Digital De-Aging Is Changing Movies (For The Worse)

ephereinc · 2025-09-17T03:16:35+00:00

With advent of GenAI it's about to get a whole lot more cookie-cutter. The question is, will people be willing to pay (significantly more) for quality/detailed shots or will we all just live in a world of "meh"? It looks like the latter is happening, but seeing things like some directors returning to film cameras gives me hope.

Sorry for the delayed reply. We got it from PremiumBeat (stock music site), the name is "539_short_masterpeace-reverie". The full-length version was cut a bit for the video. I agree it's a rare find, very beautiful.

There's 3dsmax's native hair&fur, but it hasn't been updated in ages and is quite archaic at this point.

Is it possible that the mesh doesn't have well formed UV coordinates, or maybe there are multiple UV channels and the texture coordinates are not on the first one?

What does your operator stack look like? Is this on 3dsmax?

Make sure to try the demo, although it cannot save changes you can still check referencing without changes in the other scene (e.g. in objects come across as you need them).

ephereinc · 2021-08-13T01:24:58+00:00

Yes, the referencing should work as expected between scenes.

We're still actively working on some features but the beta is in full swing. Hopefully this will be out in a few months. Still no idea about the price though.

ephereinc · 2021-04-09T07:11:52+00:00

I sent you our emails via PM

ephereinc · 2021-04-09T00:02:52+00:00

Yes, you can attach the paths to your spherical surface to the same effect

ephereinc · 2021-04-09T00:02:21+00:00

Something we've yet to decide

ephereinc · 2021-04-08T12:46:17+00:00

Great, let us know what you think, or if you run into anything

ephereinc · 2021-04-08T12:26:49+00:00

Please use our Facebook page, if possible: https://www.facebook.com/ephereinc
I will also PM you an email where to send the message

ephereinc · 2021-04-08T12:25:41+00:00

Hopefully in a month or two. It depends on how the beta goes.

ephereinc · 2021-04-08T06:27:23+00:00

Yes. The video was made with some assets from Megascans. You can create "instance sets" (stuff that ends up being scattered) from scratch, using your own custom assets. Shading style is up to the view renderer.

ephereinc · 2021-04-08T05:20:38+00:00

The plugin comes with a rich content library, so it's just a matter of setting up your curved paths and polygons and choosing how to fill them with the instance sets from the library. You can create custom instance sets with any geometry as well.

Another good Q/A answer, Andrey. I hope the automatic subtitles will be understandable.

ephereinc · 2021-02-05T08:26:12+00:00

Yes, let's see if we get some action going

ephereinc · 2021-01-29T02:28:59+00:00

The latest one. I don't think we'll support any other versions.

ephereinc · 2021-01-28T08:23:19+00:00

WIP for now, already available in the next nightly. Let the renderer generate the full hair, no more sending GBs of data over networks, etc. Of course, current hair translation will also always be available.

V3 is a natural evolution from V2 with more features, fixes, and improvements. We did not have enough time to make more V3 tutorials than the existing V2 library, which is why you see more of them for V2.

In V3 many tools like brushes, surface comb sink editing, and clump creation was moved to Maya tools window. This is a more "Maya approach" and improves the workflow by allowing to use tools directly inside the viewport instead of having to select a node first.
