Agenda
14:00 - 14:30 Wynand Lens - Autodesk Maya 2020 – Prepping Characters for VR Games
Our Speaker is Wynand Lens, an experienced Technical 3D artist and Autodesk Certified trainer, In this 30 Min webinar he will be sharing his Maya pipeline in creating Game Characters for Virtual Reality
Lens is Proficient in Python, and writes pipeline and rigging tools for Film, VR and Games in the Animation industry.
1) VFX and Animation studios can scale up their ability to output high quality renders by accessing the Autodesk Arnold renderer through a subscription to the M&E Collection.
- The M&E Collection provides 5 licenses of the Autodesk Arnold renderer with each subscription.
- This is an excellent way to add render nodes for use on a local server or in the cloud, since the studio needs to subscribe to a 3D tool for each artist, this lets them add render nodes for a much smaller additional cost.
- M&E Collection = USD 2,145 / year
- Maya or 3ds Max = USD 1,545 / year
- 5-pack Arnold = USD 2,370 / year (just the 5-pack is more costly than the M&E Collection)
2) VFX and Animation studios can produce high quality effects simulations using Bifrost within Autodesk Maya. The best (and currently the only) way to compute those simulations over a large number of compute machines on a server, is to access multiple Bifrost compute engines in the M&E Collection.
- The M&E Collection provides 15 entitlements to subscribers of Bifrost compute nodes. This lets studios who need to run very large simulations run them more quickly and efficiently on the cloud or local servers, so the artist can get the result back faster to do more artistic iterations.
