Replacing the “displacementToPoly” command previously useful in Maya.
Go to Arnold/Utilities/Baked_Selected_Geometry. This will export from the scene as an OBJ that should match your Catclark Subdivision level. The process can take some time.
You then have to import the OBJ back into the scene.
“This was a stunning entry, with the success of the whole show entirely dependent on the skill of the Effects team. The textures and liquids they created were so realistic that the jury felt completely immersed, forgetting they weren’t watching a real embryo. An extraordinary piece of work.”
Great news.

Excellent work and congratulations to the rest of Team BDH. The final result was a perfect blend of many peoples work, modelling, rigging, sculpting, rendering, lighting and compositing with the BDH signature analogue elements.
Fingers crossed for the 28th.
(You know, it’s the one with all the babies.)
Six degrees of freedom (6DoF) refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space. Specifically, the body is free to change position as forward/backward (surge), up/down (heave), left/right (sway) translation in three perpendicular axes, combined with changes in orientation through rotation about three perpendicular axes, often termed pitch, yaw, and roll.

This is something that will be crucial to any future plans of VR, AR and MR.
As a CGI artist I am fluent with navigating myself around a 3D space using a Wacom pen and a combination of customised button control and use of the ctrl/alt keys. But I was myself unfamiliar with this terminology which seems to be at the core of much development at the moment.
Obviously 360 video cannot provide full 6DoF so will naturally settle itself as different kind of medium.
Do not upgrade yet to El Capitan OS if you use After Effects a lot. When working on networked files it slows to an unworkable speed.
I’ve been on it for a while, but have only just noticed this as I’ve only been working in Maya recently and that is fine.
It appears to be a major issue involving smb sharing and whatnot. There’s some people discussing it here.
I’m just downloading an upgrade for AE now so will keep you informed.
“Here’s the gist of Altucher’s argument: autoworkers have no future because driverless-cars are coming, and there’ll soon be 90% fewer cars on the road since everybody will carpool, so autoworkers should learn creative job skills that require little to no effort and pay lots of money, like animation, website design, and illustration.”
