Mari 4
Mari 4.0
Foundry has released Mari 4.1, the latest version of its, updating its handling of colour spaces and selection groups. Since Mari 4.x is still not available for macOS, there is also a parallel Mari 3.4 release, which brings most of the same features to Mac users. Improved, more WYSIWYG colour workflow Most of the new features in Mari 4.1 affect the way that the software handles colour, with the intention of making workflow truly WYSIWYG. Colour picking now uses a single OpenColorIO (OCIO) colour space, preventing issues where a colour picked in one channel appeared perceptually different in another channel that used a different colour space. There is also a new scalar monitor colour space in the View Transform, meaning that scalar channels appear in the viewport as linear ramps, while preserving all of the original source data. It is also now possible to use gain and gamma controls when viewing scalar data. In addition, procedurals now have explicit colour or scalar contexts, removing issues when picking colours in another channel to the one to which they are assigned.

The update also introduces new OCIO role names which Mari uses when configuring a project’s colour space defaults, making it possible to share a common OCIO config file across a team. There is also a new OCIO Colorspace filter, which converts paint target and buffer colours to another colour space within the currently loaded config without affecting channel settings. Finally, the GPU-accelerated colour space management system introduced in has been extended to support procedurals as well as paint data. Define selection groups once and have them persist through asset updates Handling of selection groups has also been updated: Mari now automatically matches a new version of an object to existing selection groups, providing that its topology has not been changed. The change means that selection groups need not be redefined when updating a model or its UVs. More updates to the user interface Finally, the work done on streamlining the user interface in continues. The Colorspace toolbar has been decluttered and renamed the View Transform toolbar, and now includes a visual indicator as to whether you are viewing colour or scalar data.
The Channels palette also displays whether a channel contains colour or scalar data, and its bit depth. Play controls are now a toolbar, meaning that they can be found via the right-click menu of any other toolbar.
Still no Mac version of Mari 4 – macOS users get Mari 3.4 instead Mac users get most of the same features: just in, not Mari 4.1. The Mac version of 4.x is delayed by changes to the Qt UI libraries as part of support for VFX Reference Platform 2017: according to, it’s in progress, but six months on, there still isn’t a release date. Pricing and availability Mari 4.1 is available for Windows 7+ and CentOS/RHEL 6+ Linux; Mari 3.4 is also available for OS X 10.10+. Both nodelocked and floating licences have an MSRP of $2,068, although at the time of posting, the software is available at a discount. New rental options are also available,.
MARI ( Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) has been called The Doorway into the Wonder of the Psyche The MARI is a comprehensive system that uses symbols, known as mandalas, to reveal the inner truth and reality of the subject as it is –not what the ego filters of consciousness would want it to be, but what it really is. Carl Jung recognized the mandala as “the centre of personality, a kind of central point within the psyche, to which everything is related, by which everything is arranged and which is, itself, a source of energy. This center,” said Jung, “is not felt or thought of as ego but, if one may so express it, as the self.” Jung’s description of the mandala is also an excellent description of the MARI. ASPECTS OF MARI 1.
SYMBOL/MANDALA Symbols predate culture, language and even time. They are so much a part of us that we make mental connections with them that are not often conscious. An upward pointing triangle, for example, is typically chosen by people who are beginning something new –literally or symbolically. COLOR The individual is then directed to choose, from a pool of 45 color cards, the color that they feel “goes with” each of their chosen symbols. Art therapists have long recognized the connections between color and the psychological associations that are typically made on an ‘other than conscious’ level.
These colors add dimensions that may be emotional, physical, cognitive or spiritual to the chosen symbols. STAGE The sets of symbol and color cards are then placed on a ‘field’ that is comprised of thirteen developmental stages that are arranged sequentially. In addition, there are, not just one, but three symbols at each stage of the MARI, to reflect differing aspects of that stage. RELATIONSHIP OF SYMBOL, COLOR AND STAGE This field of developmental stages, known as the Great Round, is where the visual picture of the psyche is revealed.
It is the Great Round that represents the central point, as well as the stages around the periphery of the psyche, to which everything is related and arranged. GUIDANCE CARDS The individual has also been asked, after they chose their initial cards, to think of an issue that they are currently dealing with in their life. This issue need not be shared. S/he was asked to look at the remaining cards and allow him or herself to be drawn intuitively to one or two symbols and colors that seem to represent guidance for their issue.
After their original card choices were discussed, the guidance cards are then placed on the Great Round. Choices of symbol and color are intuitive It is the nature of the MARI that makes it work. Thirty nine symbols printed on clear plastic are spread out before the subject. The subject is told to allow themselves to be drawn to six symbols they like or are attracted to.
This first “cut” reflects the most important contents in the psyche or registers most strongly in the individual body-mind, which is both the conscious and unconscious. These first six choices reflect areas of tension or attention that cannot hide. They accurately reveal what is going on with us at that time.
