Selecting Collapsed UVs in Softimage

Hi list We are still using Softimage in one of our projects, and we've just changed to Softimage 2015 a few months ago when I finally could find a workaround to the 2015 vertex color problem (basically I had to write my own editor). Anyway, now I have a new problem with the UVs. It's not a big

Hi list, I'm using SI - FBX - Maya more than ever and I'm having some problems. Everytime I export a scene to FBX, it seems to change my current Softimage data which is weird because it shouldn't change your data ! My image clips stop appearing on Texture Editor and the preview when you double

Re: How to clear operators from an object without applying?

Just delete them? Or you mean by script I wrote something similar in JScript to freeze some operators under certain stack. I just changed it to delete all operators below the Modeling Stack. It only works with 1 object, you'll need to add a loop. // JScript delOps(selection(0)) function

Re: Is purchasing a new softimage license impossible?

AFAIK you can purchase new licenses of Softimage until next year when you won't be able to purchase anything, only rent. Maybe if you are big enough and want to buy lot of licenses Autodesk may do an exception, I don't know. We purchased a few Maya and Softimage bundles last month because we

Question about Normalmap

Hi, I have a really basic noob question, but after all these years I've realized that I'm not sure what I'm doing lol. Years ago, all I was using for normal maps was the NVidia plugin and we had to flip the Y axis (check in Invert Y). It was somewhat common knowledge back then. And since it was

Re: Hard edges from Maya to Softimage

in Softimage read that data and apply the hard edges. A little clunky, but perfectly functional as I'm pretty sure vertex colors and texture UVW coordinates are properly converted. Matt Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2015 19:31:06 +0900 From: Martin Yara furik...@gmail.com Subject: Hard edges

Hard edges from Maya to Softimage

Hi list, Is there any way to export hard edges from Maya to Softimage as hard edges (not normal clusters) ? I though about getting a list of edges from Maya, but when I import the data in Softimage the edge numbers change and differs from Maya. Vertex indexes are the same though. Or better, is

I though that RH was the only certified one, and I was looking for a cheap option. I'll try with CentOS. Thanks. On Mon, Apr 6, 2015 at 5:29 PM, Raffaele Fragapane raffsxsil...@googlemail.com wrote: go for a certified system if licensing is a priority. CentOS or RH, or FC On Mon, Apr 6,

It isn't a short script so I won't be able to write everything again for you. I would do it using an addon I wrote, so If you download and install my addon, you can use the code below: addon: http://skymill.co.jp/tools/Softimage/mCombine/mCombine.xsiaddon video to see what it does:

Maya Rotoscope

Hi, another Maya question. I've been using Maya for years but almost always modeling in Softimage (because it is way faster and better) so I never used Image Planes that much. Is there any Softimage like Rotoscope lock button (magnifying glass button in Softimage) in Maya? Thanks Martin
