Re: Changed ICE Orientation attribute access from sdk?

In c++ the structure can be single or it can be an array. Set the rotation in an emitter with a "random value" node, and it will be single, set it with a "randomize around value", it will be an array. Inside the "randomize around value" node, you will see that the point id is used to drive the id

Hi all, is there any one who knows, how to get the option wich output is rendered in the shaderball preview for multi output shades in c++? I can get the shaderball options with: *ShaderDef** sDef( Shader.GetShaderDef() );* *ShaderballOptions options( sDef**.GetShaderballOptions() );* With

Re: Windows 10 - what's the current verdict.

At SI start, i have problems with floating windows. The first opened have sometimes no buttons and is frameless. Especially with the render preview. When all floating windows are closed with the help of a script, the issue is gone... Latest NVidia driver is used. From SI2013-15.

Catch a drag/drop

Is there a way to catch when a material is moved with drag and drop from the material manager to a mesh/cluster. The siOnDragAndDrop event doesn´t work. I think a siOnBegin/EndCommand can work but to be compatible with older versions, i use the 2011SDK with C++. I hope there is any way... Stephan

@Steven: I can change the samples to max 64k, but haven´t tested it. I think when i double the sample, in this case to 20k, it should noise free. It depends from scene to scene. Indoors with less light sources are always slower. An outdoor render will be faster... @Toonafish: Sorry, not available

@Steve: It means 16000 samples per pixel also the count of rays per pixel. After 2h4min i reached around 10500 s/px. It should be for the entire ray tree i think. And nearly 0.7MSamples per second, which means a image of 1024x512 which has 0.6 MSamples is updated ~each second. Your last post looks

I had used strands to drive the emTopologizer with the use of the emTools. The result is here http://www.vimeo.com/52658670 and here http://www.vimeo.com/52810210. The first one is a static mesh and the second one is a deformed mesh and that should be the thing what you need. To match the strand
