Bifrost Basics Part 1: Node Graph Intro

[callumaustin]

Congratulations for releasing bifrost. Great welcome back for the xsi community. I hope it's just the beginning!

[ibcgamingsable]

definitely a step in the right direction!

[manojlogulic]

Great update, congrats to Autodesk! Where can I see sigraph presentation?

[christopher]

It took Autodesk this long to bring what I expected BiFrost to be a few years ago; I can't believe it.

finally softimage ice has landed in maya

[stevejjd]

We want procedural, non-destructive modelling. All the softimage devs should make maya more like softimage :) !

[p.r.]

More learning like this is much better. Moarrrr..

[nickdowner]

Great explanations without introducing too much. Thumbs up!

finally XSI ICE is back. took 5 years after kiiled.

sorry steve, im newbie about bifrost
is bifrost is for VFX only? can it do procedural modeling? lets say, combining a displacement pattern, make a greeble mesh, remeshing, or build a procedural bulding?

[VengadessanVega]

why does using the multiply node scale the object, but the add node just moves the position ?

[scaseyd]

I feel like I've seen this kind of thing before?? It sounds familiar? Hmmm

[ohjein]

is it possible to output nurbs curves?

[luchfer]

thats Get Data Set Data from ICE... interesting.

[TheMouseair]

Does anyone know whether the bifrost output can be set back to Maya type of object, like maya polygon mesh, instead of just bifrost visual presentation???

[alencg]

Hi how to speed up calculation time ? what i need better cpu or GPU ? or both?

[sbest]

Impossible to navigate Bifrost graph on Mac with trackpad!!

[yen]

Does this make other particle/sim systems in maya essentially obsolete? How does this work with cached playback?

[Dedrich]

Great info, sorry if this sounds mean but your microphone is very bad.

[tekanobob]

too late. and clunky. imagine what Ice would have been if Autodesk never binned it for this
