Mari demo part 3 of 3

Jack Greasley, Mari Product Manager, and Bill Collis, CEO of The Foundry, talk to FX Guide's Mike Seymour and show of Mari. Mari is a brand new 3D texture painting tool from The Foundry. Originally developed at Weta Digital to handle the massively complex, highly detailed look development work demanded by Avatar, Mari was designed as a full 3D paint tool with a responsiveness and feature-set that puts even the best dedicated 2D paint systems to shame. Mari is extremely scalable, coping easily with an obsessive level of detail literally tens of thousands of textures quickly and elegantly. How does Mari differ from competitors on the market? See for yourself.

Hello dili25. This demo was running on a Dell laptop with a 3800M Quadro (1Gb GPU) and 8Gb of Ram. We're working hard on the windows build and hope to have it available well before the end of the year.

Mari will be £500/$750. If you're interested in getting onto the beta you can email salesatthefoundrydotcodotuk and we'll ensure it gets to the people that make that decision. Glad you like Mari  : )

question, doe Mari create UV maps for you or do you need to make your UV map before hand?

[Cyraside]

Being familiar with Maya, Photoshop, Nuke and Mudbox, I swear Mari is an EASY pick up. You'll feel right at home- as if you've been using it for years. The masking system is incredibly powerful (especially edge, ambient occlusion, and value), the scalability is off the charts and the shader system helps you accurately visualize what a render would look like!

^^ That'll show you what Mari is truly capable of handling.

Many thanks to Weta & The Foundry!
