Today (Halloween) would be a great day to kick off a C-Live show.

Eons ago on a CV Live show there was a tickler regarding creating a cloud-based rendering farm, if I recall correctly. I sure would have loved to see how to do that. Could that be just a subject for a future tutorial?

Would love to see some Maxon-specific best-practices for render farms. Cloud and/or cabled locally.

@Vrauckis
Not for everyone, but I’m planning on building a modest net-render farm using the new Mac Mini. Should be an easy set up and maintenance for me and the cost per thread should be pretty low.—
I’m guessing it’ll be enough processor incentive to offload most rendering tasks from my main workstation most of the time.
Suitable for my needs—short 3-5 minute corporate tech/medical animations.

When I get some bench testing results, I’ll share it here.

See link for a recent story about using Mac Mini’s in the data center for the processor array.

I’d like to see a tutorial on making planograms. Thanks!

Hi CRGIBSON,

Thank you for the suggestion. Just so the communication is clear, you talk about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planogram

This forum here is/was for Cineversity Live, which has its current focus on Event Presentations of the best artists available, e.,g during NAB or Siggraph.

Just a little hint, to keep things organized here and have it in an easy to use way, if you like to suggest another tutorial, please use the “Tutorial Suggestion Forum” http://www.cineversity.com/forums/viewforum/96/

It has been a while that I have had spend time in this area, but back then we used photos and camera projection (if needed) to accomplish this. Mostly to see how a new product would stand out in the filled shelf.
Is your question based on these quick 2.5D ideas, or more based on 3D representations of the products. IF it is all about box like shapes, it might be easily done. But if you need 3D scanning of more complex structures, (e.g., shoes, that might be a longer theme. Well, perhaps not so much, if we take a look to all these new 3D scanners attached to an iPad. Any thoughts?

All the best

Sassi
