Hi,
I am using Maya 2018 and latest Arnold build. When rendering 32bit Displacement map iget this error in output window.
foo: Sorry, can not handle images with 32-bit samples.
What does this mean?
Thanks in advance...
P.S: I hope this is the right place to post this question, unsure if it´s an Arnold question or more a Maya related
I would try enabling Color Management and setting the Displacement File texture Color Space to RAW or add a rule like you have done.
To add more detail, you need more Subdivision Iterations for your polymesh.
There is a Maya scene file (vector displacement) here.
I did not get the same error you did but I was getting some 32 bit warnings when I started working in 2018. Turns out I needed to turn on the OpenEXR in the plugins manager. Maybe it will help in your case as well.
Hello Lee,
thanks for your reply.
To be more precise (my fault not having done in main post) it´s a EXR so in Maya I haven´t found a setting for RAW. Prefereces -> Color Managment is set to EXR=RAW. Attribute Editor -> Settings for Color Space is greyd out - Color Managment Off. It renders the displacement but not as detailed as expected. I am not a PRO ;)
I was just curious cause I couldn´t find an answer on the Internet
... cranked it already up to over 6.500.000 faces, should be enough I think, everything up will crash my 32GB
