I mean after having personal feelings and then reading the comments of other users, being a ux designer as well as freelancer during a pandemic I can honestly say paying $30 for the cloud and another $40 for this is incredibly steep and also undesirable, when they’re free programs that like unreal engine, free (exceptional quality) quixel assets and blender or finding a combination of cheaper workarounds with lesser known options. Part of being a small business I have to evaluate my priorities and paying almost $100+ a month just for one brand of software isn’t the most attractive or even remotely sustainable option.

Hi, I have different bottles in one file, the only difference is their label.
All lights, cameras, and other stuff are the same.

Now I have to press render for the bottle "Label A" then click on the eye symbol to deactivate the layer, then click on the eye for the bottle with "Label B", press render, and so on...

In PS you can select your layers and right-click "quick export as png", it saves every layer as a png file with the layer name.

Watching render ~50 bottles in 5 languages with a lot of clicks :(
Did I mention the other boxes, gallons, cans, and so on...
With batch, I could do it overnight and it would save my mind!

Hi Guys

With lockdowns and working from home becoming the normal, studios and artists are moving their workstations to the cloud and connect from any low key laptop or computer. I routinley work like this, especially that as an indie artist it wouldn't make sense to invest in tens of thousands to purchase several RTX cards machine and instead I utilise the cloud to pay for what I use only when I am using it. The options on the cloud are much better of course.

To that extent I use AWS Accelerted Computing instances, these are Xeon workstations with 1, 4 or 8 Tesla Cardds that I can spin up and use as fluidly as using my own workstation. Netflix animation team uses same solution on AWS.

The problem I am having is that I tried to install Substnace 3D on one of those workstations, but creative cloud wouldn't allow me because somehow the condition to install is looking for windows 10 specific version or more. Well Windows 2019 Server is windows 10 for Enterprise. So would it be possible to release a patch for the Substance 3D products that will allow artists like me install on Windows 2019 Servers?

Thank you.

Hey there. Not using Stager daily, I stumbled upon an easy thing I hadn't noticed, and thought hints or clarification could help.

I saw collisions videos (jeanette's terrazzo chocolate), so I tried something quick.

I took items, pressed "collision", moved them around… nothing happened.

I lifted all, lifted down, added collision to the ground… still nothing.

THEN, I watched again a video and discovered that the collision toggle, HIDDEN under the selection icon, had to be toggled ON manually, OR press the C key.

I know collision is heavy computing and you don't want it mistakenly on with shouting fans BUT you need to help discover the process.

I thought about 2 things :
- when turning object collision on, turn selection collision on. (easy, but heavy)
- when turning object collision on, have an help popup with a small thumbnail showing the other side of the screen and the drop down menu :) (think about Lr or Ps in context help). And somehow display the C shortcut.

Thank you for all of us newbies :)
