@MasterZap ok, that’s what I figured. thanks for the insight.

@MasterZap yes, Maya 2011 on Mac. I tried multi-tiled mipmaped EXR’s, but Maya insisted on converting to .map. we’ll see how it goes. thx.

@MasterZap does mental ray prefer mipmapped EXR’s in certain way? (un)compressed, scanlines etc.? mr always seems to try to convert to MAP

@davidstripinis Italy. Lake Garda. Brenzone at Vela D’Oro to be exact. :)

@mattdleonard that’s what I call hands-on computing. :)

@janisjansons I have a WiFi & Ethernet network. I’d like my laptop to use WiFi for Internet & Ethernet for LAN access at the same time. How?

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning — mariovittone.com/2010/05/1…

Whenever I plug in an ethernet cable I loose my Internet connection that I get from my WiFi. WiFi is still connected though. Frustrating.

I suck at networks. Is it possible to have a few machines connected to ethernet (LAN) and wifi (Internet) at the same time and how?

finally caved in and made a separate company account. let’s see if I am able to post there regularly.

@dcanfora ah. nice. will keep it in mind. thx. am more interested in great clouds and atmospheres at the moment though.

@davidstripinis am stuck in Maya for the next few weeks and then 2 weeks vacation at Lake Garda. After that I will. :)

@dcanfora ?

@davidstripinis ah. cheers. haven’t had a chance to check out modomotion 3

@frankjonen but isn’t Vue doing it’s thing with its own engine as well? Or is that only true for the standalone?

@davidstripinis I know. I use it regularly with modo. :) But don’t I have to convert them to “true” mdd’s after export form Maya?

@davidstripinis what is it you are exporting out of Maya for modomotion again? It’s not proper mdd’s, right?

Tweeps, what is the preferred way to import and apply MDD files in Maya?

@socialiteapp how long is the lock-out supposed to last? it’s been over an hour now.

@socialiteapp IC. thx. I’ll lower my refresh for now until Twitter is done with their uber-maintenance in a few weeks.

@frankjonen especially the in-app plugins. though I haven’t read anything about Maya. Most of it was LW or C4D related.

@frankjonen I heard reports of Vue being crash-happy in the last few versions and support being rather poor.

@socialiteapp wait? what? before I got a little popup telling me this & now I am getting locked out? that seems wrong. is that an API thing?

Here’s one for you: Terragen 2 or Vue 8.5 (xStream or Infinite?) And why?

@socialiteapp I just started to see the same issue. Came back from lunch and Socialite was logged out. And now I can’t log back in.
