This is not just happening with PyQt, the default file dialog for fcurve import in the fcurve editor has a similar issue. On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 7:26 AM, César Sáez wrote: Hi list, I'm starting to use PyQtForSoftimage and I'm having some issues with a QFileDialog, it works but the dialog g

RE: [custom tool sdk] Disabling snapping when ctrl is pressed

Snapping should be disabled by default in the toolcontext. You see the snap toggled in the UI but using for example GetWorldPosition won't return the snapped positions. Regards, Minrui -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.a

Hi Minrui, Thanks for your reply, It is disabeld in the context which is fine, but if the options are set to: Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.Enable0D", True, "") Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.Centers", True, "") Application.SetValue("preferences.SnapProperties.

Hierarchic blending or whatever

Hi guys, I have a bunch of animated nulls. I need to create a transition in the mixer. For blending I use the left foot as source. Since I have no IK, on transition the foot are moving, even if the clip is matched. Does anybody have idea how to create a transition where the leg is planted, with

RE: [custom tool sdk] Disabling snapping when ctrl is pressed

Hi Ahmidou, It look like a bug. Snapping targets should not be displayed for tools that don't have snapping enabled. The picking issue sounds like a secondary bug that is probably triggered by the snap target display. Have you tried disabling the snap properties inside your tool as a workaroun

RE: Maya to Soft via fbx

Hi, Softimage adds the whatever imported fbx objects under a new Model, rather than directly to the scene root. This interferes with the update animation which needs the imported scene to be exactly the same as what is in Softimage right now (ie. without the Model) I'm guessing this is the probl

Animation Editor question - randomize keys

Hi all, Maybe a silly question, but in the AE, is there a way to randomize a bunch of similar keyframes between a given frame range? Like the r(x,y) command in the MCP? e.g. all objects from frame 1 to frame 1 to 25, and from frame 100 to frame 75 to100. I would like randomize start and endfr

Hi, so it's pretty simple after all to have interesting interaction between RBDs and Lagoa simulations: https://vimeo.com/51754990. But, if you have a bunch of objects in your scene that need to interact with the fluid, you'll need to instance them to a pointcloud - not such a big deal most of the

Re: Object Label Channel... Nevermind

Multiplying by coverage is only half of it. You also need to get a 1-pixel edge around your "hard" matte, and multiply that by the inverse of the pixel coverage, then add the result to the first part. So: Good Matte = (Aliased Matte) * Pixel Coverage + (1-pixel edge of Aliased Matte) * (1 - Pixe

Re: ObjectID channel in After Effects

Yeah, I'd say generally, most AE ops don't know what to do with them, What I usually do is 'hue-key' the color, and multiply the Pixel Coverage back over to get your aliased edges. I think there is a 3rd party plug-in that does it too.. On Thu, Oct 18, 2012 at 10:51 AM, Eric Lampi wrote: > I
