[REQ] SU scatter

[Rich O Brien]

@JBB

Easy setup a private beta forum here for you to get some testing going.

Lots of devs use this system and we already have a pool of reliable testers assembled.

Just throwing it out there if or when you need it.

Rich, thanks for that!
I won't need this until a more advance state, but I'll definitly get back to you in time

You been reading my mind, hell yeah, that is what I'm talking about, let me know when I can start testing.

Well, for my rendering activity, I have similar needs as you

[Pixero]

Yes it looks very good.
I would also like to test this if possible.
One thing, I see you are using Vray proxys.
Please make it so it will work with other renderers too.

[jiminy-billy-bob]

You can feed in any component you want.
The one I use in the video is actually both a Vray proxy and a Thea Proxy. It will be part of a library shipped with the plugin, and it'll be a proxy for all render engines possible.

that looks very nice! I've used Compo-spray for a long time, this looks to be a huge workflow changer!

Here is how it performs with Thea 1.4. The render starts in a couple of seconds and the render itself took a few minutes with Presto.

Click for higher res.

This is a square surface roughly 130m*130m covered with dense grass.
475'000 instances of this grass patch:

Btw, this is what the model looks like:

Very lightweight, as all this vegetation is generated at render-time.

Yea, I think it's bluff too...
Isn't it?
This looks too awesome to be true... Not in 2014...

You're right, it'll be available in 2015

[bsfranza]

so.. whats it with su skatter - alive dead or what

[jiminy-billy-bob]

Very much alive, but not yet ready for public release.
It'll come!

[Bob James]

[bsfranza]

thanks for the info though...

will your skatter plugin work with any renderer availeable or is it somewhat bound to vray?

[jiminy-billy-bob]

For now it works with Vray and Thea. I will work with other render engines developpers to make it work with their product. But for now I can't guaranty anything behond Vray and Thea.
What engine would you like to use with Skatter?

[duanekemp]

Pete, just gave me the heads up on this post. Thank you Pete. This is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been manually building a proxy replace me model to solve this issue. But, JBB, if it's possible, I would love to test this as well. This looks so promising!
