mayaMatchMoveSolver v0.5.0.beta1 - Silhouette Rendering and Bug Fixes

[Maya MatchMove Solver]

Hello everyone,

This beta release shows a very cool new feature - silhouette rendering!

Big thanks goes to Patcha Saheb Binginapalli for writing this implementation!

To use the tool, simply enable the "MM Renderer" renderer from a viewport's "Renderer" menu, then click the MM Renderer option box to select the MM Renderer Globals node.

Finally, click on the Silhouette > Enable attribute check-box to enable Silhouette rendering.

The following attributes can be used to control this new rendering mode;

- Depth Offset - Controls the detail/artifacts of the silhouette lines.

- Width - The width of the silhouette lines.

- Color - the RGB colour of the silhouette lines.

- Alpha - the opacity of the silhouette lines.

The silhouette lines can be rendered as well as "Wireframe On Shaded"-style hidden line rendering.

See the screenshot attached to this email for an example display of the effect.

We are hoping to get feedback of:

- Stability or unexpected visual artifacts.

- Performance (compared to default Viewport 2.0)

- Any other issues.

See the release notes for other updates, including the bug fixes to Create Controller 2, the core Solver, and new user preferences for loading Markers.
