Hardware / Oculus Quest 2

« on: 2021-09-23, 13:13:30 »

Hej,

I once again have to revert to the knowledge
and simple honesty of this great forum.

After reading, mailing and calling (even with facebook reality labs),
I´m not feeling ready or knowledge filled enough to buy the Oculus Quest 2.
In the end it all feels like "bla bla" ..give us your money and fu** off.

So:

I would like to use the Quest 2,
because it works without a cable and is an up to date device
with good resolution and frames...etc.

What I´m not sure about & what I would like to ask you all is:

1. What are your thoughts on the cosumer version and the facebook account bondage?
(I called someone from facebook and talked about the business version..it does not make sense for me).

2. Can I use VRto.me with a browser?

3. Can I link (maybe via chromecast) the client VR view onto a TV,
so others see the "non eye-seperated" flat version of the VR with "client looking around"?

4. As it is only possible to load APK files onto the device,
do some of you know what this is and can I convert HTML-VR content?

5. Does someone have experience with "The Viewer" App for the Quest 2?
I´m willing to switch to them, if this fit´s better than VRto.me for example.

6. Is the setup more or less "Plug & Play"?

That´s a lot, I know.
But maybe some answers will bring me one step further.

Thank you all so much!
best regards
Nico

Off-Topic / Windows - uninstall waste cleaning

« on: 2017-10-04, 12:13:56 »

Hej,

I´m sure there are some PC-specialists out there..so I´m asking here.
If I had some software installed and uninstalled,
there are always some folders, files or other unused stuff left.

Some in the documents folder, some in AppData-Roaming...etc., and so on & on & on.

Does someone know, how to really remove these unused waste automatically or
with a tool?

I cant tell were all this waste is located and I only feel well after a clean OS install :)

I´m looking forward to some tips.
PS: CCleaner and so on is allready running.

[Max] Bug Reporting / Sampling Focus with Render Region

« on: 2017-05-16, 10:54:55 »

Hej,

I wonder why my regions only clear out at the edges.
Having a look at the sampling focus you can see,
it behaves somehow strange.
(See the attached images).

It also happens, if the adaptivity kicked in for the whole image.

Maybe this is a bug or am I doing / expecting something wrong?

thank you & best regards

General CG Discussion / Scene states manager not showing / solved!

« on: 2016-12-13, 16:50:22 »

Hej,

I liked using the scene states manager over the state sets in max.
I dont remember when, but somehow the scene states manager didnt show up anymore.

So on this forum post:
http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/3ds-max-forum/scene-states-manager-missing/td-p/6675988/page/2

Someone found out, it is related to 3D Connexion script plugin..thing.
Follow his steps and youre good to go..it works again.

This will only affect people using products from 3D Connexion.

All the best

[Max] I need help! / cube map VR images / bloom & glare

« on: 2016-12-02, 09:49:03 »

Hej,

Maybe I´m doing something wrong,
but I get visible edging with bloom&glare after I calculated my VR cubemaps into the actual VR.

Now you could say: use spherical 360 images.
But my question is, if this is going to be "fixed"?

Looking forward to your Feedback

[Max] I need help! / Frosted glass in reflection

« on: 2016-10-24, 10:27:26 »

Hej,

While building up a new scene,
I ran into a problem with reflections.

Please see the attached image.
The "frosted glass" on the left should be seen in the mirror on the right.

Material setup is pretty simple,
and even with uniform "frosted" glass it wont show up the blurred reflection in the mirror.

I hope someone can help here.

Thank you in advance!

My depth is not filtered (no AA) and I even tryed to double the resolution (rendered).

Attached you can find one example how I´m working right now.

I hope someone could help (?)

Thanks in advance.

General CG Discussion / Interesting web page for models

« on: 2016-08-05, 09:53:33 »

Hej,

I just found this site on the search for some models.

http://apparentreality.co/

Unfortunately it´s not on full function (you cannot buy something).
The system is supposed to be working this year (2016).

Just wanted to share, because I think there are some cool models.

I´m a bit out of capacity right now.
For a somehow high quality project I have to model this armchair:

http://beltafrajumar.com/belta/producto/goia-armchair/

Does someone have time and skill to model this thing?
(Fabric version, no textures needed, clean mesh / quads, wooden base, clean Uv´s, etc.)

I would like to go almost with the quality level from "Designconnected".

Maybe someone could give a short offer?
I would be very happy about some help.

Payment will be honset and fast.

[Max] Resolved Bugs / Corona Layer Material "maybe bug"?

« on: 2015-11-04, 20:10:16 »

Hi,

I was trying to test out the new Layered Material (1.3 release).
I hab 2 materials placed in the layer material (base and top material).
By using corona AO as so called layer mask beside the top material, corona or max
always forces one to pic again the map one has choosen for maximun distance for corona AO.

I hope it´s not explained to complicated.

Does someone else experience this problem?
If so, and if it hasnt been reported yet, I think it should get into one bug report.

Other than that I will love the new layer material :)

Thank you!
Greetings

[Max] I need help! / Relink bitmaps script

« on: 2015-07-31, 11:00:27 »

Hej,

Maybe I´m doing something wrong..

But since corona-bitmaps are there,
the script "relink bitmaps" does not take a look after the corona bitmaps.

So it´s not possible to work with the script anymore.

I downloaded the latest version of the script.
Maybe Colin Senner has to update the version(?).

Thanks for any help

All the best

[Max] I need help! / Produce beamer light

« on: 2015-05-13, 10:40:01 »

Hej,

does anyone know how to produce a "fake" beamer light (rectangular) on a wall.
I cannot place a rectangle just in front of the wall with a light material and maybe alpha on it,
because the client want´s to place objects in front of the wall which should be part of the beamer image (shadow etc.).

I have tried placing a bitmap into the "light color" slot and also with light material..no success.

Would be great to figure this on out.

Thank you!

[Max] I need help! / IES_Noise that takes very long to get clean

« on: 2014-09-16, 20:08:23 »

Hi,

my problem:
I do use IES Corona lights and the noise in the light shape does not want to get clear (it renders fast, but the noise in the lights wont get away).
When i am using 3dsmax lights and setting everything, so corona renders the ies, the rendertime "explodes".

So:
Can somebody tell me to get the best and fastest result with IES-Lights in corona?
Maybe some description about what steps and settings to work around?

I think this will safe one near deadline..

Thank you!
