  1. Someone has to publish Arnold’s most recent user manual, if possible…

  2. OK, so is there a tutorial anywhere for retards on how to use this and softimage?
    How do I create an environment, daylight, etc?

    • Step 1) Unplug your computer
      Step 2) Go back to McDonald’s
      Step 3) Don’t quit your day-job, you’re obviously not ready for 3D work.

  3. Arnold don’t render SURFACES? only polygon meshes?
    thanks for this baby!

  4. Thank you a lot!
    I would love to get maya version too and some manuals if possible!

  5. This is great, works very well the surface scattering is not going to get Arnold to softimage 2013?

  6. yay, Softimage 2012 plugin just in time for Softimage 2013. This will be the norm from now on with Autodesk releasing a version every year. As you can see nothing big was introduced in Maya or Max, why not just release a service pack Autodesk? Milking these 3d fools for all their cash Autodesk? Piracy from CGP is karma Autodesk. No wants to pay for a rehash or subscription advantage and get a few new features they will never use. First year I feel Autodesk got lazy, 2012 stuff bought us a ton of new features, 2013 bought almost nothing but a few Service Pack quality additions. anyway thanks CgBlogger for the upload :) .

    • How did you get it to install in 2013? I tried to just redo the install paths and that was a no go for me.

  7. Solid Angle is now [2012] sixteen people [twelve are in Madrid] and half of those are working on the core renderer.

    Marcos Fajardo: The SItoA and MtoA plugins are still in private beta, but our betas are pretty solid. Writing solid plugins for complex 3D apps like Maya and Softimage is really, really hard and takes a long time. We are a bit obsessed with quality and won?t make an official release until the plugins are polished to perfection. SItoA has been in development for longer, currently at version 2.1.1, while MtoA is still at version 0.15.0. We follow a strict versioning procedure that lets our testers use the software in production with sufficient guarantees that new changes don?t break existing scenes, we issue frequent bugfix releases etc. So in practice, many of our testers have been using our plugins in production for a year or two.

  8. PLEASE HELP! I NEED A GOOD STANDARD CONFIGURATION FOR SAMPLING WITH ARNOLD!, ARNOLD IS VERY SLOW, NEXT TO MENTAL RAY! I HAVE 16GB 1600MHZ DDR3, 2.8 GHZ PHENOMX X6, ETC, AND TAKES A SINGLE RENDER AND A ROOM WITH SKYDOME HDRI, takes about 30 min to 1280X720,!
