Alfred 慢慢的需要鞭策時

我的Alfred設定好像有問題,目前job都會慢吞吞的在跑, 手動需要按RETRY才會跑的比較快

目前同事有個暫時的解法, 在cmd理找出alfred的PID編號

ps aux| grep alfred

然後打STRACE 的指令 (例, 20069, alfred 的pid)

strace -p 20069

有時候strace也會卡住,就點一下CMD畫面

renderman shader裡加 custom aov layer

新的AllPurpose Shader 裡開個" Incandescence" shading component, intensity set to 0, color attach a Color Slbox
slbox 寫法請參考以下圖檔

結果會是final render不會出現, 但是會出現在aov的圖層裏面

two sided shader in renderman

如果遇到正反面是不同屬性的材質，可以用SLBOX來寫condition,利用model的face normal來判斷.
sl code寫法如下,v1跟v2可再各自串聯node上去

/* color */
if ((dPdu^dPdv).N>0)
result = v1;
else
result = v2;


記得maya model的double side 要關掉，renderman的ensemble的double shaded 要開

Old Maya Render Presets

There is no preset option to create a layer override in Maya 2009 as it was in 2008

However you can still create these overrides by using the following Mel
Where layer1 is the name of the Layer you like to override.

Ambient Occlusion

renderLayerBuiltinPreset occlusion layer1;

Luminance Depth

renderLayerBuiltinPreset linearDepth layer1;

Normal Map

renderLayerBuiltinPreset normal layer1;

Geometry Matt

renderLayerBuiltinPreset matte layer1;

Diffuse

renderLayerBuiltinPreset diffuse layer1;

Specular

renderLayerBuiltinPreset specular layer1;

Shadow

renderLayerBuiltinPreset shadow layer1;
