Damn! How you even came up with that idea :O So cool, thank you!

Griggs number 1, paintFX still strong, get Duncan to remake them in bifrost

[@maxvonluna]

He's using the plugin Cosmo for Maya. Once installed, Shift + Tab (on a Mac).

3delight manage to have mesh light (geo) that produce the same amount of noise as a normal light. Will anorld ever manage to have mesh light that produce the same amount of noise as a normal light? That would be great

[@markusbaumeister8315]

Cool. I follow your videos a long time ago. But I never saw one where you explain the best ambient occlusion Workflow. I don't understand why occ is not an AOV. So maybe you can make a tutorial about the optimal occ output Workflow?

[@LeeGriggs]

I never use it tbh. It's quite an old fashioned technique. In what situation do you use it?

[@markusbaumeister8315]

@@LeeGriggs I think in every rendering :-) why it is an old technique?

[@leegriggs6173]

@@markusbaumeister8315 You shouldn't need to use it with Arnold. Why are you using it?

[@markusbaumeister8315]

@@leegriggs6173 I think because I do it since I made 3d. But interesting... Why I don't need it? Maybe that is a topic for an Arnold tutorial :-D

[@VIPINFX]

@@markusbaumeister8315 create a custom AOV and ADD AO shader to it done!!!

[@misterdoctor9688]

where is new arnold?? you are lagging behind your competitors

[@cihankenar1]

How would we do this in Houdini or Katana ?

[@David-zd6ex]

Why arnold doesn’t focus on 3ds max tools?

[@schmoborama]

What I came here to ask - is Arnold still the only renderer that you can't turn off cast-shadows from the mesh light's mesh?! Do I still have to render every single mesh light on its own damn layer to avoid this?

[@schmoborama]

wait wtf? They deprecated the shape node / Translator / mesh_light just a couple years ago, you're supposed to do it from the Light tab now. Make up your damn minds
