

[@marcurlus4159]

@Yuki Yuno yep for sure...then I was refering to the ease of use of other render engine in other software to achieve even more interesting result with a less expensive configuration...at the end the softwares used are not what is important, it's the result you achieve as fast as you can...what I saw here can be achieve with more ease and faster for cheaper...
