Animation - Known Issues & Limitations (5)

Accessory Animation Not Exportable to Omniverse 

Example: tie accessory from the Toon Maker content pack.

Very serious limitation for average user:



2 Quadro RTX 8000 for "Ideal" results = €13,000.00 + a PC box to run them in. :w00t::crying::pinch:

Well I'm using an RTX 2080 (which is only just above minimum by that Nvidia chart) and I haven't encountered any serious performance issues in my testing. Of course just like iClone and any other realtime software you have to learn how much you can add to a scene before performance starts getting affected. If you don't get too ambitious I think an RTX 2070/80 or RTX 3060/70/80 will still give excellent results.

Good grief, why would anyone want to get ambitious with their creative work? :Whistling: Less than "Good" and way below "Ideal" should be OK, I dread to think just what Nvidia consider to be adequate for fully fledged broadcast results. :w00t:

Visuals - Known Issues & Tips (5) 

Shadows cast from meshes with alpha textures onto a non-flat surface will have jagged edges.
This issue persists for Create 3.7 and 3.8, and we have reported it to NVIDIA Omniverse team.




[Workaround]
Select the problematic object’s mesh node and turning off Shadow Terminator Fix.

Is this something that will be possible in the (near) future ?
Thanks.

I know that Omniverse is working on their own cloth physics, which would probably explain why cloth physics on iClone can't be transferred to Omniverse.
I'm guessing you would have to do the cloth physics (as well as hair physics) in Omniverse instead. 

It's more a limitation in what is currently exported. USD is a geometry cache format (like Alembic), so everything is baked on export. Once RL figures out how to export vertex animation, you would have cloth and hair physics.

The alternative that you bring up would require that physics is applied in Omniverse to hair and clothing. It should be possible.

I believe hair and clothing come in as separate items, and if that is so, physics could be applied provided that the body mesh can function as collision shape. Just speculating here though...:unsure:
