Arnold user guide for Softimage

[Sven Constable]

Hey list,

 

Autodesk took down the arnold user guide/documentation for Softimage a few weeks ago. Does anyone have it locally or a download source?

Thanks,

Sven

Hi Stephen!

I suffered hard drive failure during the christmas holiday and lost the documentation because I hadn't moved it from the download folder yet.

Could you share it again please?

Also, some people on facebook are asking for it as well. Do you mind if we share it further? And can I maybe add it to the SItoA repository?

hi.

Autodesk advises me several cards certified to be working with Arnold

they tell me other cards exist but they are not "working with them".. 

i want to buy a Arnold license and use it with Softimage 2015 and Maya 2022 which i both own.

what do you know about the most recent cards that work well with Softimage2015

? i have a problem with animation function curve for instance with the GTX 1080 card.

what is the most modernist card you can buy to work with si2015 (with no bug?)

that would work also well with Maya22 and Arnold (or Redshift)?

thank you!

Have seen this refresh glitch in the F-Curve Editor with ATI/AMD cards but not with Nvidia cards. I used a GTX980Ti and now a 3080Ti successfully with XSI.

I used both cards also with Redshift and Arnold in XSI. Worked like a charm. I havent’t heard anything about the 40xx generation together with Softimage yet.

 

The Nvidia Control Panel has a preset setting for Softimage. Doesn’t do much I guess, but doesn’t hurt either.

For your 1080 card Nvidia also offers the “Studio Driver” version. It might work better, even I think it will detect the card as a GTX and not as a Quadro and therefore installs driver components accordingly. But you can give that a try as well.

thank you ,

what would you think of a softimage user who recently said to a xsi group,

that his GeForce 2080ti could not work with his Redshift 3.0.45

he uses an old version of Redshift for a reason of compatibility with Softimage i imagine.

i use a thunderbolt 3.0 Razer Core Chrome with external card because the Oled screen of my laptop is so nice.. 

The 3080ti seems uncertain with it, (the laptop might not be giving enough electricity to such a huge consumer card?)but the 2080ti seems the best option.

from what you say i should be able to use both Redshift or Arnold with Softimage 2015 and Maya 2022

but with the "Studio driver" it could be possible also with the external 2080ti?

merci pour toute information !!

salutations,

Mathias

I didn’t say anything about external cards for use with anything.

1. Nvidia GTX cards usually work with XSI.
2. The latest version of Redshift for Softimage is 3.0.45. I used that version with a 980 and 3080 respectivly.
3. I have no experience with external cards. I use a workstation for work and a renderfarm for rendering. In some cases the workstation for rendering as well.

 

Using the studio drivers from Nvidia will most likely *not* solve your problems. Im glad to help with specific problems in case you have any.

I was told the 4000 series should work as well.  I plan on getting on shortly and test it out.

[Sven Constable]

Yeah, I don’t see why it shouldn’t work. At least for the GUI.
GPU rendering might be different when using older versions of a renderer that was designed for an older generation of cards.

Feel free to share your experiences when you got the new one. :)

I think idea is that 4000 "should" work where 3000 series worked at least for redshift.  I think Redshift worked with 3000 series after version 3.17 or just around that point.  It was somewhere around there.
