Hi Christopher,
do you have indirect illumination as your main source of light in the scene?
Technically, your composite comp seems correct, you multiply raw diffuse by
it´s diffuse level (wheight).
If there is hardly any direct light contribution, your result will be pretty
much black.

Yes, it's not Softimage related problem, it just happened that I have to do

Hello List,
I thought this would be easy but I didn't find anything in the docs so I

Ever since we started losing shapes stored in a reference model mixer I've

Sorry to drag this one up after so long, thought I'd state the resolution.
Essentially it was due to pywin32 post install function wigging out, but
this never materialized as an issue since everything else relying on it

Last projects I had to do anything with shapes (Fable the Journey and

This is another reason I'm glad 2014 moved to Python 2.7.3. Just makes
it easier to deal with PyQt tools. If you have Steve and Jo's plugin,
they just work 'out-of-the-box' without having to use the system Python

Maybe using XSIUtils.BuildPath() would work better?

BuildPath() and os.path.join() should be the same.
Just shooting in the dark here, but try wrapping your value with
os.path.normpath() before importing the model.
Last but not least, the obvious... does the file truly exist? You can check
with:
if os.path.exists(mdlPath): lm(File exists!)

to answer your question, if you set lights and shader gamma to 2.2 it means
it will de-gamma the color inputs of your shaders and lights for you, just
like setting the texture gamma to 2.2 will make it de-gamma any 8 and 16
bit images you plug in. (it will leave float images linear just as it
Thanks guys! Ok that makes sense to me. So yes I'll keep everything at 1.0 on
the arnold gamma settings/driver and use xsi's gamma 2.2 for display / color
wheels / etc.
As for xsi's color profile I tend to use always srgb and specify linear input
strightly on the image clip when I work with

Hi Daniel,
I saw something similar long time ago: Uvs looked fine in SI but after
exporting and obj and importing it again to SI the UVs were scrambled. It
was the same geo just exported and imported back to SI. I'm guessing here
but I think it's not a Mudbox problem per se, but a mesh problem.
