It also has a big exposure for Python and MEL so writing extensions and additional tools is easy. Ornatrix imports and exports into Alembic which makes it very useful as a part of a bigger pipeline. We also seamlessly handle Maya curve conversion to hair and hair conversion back into curves. We support inter-operability with Maya's own tools like nHairand Nucleus simulations.
#ORNATRIX HAIR MAYA 2016 SOFTWARE#
Which software & renderers does Ornatrix support? Are you planning to include more for the future? One can add and remove operators while being able to change any part of the groom at any time. For hobby users, we added a hair operator stack view which really simplifies the workflow. Each Ornatrix operator is a Maya node you can use existing tools like the Node Editor to shape and rewire your grooms. We carried over the Ornatrix philosophy and adopted it to work seamlessly within Maya. We support hair creation from scratch all the way to the final production render with a bouquet of tools carefully designed and honed over time. It is designed to allow intuitive artistic control over the hair grooms while utilizing a non-destructive parametric workflow. Ornatrix can be used to model, animate, and render hair, fur, feathers and even vegetation. What can you use Ornatrix for? What is special about your plugin's integration in Maya? They allowed me to gather and work in a tight group of very talented programmers and designers and to evolve Ornatrix with our other tools into something powerful enough to be in all kinds of productions. These past 14 years in business taught me a lot.
We have also integrated Ornatrix into Maya, releasing it in the middle of 2016. Since then we released many new versions for 3ds Max and it is widely used by freelancers as large studios. After creating and releasing the initial version of Ornatrix, I could see it being adopted and loved by the 3ds Max community. This meant it had to behave similarly to Edit Poly, Edit Spline, and other beloved 3ds Max gems. I wanted to make a hair tool that closely fits in with 3ds Max' existing pipeline for polygons and curves. Immediately I worked on Ornatrix and a few other tools inside 3ds Max. So I quit my job there and started Ephere. While working on 3d cartoons I realized that user-friendly hair was something both challenging and badly needed in the industry. I have been long interested in all aspects of realizing 3d characters. How did it all start? What was the original idea behind Ornatrix? How long have you been in business?Įphere started in 2003 when I was working in a small studio in Toronto as a modeler. Our focus is hair, fur and feathers creation, simulation and rendering. My name is Marsel Khadiyev, I am the CEO and founder of Ephere Inc., we are a small company who specializes in making tools for the visual effects industry. Hi Marsel, thank you for taking the time! Tell us something about you and your work at Ephere, please. We are happy Marsel Khadiyev, Ephere's CEO and founder was open to talk about the enthusiastically celebrated and powerful plugin. RebusFarm's family of cooperation partners just grew by one more well-known member: Ephere's Ornatrix now comes with 100 RenderPoints per license!
