Re: adding precision to renders

["Oliver Heijmans" <oliver(at)topixfx.com>]

aah, yes,  in softimage they are,

 

but when exported to mental ray, they are loosing precision some times.

I want to make it consistent so less rig evaluation problems, aka rigs in renders being displaced

when sending to the farm.     instead of  0.80000000   ->   0.8e1  etc.

Are you sure the problems are down to accuracy? I think you?ll find that although the numbers in the ppgs look lo res, the actual numbers are full floating point.

 

Try this:-

 

SetValue("cube.cube.length", 8.00000000000001, null);

logmessage( getValue("cube.cube.length" ) );

How do you get XSI mental ray to add more precision like 8 digit numbers

so renders are more accurate, and you eliminate problems.  (so rigs are evaluated more precisly )

 

Before plotting or creating Mi's .

 

Is there a way to add that to your scene.  In certain packages you can add precision by adding an attribute.

 

Anybody?
