@Pooby: the image reader node supports Softimage .pic, TARGA .tga, OpenEXR .exr and SGI .sgi

Hey Rez007, I was just kidding!

Also nice to see the continued support for Softimage.

Why wouldn't I continue to support Softimage? It's functioning beautifully, way better than all other apps I know.
Did I miss something?? ;)

Thanks for the kind comments, guys! A frequently asked question regarding emFluid5 and its volumes is " how can I render the volumes? ". Here a list of currently available render solutions: 1. first of all there is the volume renderer that is shipped with emFluid5, i.e. the "emFluid5 ...

@Daniel: hehe, veeeery funny

@Bullit: thanks!

Hi there! A few updates were released today and, more importantly, emFluid5 is now open beta. I have the flu, so please forgive me for being lazy and only copy/pasting today's newsletter here ;) Updates: New versions of emFlock2 , emNewton2 and emRPC4 are available. The multithreading has been revis...

little update:

• Linux versions of emPolygonizer5 are now available for Softimage and as a command line tool.
• A first video tutorial is available, just a walk through the new stuff (see below)

Cheers!

Nice fluid sims. But i am a afraid any non integral simulation will have not much future in 3-5 years.

Hey Bullit, what exactly do you mean with "non integral simulation"? Got any examples (links, papers, wikipedia, ...)?

@Bullit: still working on the documentation and stuff, sorry. A list of the new features will be available soon in the online doc and on the emPolygonizer5 web page. Here a brief "what's new" list: new multithreaded mesher core. very low memory consumption. liquid shaper (a.k.a. PCA "...

Howdy people, Hope everybody is doing fine! I am very pleased to announce the release of emPolygonizer5 (version 5.1) :ymparty: Aside from new features and many improvements this new version is not only available for Softimage , but also for Maya , MODO , Fabric Engine and as a command line tool .. ...

Thanks guys

Thanks for the post, Oliver!

The release seems to be quite close

Absolutely! Official release is next Tuesday (October 28th 2014).

Thanks!

I just hope the release does not come too late... with the EOL and everything ;)

is there any plan for read VDB volumes in the future?

Yes, there is. In fact the beta of emFluid5 already can read/write VDB volume files.
The alpha version of emFluid5 should be released this summer, at last!

Thank you so much, guys!

I must say that it was a totally unexpected nomination (hell, a few hours ago I did not even know that there was such a thing as a 3D world CG Award)) and I am sincerely honoured to say the least.

Many thanks to 3D World magazine for this!
