Houdini的Mantra渲染设置Mantra Render Settings for Houdini

Mantra Render Settings part 1 for Houdini

Mantra is a rendering engine built in Houdini, complex and powerful rendering engine. Don’t worry, in this video I’ll break down Mantra explaining basic concepts and start to describe a few parameters that will enhance your ability to push your renders using Mantra.

In the video, I demonstrate go over the the parameters in the Sampling tab of Mantra, explaining the Min & Max Ray samples. Noise Level, Global Quality, and Diffuse Quality parameters are all discussed. I show how to turn up the Diffuse lighting in Mantra and generate more soft light in the renders. The Diffuse Limit is used to demonstrate how it affects the renders and how its essential to the diffuse light component.

My Blog usually contains shorter tutorials that aren’t really worth making a video on or sometimes if I want to release a tutorial earlier I would post it on my blog, simply because making videos take a lot of time.

Mantra是内置于Houdini中的渲染引擎，复杂而强大的渲染引擎。不用担心，在本视频中，我将分解Mantra解释基本概念，并开始描述一些参数，这些参数将增强您使用Mantra推送渲染的能力。

在视频中，我演示了Mantra的“采样”选项卡中的参数，并解释了Min＆Max Ray样本。讨论了“噪声级别”，“整体质量”和“扩散质量”参数。我展示了如何在Mantra中打开“漫反射”灯光并在渲染中生成更多柔和的灯光。 “漫射限制”用于演示它如何影响渲染以及其对于漫射光分量的重要性。

Mantra Render Settings part 2 for Houdini

I continue off with Mantra’s render settings and go over some of the parameters to help you make the most of Mantra and render out some nice images.

In this video, I go over the Quality parameters in general, SSS, Subsurface Scattering, and how the light rays are calculated in Mantra. I will show you a short demonstration on my workflow with Mantra adjusting the parameters for a dorm room scene that I have prepared.

In the end, I have a short talk about some of the topics that I have plans on doing in the future for tutorials covering more advanced topics with Mantra.

I am slowly adding more and more objects to the dorm room scene, if you want to stay up to date with the latest changes I make, I usually post them up on my social media.

我将继续Mantra的渲染设置，并介绍一些参数以帮助您充分利用Mantra并渲染出一些漂亮的图像。

在此视频中，我介绍了质量参数（常规），SSS，次表面散射以及如何在Mantra中计算光线。我将向您展示有关Mantra的简短演示，其中包括Mantra调整我准备的宿舍场景的参数。

最后，我简短地谈论了我计划在将来针对涉及Mantra的更高级主题的教程打算做的一些主题。

我正在向宿舍房间场景中添加越来越多的对象，如果您想了解我所做的最新更改，通常会将它们发布在我的社交媒体上。

Mantra Render Settings part 3

I continue this Mantra mini-series and demonstrate how to render volumes using Mantra and how to configure the Mantra Render settings in the Mantra ROP node to get the effect that you want in your renders. I talk about the Volume Limit, Volume Step Rate, Volume Shadow Step Rate, Stochastic Samples, and small tips and tricks you can use to speed up your Mantra workflow.

In the end, I have a short talk about some of the things I’ve been up to lately. Mostly with the Toon / stylized rendering with Blender. I plan to do a Blender to Houdini workflow tutorial soon, please stay tuned for that!

I also have a sneak preview on some of the side projects that I’m currently working on. I’m trying to create procedural animation using Houdini, so far I’ve made it to the point where I can transfer simple motions from one character to another.

Can you spot the new things I added to the dorm room scene?

I added a teddy bear plushie (his name is Oliver) and a pillow on the bed. And of course the cup of coffee is a new item on the desk.

I am slowly adding more and more objects to the dorm room scene, if you want to stay up to date with the latest changes I make, I usually post them up on my social media.

我将继续这个Mantra微型系列文章，并演示如何使用Mantra渲染体积以及如何在Mantra ROP节点中配置Mantra Render设置以获得所需的渲染效果。我谈论的是“音量限制”，“音量步长速率”，“音量阴影步长速率”，“随机样本”以及可用于加快Mantra工作流程的小技巧。

最后，我简短地谈论了我最近所做的一些事情。大多数情况下是使用香椿/ Blender的风格化渲染。我计划尽快制作Blender至Houdini的工作流程教程，敬请期待！

我还简要介绍了我目前正在从事的一些副项目。我正在尝试使用Houdini创建程序动画，到目前为止，我已经做到了可以将简单的动作从一个角色转移到另一个角色的地步。

您能发现我添加到宿舍房间场景中的新内容吗？

我在床上加了一个泰迪熊毛绒公仔（他的名字叫奥利弗）和一个枕头。当然，杯咖啡是桌上的新事物。

我正在向宿舍房间场景中添加越来越多的对象，如果您想了解我所做的最新更改，通常会将它们发布在我的社交媒体上。
