Thank you! What test are you referring to?

​@@Miror Sorry, it's the floating text I meant.. and the light streak was done in post processing ? Using houdini or Aftereffect or something similar right? Very classy indeed.

@@jacks19822 Ah, gotcha! Light streaks and sound lines were done in KeyShot actually, but the text was done in After Effects yes : ) Thanks again!

​@@Miror Woow that's amazing, that was true mastery. Sound effects can be done using fading area light, but streaks had me buffled, still couldn't think of a way to do that... I'm trying to replicate the running light streak effect (through the pcbs) in dyson's ads here... scratching my head.. ruclips.net/video/F-fidnTbr6k/видео.html This is a 100Ks dollar ad, using many software to compose such a film.

Hi, I really can't tell you, as I unfortunately don't have a license for MCD anymore. Sorry about that. Hope you manage to work it out. Cheers

@@Miror я разрешаю скачать тебе эту программу на торенте

It's in the title: NX

What about DFM?

Hi, no this is a simple custom adjustment using profiles. No coding is required for this :) User profiles can be shared through the mtx format if I recall correctly

@@Miror thank you very much!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for your kind words 🍻

Hah! That feels overwhelming. Thank you so much for the nice words Dan 🙌

Hah, yeah took a little longer than anticipated. Cheers!

Cheers Harry!

Thank you Roshan! Really nice to hear that. Beans falling down is my own little favorite here too :) I think I should be uploading this to vimeo too to avoid that pesky compression.

Thank you Will! And thanks again for those late night tips :)

Thank you! The simulation was done using Blender :)

@@Mirorohh i see.. thankyou😊

Hi Boldizsár, Yes I've had that challenge myself a couple of times, and whereas I didn't manage to get a fully bright white(hoping this would be dealt with in KS10), there are some steps you can do to increase the whiteness. 1. Reduce Refractive Index to 1,2-1,4. While this might not be "scientifically correct", it does some wonders in allowing the material to reflect less of the lighting. Or at least that's what I believe is happening, but I'm on thin ice regarding what's actually happening regarding the absorption. You can actually mimic a metallic look by bumping it up to 6-8. 2. Reduce the distance between threads. Maybe have little to no distance between threads to avoid the shadowy squares inbetween the weft and warp. somewhere around 0,9-0,98 should do. 3. Increase the weave tension: Increasing it to something around 100-3000 might reduce the shadows between the yarn. You need to play around a little with this though to make sure you preserve a shape you want. A high tension together with zero distance between threads makes the material a little buggy. 4. Change from round to ribbon. Might not be what you're after, but at least it will remove the shadows on the individual yarns and leave the material brighter. Hope something from these work out for you. And thanks for the kind words!

Miror Thank you for the quick and detailed response! Yes setting the reflective index around 1 gave me the best results, but still not perfect. I am actually working on a lampshade detail. So I imagine to get scattered light / illumination through the cloth wouldn’t work out anyway.

@@pilldreamer Reducing it to 1 would be a bit too much i suspect. Doesn't it come off as flat? Actually you could make light shine through bit of gap between the threads and enable "Transparency" at the bottom of the shader :)

Thank you! Yes that could be something indeed. Been considering doing such a tut.Also worth mentioning that the scene is available through the course at gumroad if you want to have a closer look under the hood.

Thank you! Yes I hope to have a chance to dive into that soon. In the meantime I recommend looking into my weld tutorial as the technique applies to multiple scenarios including plywood.

@@Miror I've just seen it, I didn't know these features in NX (I learned it 10 years ago 😱) ! Today I'm using solidworks, I've to check how to achieve those kind of things...

@@simonchasseloup2686 Yeah it's quite the beast! What's good is that solidworks is borrowing the parasolid kernel from NX, so you should be able to output similar results. However, I'm not sure it offers as much flexibility and control as NX does. But I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to SW so I'm not really sure about the tools you'll have. Let me know if you find any of the techniques applicable:)

Cheers! Yes, if you rig the animation in software like blender, you can do it using the alembic (.abc) format.

Cheers! I have been doing a few experiments on that, and I haven't found the solution yet. I thought enabling normal direction would take care of it, but it doesn't seem to deal with that slight tapering as you point out. TL;DR - Haven't found a solution to the tapering yet, but enabling Normal takes care of the worst.

​@@Miror Thanks for the answer! I tried changing the X-Form grid (U and V), but it made it even worse or didn't work. I also want to achieve a coincidence grid location on the cap along the X and Y axes. In this method, the grid has rotation from the axis.

​@@13thwulf Hmm.. are the length/width ratio on your base surface roughly the same as the control surface? I found that it's important to have as similar traits as possible for the two surfaces. If you can manage to preserve the surface area as well it would be perfect, but I realize that can be tricky. Also: Refit surface can do wonders if you are stuck with messy NURBS. In summary, the correlation between base and control surface is crucial to transfer the shape of the grid.

@@Miror It is difficult to answer this question now. NX is not the main program in which I work. May I write you a letter (email on the Mirror website)?

@@13thwulf Ah gotcha. Well I understand it can be a little bit of a challenge then. I'm currently awaiting some license updates on my end, so I'm unable to look at it directly I'm afraid, but if you are in no rush I can have a look when I get a chance.

Thank you! Appreciate it. The wood is based on a texture pack from cc0textures (desaturated diffuse) . A little slim library still, but high quality :) If you want to see the setup, the scene file is included in the full course at gumroad: gumroad.com/l/ks9

Thank you Phil! So happy to hear that.
