As a side question has anyone been trying the Fuel-3d Scanner. Anyone got
decent results ?
Secondly what workflow are you using to bake out the UV¹s and texture map?
Kind regards

Did any of these work out for you? I'm on the lookout for online renderfarm
options, but I can't find anything out about adding custom shaders to a
scene submission (in this case p_hair shaders for MR in soft 2014 sp2)

Hi Angus,
here´s a Blender/meshlab tutorial focusing on using/baking vertex colors.

But Meshlab offers loads of other options to generate UVs/textures.
When I did the vertex color (from a *.ply) file to UV/texture thing,

Hi Tim
Thanks for that. We are still battling to get our input scans of good
enough quality to be concerned to much about textures just yet.
Unfortunately they are out side heritage scans and the people doing them
are still busy learning.
Kind regards

Wow... that's funny. This script does exactly what I needed to do :-) .
I had to have the file published by this morning, so I found a way
of bashing through it manually, and it wasn't too bad. But these
snippets do come in handy often, so thanks a lot for sharing! Cheers
the flag makes XSI connect to the FaceRobot workgroup, and all the code to
face robot is in that workgroup. I don't have the time to test it, but in
theory if the workgroup is not present I think it could just do nothing and
fail gracefully. If that doesn't work, actually enabling face robot on

Okay. I'm not sure if there's a preference for this, but I REALLY
want to turn it off.
This is what I'm doing...
1. Go into Polygon selection mode. For some reason, the selection
tool is set to Raycast, so I'll switch it back to Rectangle.
2. Select some polygons.
I use my own selection toggle tools, but I've never had a problem like that
and I can't reproduce your problem even if I try it only using my mouse. SI
remembers the last tool I used when changing between selection modes.
How are you changing your selection modes?
On Wed, Oct 30, 2013 at 1:10
Using the buttons at the top right changes only the filter not the tool, and it
seems like activating point selection using Select Adjacent also changed the
tool from Raycast to Rectangle. (Raycast selection being not that handy for
points.)
I'd suggest using keys: Y is Polygon Rectangle in SI
Maybe they didnt have experts available for Softimage!!
Working as intended i suppose. Depressing even tho i’m not surpised anymore.
The future is bright

I use the pop-over menu inside the "Select" button, at the top right
of the UI.
Raycast is pretty useless for me too in Point mode, but it just
keeps coming back...
Thanks for the hotkey tip! I do use a Maya-based keyboard layout,
but I'll find it. Cheers!
Hoi
I have a wireframe I created with an ICE node out of a mesh. I'd like to adjust
the transparency of this cloud with a vertical gradient texture. How can I add
projection to the cloud to drive the gradient?

I've noticed it goes back to Raycast in step 5, when I go back to
Polygon selection mode. I'll see if I can find a preference for the
selection method for said mode.

Unique problem that should be easy to solve but isn't at first glance.
Softimage, by default, shares texture projections across objects in a duplicate
process. The duplicate will reuse the texture projection from the source
object. While we can certainly adjust the duplicate/instantiate
easier to do it without projection; get global y-position per point and use
a rescale node driving a gradient, then set either alpha of point color or
an attribute of your own naming. bring the appropriate attribute into your
render tree.

Reviving this topic...
I got back to working on this issue, and found a couple of issues.
First, I'll describe what's going on. I've got a character's coat,
to which we're attaching some mud patches. To do this, I selected
the polys under the mud patches, and extracted
did you freeze the weights? the performance should pick up once you freeze
the weights. also, use settings like where mentioned earlier in this thread
(search distances and such)
also, i don't know much about your pipeline but why does animation need to
see these mud patches? surely this could be
My guess is that when you extract polygons it makes a new object with the
center at world 0,0,0. The extracted polygons are not really deforming
with the source geo but rather getting extracted at each frame in the new
pose. So the cage deformer is seeing this as a new bind pose rather than a
You're right. Freezing the weights did help. However, for whatever
reason, the mesh is still not picking up the cage's deformations. It
just stays still... no idea what's going on here.
I'll look into the ICE alternative. I'll see what I can come up
with.
I'll also
Ah, that makes sense. And unfortunately for me, throws this solution
out the window. Time to look at something else. Thanks David!

Hi Steven,
Well this is something I have created recently so maybe I haven't spotted
the issues you're talking about.
Though, I remember Enoch mentioning that the ICECageDeform wasn't working
in 2010 but does in 2013. So maybe something has been fixed.

Don't mean to hijack.
From my tests on an envelope using extract then using those extracted polys as
a cage, won't work.
Use the actual skin mesh instead or duplicate it and delete what you don't need
and use that as a cage.
The solution I would use is to GATOR the mud to the char.
Merge all
Thanks Manny. Earlier in the thread I explained why GATOR won't work
for me in this case. Thanks anyway!
