Re: Piranesi Epix Files

Already done Marti ;-)

JF

Jerry please remember to add option to "save all"  so you can automatically have few files ready to play in PS

Superb!!!

Yeah we having been working on these... Coming Soon!

 

• New Render Outputs in addition to Color, Ambient Occlusion and Depth we have added the following:

Diffuse Coefficient, Diffuse Shading (Direct), Diffuse Shading (Indirect), Diffuse Shading (Total), Diffuse Shading (Unshadowed), dPdu Vector, Geometric Normal, IC Positions, IC Values, Illumination (Direct), Illumination (Indirect), Illumination (Total), Illumination (Unshadowed), Luminous Amount, Reflection Coefficient, Reflection Occlusion, Reflection Shading, Shading Normal, Shadow Density, Specular Coefficient, Specular Shading, Subsurface Shading, Surface ID, Transparent Shading and UV Coordinates.

In addition to adding the new render outputs you can now optionally overlay visible edges to the output to add an illustrated effect.

This is going to make a lot of folks happy.

JF

Very much appreciated. Channels option superb.

We are going to try and have the Epix file fixed for the final version of the update. We are also working on allowing you to save numerous output channels and to have visible edges overlay, this will be in the update. Example below..

Given current state of architectural profession, nothing is absolutely needed now. I also would not like to have to buy Modo to make BA act as it has in past. Piranesi has been a very good adjunct to rendering in MS, allowing very good post-production practices. I'm glad to hear plans are to incorporate, but must say I've heard this for a year :-). Do appreciate the large improvements in rendering capabilities and understand the complexities of full integration, but that is why I've used MS for over twenty years.

We do intend to utilize the informatix plug-in to Luxology's modo 401 in the near future. If you absolutely need this now then you could consider buying a copy of modo,( they have a trial version) and the Piranesi plug-in from informatix is free. I really do not know much about Piranesi and have never used it. I think it would be good to have some feedback on this plug-in, so if you do give it a spin please let us know what you think.

Thanks

JF

Bentley response please on this long time issue.

I see that Piranesi's functions are still not supported in Select 1 release of BA. Any chances of this happening in near future?

I think this capability will be very helpful with our rendering workflow. 

We do Rendering Touch ups with Piranesi and having all the locks working will be very nice, with the export from Luxology to EPIX.

Regis,

Epix support has not yet been fully implemented for Luxology. TR # 264249 has
been filed for this issue.

I noticed that Piranesi's Plane and Orientation locks do not work with Epix files rendered from Luxology 16A.

Will Luxology fully support the Epix format?
