Arnold to Nuke using Aton

Aton permette di visualizzare e rendere compatibile l’interfaccia di Arnold Render in Nuke per il rendering direttamente nell’interfaccia Nuke.

Utilizzare Arnold Renderer in Nuke

Supporto Houdini: il supporto iniziale per SideFX Houdini include quanto segue.

Arnold to Nuke (AtoN) with HtoA – proof of concept

 

Patching AtoN into HtoA

AtoN and HtoA are two third-party libraries that were not originally designed to work together. In this proof of concept, we demonstrate how one can add functionality from a third-party library, like AtoN, to an existing third-party library, like HtoA.

The full video will be a very technical article. This article is intended for an audience of technical directors, programmers, and software engineers in the video game, CG animation, and visual effects industries.

A professional level of knowledge of Maya, Houdini, Arnold, Maya to Arnold (MtoA), Houdini to Arnold (HtoA), and Nuke will be assumed. Deep knowledge of the Python programming language, in particular closures and decorators, and a familiarity with the C++ programming language will also be assumed.

Last week, the Head of Lighting at Rising Sun Pictures (RSP), Shane Aherne, expressed to me a desire for a system that could render directly into Nuke from Houdini using Arnold. Aherne recalled existing solutions for renderers that implemented the RenderMan Interface. For example, Dan Bethell and Johannes Saam created a RenderMan Interface-compatible display driver and plugin for rendering directly into Nuke called RmanConnect.
Aherne was intrigued by Vahan Sosoyan’s Arnold to Nuke (AtoN) system, which is based off of Bethell and Saam’s RmanConnect.
Aherne was disappointed that AtoN was currently only available for MtoA in Maya and C4DtoA in Cinema 4D, as RSP is a Houdini studio.

After looking through the AtoN code, Ryan Heniser figured out a way to amend HtoA to get AtoN to work. This stopgap will give Aherne and the RSP lighting team a chance to use AtoN while they wait for full support for HtoA from the AtoN developer.
