Re: The Softimage mailing list

Hi all, I would like to thank all of you that contribute to extending my knowledge of XSI and showcasing some of the cool stuff I've seen around, so thank you beautiful people :D As for me, I've joined the dark side and switched to Maya, and beside hating all the constant crashes and all its

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

I'm still completely amazed about how many crashes there will be in a single session...I mean...especially during weight paint...its to a point that is almost funny to me. Now I'm using a technique I used while playing Tomb Raider on PC long time ago, meaning that instead of the F5 quicksave, I

OT: Virtual Reality RnD

Hi all, I've been experimenting quite a bit using the HTC Vive lately, and Noitom was kind enough to sent me a pair of Hi5 VR Gloves. I recently got 8 Vive Trackers and I tested everything using IKinema Orion for realtime motion capture inside the Unreal Engine 4, combined with the VR gloves, in

Re: Softimage - not going away...

For technical reasons I had to switch to Maya, but I'm still pretty bad with modeling ( tools looks like a plugin on top of a plugin on top of another plugin ), and for animation I switched to Motion Builders, since all the characters I'm working on are humans with a pretty standard rig ( except

Re: super OT : unreal or unity

The main difference for me is the very script-related workflow which comes with Unity...my knowledge of scripting is pretty much zero, so the use of Unreal is my only option...and I was amazed how quickly I was able to create prototypes using Blueprints, and coming from Softimage I was used to

Re: CAD files from rhino

Guys, I've been dealing a lot with CAD files lately, one of the most plug solution is to export the file from you CAD software ( I usually use JT ) and import everything into SimLab and from there export in FBX...its surprisingly fast and I never had export problems, except for CAD files using

Re: OTish - Soft2Maya transition list

After 3 years here is my situation: - Modeling: Trying with Maya, fuck it, use Softimage - Animation: some good tools, but overall the flexibility of Sofimage still is a strong advantage point - Rigging: Surprisingly I feel more comfortable with constraints in Maya then Soft, and overall ( using

Road to Realtime-Rendering - Unreal Engine 4 @GDC

Yesterday at GDC Epic Games presented some of the innovating way the Unreal Engine 4 has been used in many different ways, creating many different solutions for both gaming and non-gaming projects, including realtime Automotive ads, movies and so on. Especially behind CG in movies, the general

Re: OT: Wireless VR 2.0

@Gerbrand: I've been working with the Vive for 2 months now and since we received the VR Backpack, right now there's no really need for the wireless setup they released...it's impressive that they are able to sell an addon like that for that price, but I think I'll just wait for the Vive 2.0.

Hi guys, Sorry for a bit of OT on the list, I just wanted to share what I've been working on during the last couple of months. In short, the setup I created allow for a 100% wireless solution for VR visualization and interactivity very different from what Oculus Rift and HTC Vive offers right

Maya API - Help on plugin installation

Since some of you are familiar with Maya I have a couple of questions about it. I backed a kickstarter project a bit ago and I currently own 2 mocap "suits" ( sensors in reality ). There is a software which records the animations directly but it can also stream animation data, and that is what I

Re: Converting Nurbs to Polygons

I strongly suggest you to try Rhino for nurbs conversion and poly optimization/cleaning, since there are some builtin features in order to do that. Then from there you can export in FBX and have a clean mesh rather then wasting time in Maya or do the cleanup in Softimage. 2016-01-29 10:45

Re: So.. Maya rigging is still a thing...

I'm still astonished by the missing features in Maya in 2016...seriously, it never gets old. Ops sorry, I mean that those features are not missing but it's up to the user to build their own...they give you the tools, you build what you need. They should really use Churchill face as the new logo
