Re: Difference between a force and a velocity ?
They are completely different concepts, in short: Force = mass * acceleration Acceleration = Velocity / time Velocity = distance-traveled / time
Re: Difference between a force and a velocity ?
Actually speed = distance-traveled/time, velocity is more like position / time (it's a vector).

Marking sets also give me the unfortunate side effect of showing duplicate Fcurves in the Fcurve editor, one for the master parameter and another for the proxy param on the marking set. Also we use DisplayInfo as well and that makes 2 proxy parameters and 1 master parameter. Basically just a bunch of clutter. I'm giving this a lot of thought before I move on it, and I'm keenly interested in what your guy's view is on this. The only current benefit that I can see from marking sets over keyable parameters is that marking sets are really easy to find via scripting, i just do a search for a Property(MarkingSet) But its not really much more work to find all Keyable parameters.

Re: how to determine which deformers an envelope operator is looking for
If the deformers aren't in the scene then the operator couldn't connect them on the import and you loose the dependencies data. When you import a model without all the dependencies there's a warning like this... # WARNING : 3000 - Cannot reconnect operator *MESH*.polymsh.envelopop to the *DEFORMER*.Static_KineState. The object is invalid. If you log to file the import log (there's a preference for that) and parse the file you should have all the names in the right order... dirty workaround but export/import a model without the dependencies is already a non ideal workflow IMHO.

That means that the same code written to define a rig solver, a particle effect, a geometry generator or a deformer could be use between several applications like Softimage or Maya.

Re: Getting parameters linked to a parameter
Hi, I think you can get it using ConnectionStackInfo() and parsing the xml, something like this... from sipyutils import si, siut from xml.dom.minidom import parseString oParam = si().Dictionary.GetObject(Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red) sData = siut().DataRepository.GetConnectionStackInfo(oParam) for sObj in parseString(sData).getElementsByTagName(object): print sData.toxml() Cheers!

For example, say I link the the red diffuse color of one shader to another: Application.SetExpr(Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Lambert.Lambert.diffuse.red, Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red, ) i.e. the Scene_Material's diffuse.red drives the Lambert's diffuse.red. Now given Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red how do I find out that it is being used to drive Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Lambert.Lambert.diffuse.red? Thanks in advance for any tips! -Nicolas
Re: Getting parameters linked to a parameter
Oops, I've a typo... should be from sipyutils import si, siut from xml.dom.minidom import parseString oParam = si().Dictionary.GetObject(Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red) sData = siut().DataRepository.GetConnectionStackInfo(oParam) for sObj in parseString(sData).getElementsByTagName(object): print sObj.toxml() On Mon, Sep 24, 2012 at 10:38 PM, César Sáez cesa...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I think you can get it using ConnectionStackInfo() and parsing the xml, something like this... from sipyutils import si, siut from xml.dom.minidom import parseString oParam = si().Dictionary.GetObject(Sources.Materials.DefaultLib.Scene_Material.Phong.diffuse.red) sData = siut().DataRepository.GetConnectionStackInfo(oParam) for sObj in parseString(sData).getElementsByTagName(object): print sData.toxml() Cheers!
