flow along curve
i have a particle cloud emitting from a curve, then flowing along the same curve... i duplicate the cloud, and change the input curve for a different one (outlines of countries...) the second one is behaving COMPLETELY differently from the first, both curves are frozen, everything else is the same on both clouds but on the second i'm getting strands that have the first segment a set distance from the curve, and traveling at 1/10th the speed, even though i set the speed in the flow along curve compound help? a Adrian Wyer Fluid Pictures 75-77 Margaret St. London W1W 8SY ++44(0) 207 580 0829 adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::mailto:adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com www.fluid-pictures.com blocked::blocked::blocked::blocked::http://www.fluid-pictures.com/ Fluid Pictures Limited is registered in England and Wales.

Re: Component Selection done in ICE?
Hi everyone. Thanks you for all the input, here are the replies. @ Raffaele Fragapane Pity it doesn't work that way. This could be awesome to translate ICE calculations to drive common operators selection. Would this be something Houdini does? @ Martin Yara Many thanks for this. Does exactly what I was looking for. Should be in http://rray.de/xsi/ :) @ Ciaran Moloney Ah I knew I was missing some property :D Even though selecting an edge and marking it hard affects both gourad shading and catmull edge weight, that ICE attribute seems to only affect shading and keep everythig hard when I activate Subdivision. Fortunatelyself.EdgeCrease works just fine! Thanks. @ Fabricio Chamon Java is not my beach, but many thanks for the example of a script getting ICE data into selection. Can be very usefull. So I had a problem and now more than way to solve it :D Cheers
Re: Component Selection done in ICE?
Houdini has dynamic groups, yes, and they respond to SOPs. Soft through ice can, however, drive attributes which can then be read by other facilities, just some of the inbuilt stuff, like you've bumped into, takes only clusters as a feed.
Re: MODO webinar for Softimage Users - tomorrow, April 3 - Register here...
La mechanique du coeur, still looks pretty decent. I don't think its a fair assessment as a pipeline experience, Walking the Dog aren't exactly the norm when it comes to pipelines. Like you say with a few more modo savvy people on board I'm sure a lot of pain could have been alleviated. Jack Fontaine is a nice guy, but i got the impression he's a modeler, strange that they would have him come in as a render consultant. Would love to see something brought together through a full Modo pipe, of course we are not there yet but 801 seems to be shaping up to bring us closer. On 4 April 2014 09:38, Rob Chapman tekano@gmail.com wrote: Had an unpleasant experience with modo when it was included in a previous pipeline as a render engine last year. stuff could get in ok but getting relevant stuff out was not so easy. The modo 'expert' for finaling said that the reason it could not export nulls with scaling or rotation was because modo has 'deep code' . Obviously my experience with this app was subsequently tainted by a lack of production savvy professionalism. It can only really improve when tested 'in battle' so hope it does for you guys !

Re: MODO webinar for Softimage Users - tomorrow, April 3 - Register here...
'tested in production' can mean a lot of different things to many different people, but in general I think its fair to say that Modo has not been tested that much. (yet) Its unfortunate that WTD had some junior promoted to HOD (pure nepotism) and subsequently gave a bad impression of how good Modo could be in a pipeline. and just want to add that it was not anyone from Modo itself that was unprofessional, it was decisions on staff made by WTD itself that gave this bad impression. it was most certainly not Jack Fontaine, but would rather not name names. but back on topic - Modo can export nulls / alembic stuff to other applications now though yes?

Modo has had scene referencing for a while now, but not in a production-ready state. This is a known area of concern and is high-priority for them.

This is also a known issue. -Tim On 4/3/2014 4:30 PM, Steven Caron wrote: so you can reference in modo? how similar to softimage? and i don't mean implementation just feature wise. does their renderer have a deferred format? ie. vrscene, .mia, .ass, .rib s On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Sergio Mucino sergio.muc...@gmail.com mailto:sergio.muc...@gmail.com wrote: In the spirit of not leaving the rest in the blank, Brad showed lots of features of Modo that a lot of people were not aware of.

Gradient shader c++
Hi,
i try to write a shader with a gradient input.
Here is a part from the code which i have made and which is working:
Context ctxt( in_ctxt );
Application app;
ShaderDef sdef( ctxt.GetAttribute( LDefinition ) );
sdef.AddShaderFamily( siShaderFamilyTexture, true );
// PARAMETERS
Factory fact = app.GetFactory();
ShaderParamDefContainer inpdefs = sdef.GetInputParamDefs();
ShaderParamDefContainer outpdefs = sdef.GetOutputParamDefs();
// Input
ULONG cnt = 12;
CRefArray popts;
ShaderParamDefOptions *opts = new ShaderParamDefOptions[cnt];
for( ULONG i=0; i cnt; i++ ) {
popts.Add( fact.CreateShaderParamDefOptions() );
opts[i] = ShaderParamDefOptions( popts[i] );
}
opts[0].SetInspectable( true );
opts[0].SetTexturable( false );
opts[0].SetLongName( LGradient );
inpdefs.AddParamDef( LvalueGradient, siShaderDataTypeGradient, popts[0] );
opts[1].SetInspectable( true );
opts[1].SetTexturable( true );
opts[1].SetAnimatable( true );
opts[1].SetLongName( LColor1 );
inpdefs.AddParamDef( LinColor1, siShaderDataTypeColor3, popts[1] );
...
Now i want to define the inColor1 for the marker1 color.
In the spdl file of the gradient shader, i see there is a connection like this:
Connection gradient::color1 = interface color1;
How can i make this in c++?
I have tried some things, but nothing works:
inpdefs.GetParamDefByName(LvalueGradient).GetAttributes().Set(
L{210EA5F3-1742-4204-999F-E0750F2289E4}, LinColor1 );

Re: Gradient shader c++
Hi Matt,
it´s a mental ray shader. But i need only the layout to convert the values
to an other renderer. I read in as example, the color of a marker and it´s
position and transfer it to a non mental ray shader which the renderer
knows.
The shader definition is pure c++.
And it works for what i need it for all other shader layouts i have made
like this one:

Now I'm curious if it was even on anyone's top 5 list. ;-) I'm not a really good person to comment on the general issues discussed in relation to Maya workflow. While working on Soft I worked on hair, animation layers, lip sync, modeling, object view/isolate, tools, kinematics, fcurves, ICE (well in fact every part of the software except Rendering) My current involvement in Maya is limited to the modeling team but I feel pretty comfortable that I can have a positive impact on workflow in that area.

Re: Referenced models: Expressions
Man, this is becoming so handy. A bit of a bother to setup. But I can just get referenced model after referenced model and let ICE fix the reference paths and not breaking anything :D The issue I was having was a matter copying the Tree to a new ICE Tree, since some parameters were created after the ICE Tree. By the way Is there a way to set references into attributes. Per model is handy to centralize the reference roots (without attributes) so that if I need to change them I just need to change them once and not go through the whole model looking for red nodes and fixing them. A String to Reference could sort this. Cheers
