MGMT Kids

偶然機會聽到 MGMT Kids, very enjoy this music......

more info there. and here.

You were a child,
crawlin' on your knees toward it.
Makin' mama so proud,
but your voice was too loud.

We like to watch you laughing.
You pick the insects off plants.
No time to think of consequences.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

The water is warm,
but it's sending me shivers.
A baby is born,
crying out for attention.
Memories fade,
like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made and not bought
But I thought,
this wouldn't hurt a lot.
I guess not.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.

A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of trees wantin',
To be haunted.

Control yourself.
Take only what you need from it.
A family of treeeeees...

台灣的稻香味

Thanks Tony's info...

台灣的稻香味

美麗的照片、感性的文字、純樸的樂音，值得諸位花費五分鐘聆賞。
一開始因等候下載大量資料，作者以動畫逐漸秀出插秧、雛鴨、白鶴、水牛，
若你有耐心，就能被導入稻香的情境，我是在鄉下長大的孩子，特能悸動共鳴。

小米記趣～『Nikki阿姨，你說我學的像不像？！.』

陳小米對這一張照片裡Nikki的表情特別有感覺，時不時阿母只要說：Nikki阿姨。他就會馬上做出這樣嘟嘴的模樣，不過也如此只要看到Nikki的照片，小米都會認得Nikki阿姨這號人物。

uv pass from maya mental ray

create an render layer call uvPass_R

add a new Custom Color pass in render setting and rename call uv

and send the uv pass to uvPass_R render layer

need mib_texture_vector / surfaceShader / writeToColorBuffer

connect surfaceShader to writeToColorBuffer

connect mib_texture_vector to writeToColorBuffer

in writeToColorBuffer > Frame Buffer Options > Customer Color Pass set to uv pass

in mib_texture_vector > Parameters > project set uv mode

last step assign surfaceShader to objects and the final node graph will be like this

Point Position and Object Normal in Maya mental ray

Point Position (Point World):

create 3d point clouds from Maya and view it in Nuke 3d space!
Create a render layer ex: pointSpaceR
base on what kind of point space you need: pointCamera / pointObj or pointWorld (mostly this one)> Surface Shader's outColor

one thing about use linear workflow in maya mental ray, camera's mia_exposure_simple node must be remove/ break connection.

This point position render can be apply in Nuke's PositionToPoints node, xyz input for this point space render/ col input for normal color render.

Base on D.T. training said, point space render suggest openEXR format and no anti-Alias render feature turn on!

first: in the pointSpaceR render layer in render setting> Passes> Create a new "Beauty" passes from maya render passes library> Add to associated passes
second: double click the beauty and dis-check "Filtering" and set Frame Buffer Type "32-bit Float", of course you also need to enable "RGBA (Float) 4x32 Bit" under Quality/ Framebuffer in render setting.

object Normal:
object normal pass can be render with point space pass together, simple add a default pass call "Object Normal (World space)" from library. this also suggest turn off anti-alias on render.
This just the object normal only, no texture normal. If you need texture normal as well, just use colorR render layer that already has well texture bump and displace map setup to add the same "Object Normal (World space)", will get the object normal and texture normal together.

simple Fresnel shader for maya

Thanks Matte's class:

use samplerInfo node's facing ratio > ramp's vCoord (by middle mouse drag simplerInfo to ramp, and select "Other" to open Connection Editor!)
and use mentalray render...
and better output format like 16bits Tiff or float EXR

Furry Ball 1.3 realTime render plugin for maya...

來自捷克的產品, 分明要Vary RT for Maya難看....

downside:
so far only support file texture...
seems only use maya software shader...
no Ray Trace shadow...hmmm...
GIsetting's AO type "Geometry Elements" ...GPU fail???
DOF, when camera change too extreme focal length and Camera hit object... GPU fail????
need more shader support....

the biggest downside is no linear workflow ... should I ask a realTime system has linear color workflow feature?

小米記趣～『小米的異想世界+童言童語之大便篇』

從小米1y2m真正開始了解字義的學講話到現在，當父母的才會知道到究竟平日我們給予他的能量他到底吸收到什麼？或者是吸收了多少？當中曾經發生一些好笑的趣聞，但今天這有圖為證喔！
話說陳小米一路走來對於吃正餐都不在行（不知道是阿母的手藝欠佳還是他個人因素，但身為北木還是會盡量帶她試試不同的食物），那天正好去仁愛圓環雙聖吃完午飯，出來往NY BAGLE的方向去搭公車回家，就在那轉角處，陳小米煞有其事的指著那顆石頭說：媽媽，大便！我我我。。。當下不知該如何解釋，我只是說：親愛的，他是顆顏色很像大便的石頭。但他還是喃喃自語的說：大便～大便。（這就是我平日要他大便後跟自己的大便打聲招呼，看看顏色形狀是否正常的結果嘛？！）

小米記趣～『蘭陽博物館＆烏石港玩耍』

阿母本想說：趁天氣好非假日加上博物館還沒收費前，趕緊來陶冶性情的囉。但殊不知那天陳小米不受教加上沒睡飽，到博物館就一直哭鬧不停，一度還有一個工作人員看到我抱著罵罵號的陳小米在排隊，還跟我講說小姐廁所在那邊（難道是要我把小孩拖去廁所開扁嘛。我是不想過度解讀對方的意思，但聽了當下真的不爽。），不過也奇怪，非假日去參觀的人也是爆多一把，我們就在裡面晃了約40分鐘左右就腳底抹油，轉向到隔壁的烏時港海邊玩耍的囉。

蘭陽博物館的外貌，因為那天太陽很大，且小米哭鬧，所以漏掉拍它的外貌，這圖是轉貼別人拍的。
