Mental Ray Satellite 3.8.1 for Maya 2011 (32/64Bit)

Mental Ray Satellite 3.8.1 for Maya 2011 x32Bit & x64Bit

Mental Ray for Maya Satellite has been introduced with Maya 6.5. It is a separate application that allows other computers to assist in all Mental Ray rendering tasks, such as rendering with Mental Ray inside Maya, batch rendering with MR, IPR rendering with MR, texture baking with MR etc etc.

Mental Ray Satellite is like a mini renderfarm that only listens to Maya. Mental Ray Standalone can accept custom written MI files, and scenes from most apps that have a connection to Mental Ray. Mental Ray Satellite doesn’t really have any manual operation, it just assists Maya with whatever it can.

What’s the limit on Mental Ray Satellite then?
The limit is based on the number of CPUs, not the number of computers. For users of Maya Complete, Mental Ray Satellite will utilise up to 2 external (being not on the machine with Maya) CPUs for assisting rendering. So that means 1 dual processor computer, or 2 single processor computers can assist with rendering.

For users of Maya Unlimited, Mental Ray Satellite accepts help from up to 8 external CPUs.8 extra CPUs helping with all your rendering tasks is a pretty nice boost!!

Is Mental Ray Satellite good? What do I need to use it?
Yes, I think Mental Ray Satellite is very good. Rendering is the slowest part of CG and all the (free!) speed boosts we can get are great. In order to use Mental Ray Satellite, you need Maya 6.5 or greater, Mental Ray Satellite itself and at least 2 computers (the one with Maya and the one that will assist) that are networked together. Having a fast network (100mbit+) is fairly important because a lot of files and data are transfered around (especially at the start of a render).

PoserFusion will allow you to import Poser’s textures and animations and integrating them in your flows of work.

PoserFusion seamlessly integrates Poser Pro 3D character animation technology into Autodesk 3ds Max.
3ds Max artists can now use readily available Poser content and pre-rigged characters to easily create Poser animations and play them back within 3ds Max. Tapping into the vast community of available Poser content, instead of creating content from scratch for 3ds Max animations speeds up your production time dramatically!

Support for Poser Pro and 3ds Max 2009 Windows (32-bit only)
Playback of Poser Animations from Within 3ds Max
Create your own animations in Poser or use Poser’s automatic walk designer, and your geometry will animate and playback within 3ds Max.
Maintain Link to Poser Files
Make changes easily! After adjusting shaders or making additional modifiers in 3ds max, you can still go back into Poser to change a figure’s position, the changes automatically update in 3ds Max!

Playback of Poser Dynamic Hair and Cloth
With PoserFusion, Poser’s dynamic hair and cloth will playback in 3ds Max.
Reload Poser Files from Within 3ds Max
Instead of reloading your entire 3ds Max scene, you can just load the updated changes from Poser.
Shader Translation
PoserFusion translates your Poser shaders to 3ds Max Shading Networks, and assigns them to the correct polygons on your characters. For easy transition, all of the base Poser shading parameters are translated into 3ds Max Shaders. including:
Object Color
Highlight Color
Ambient Color
Reflective Color

Maya Studio Projects: Dynamics
The only hands-on book devoted to mastering Maya’s dynamics tools for water, wind, and fire

In the world of animation, the ability to create realistic water, wind, and fire effects is key.

This professional guide teaches you the primary techniques you need to make the most of Maya’s toolkit, so you’ll soon be creating water that ripples, gusting winds and gentle breezes, and flickering fires the way Hollywood pros do.

The one-of-a-kind book is completely project-based. Learn the intricacies of Maya’s Dynamics tools and continue to build your skills with projects that increase in complexity.

Maya is the industry-leading 3D animation and effects software; Maya dynamics tools create water and other fluids, wind, fire, fur, particles, and more
Build professional skills in Maya Dynamics with this project-based guide
Put your skills to work by completing a series of projects on water, wind, and fire effects
Maya Studio Projects: Dynamics is one of a new series of books designed to teach animators and designers fresh skills through project-based instruction.

-1. Particles.
-2. Fluids.
-3. Breaking Ground.
-4. Volcanic Activity.
