Thanks for elaborating, Mathieu!
Another interesting point would be the city generator and your tree system.
Did you build everything in Softimage from the ground up, or is there a
mixed pipeline behind all the assets you needed?
Do you plan to ever go public with those systems?

I'm creating a rig with Gear, but when I use Chain (simple), the compiled rig
has a strange IK behavior. It looks like that the IK chain is scaled compared
to the FK. It is visible when I switch the blending to IK and the deformers
start to offset from their original position...
Cheers
OK, now it seems to be an issue with the chain itself. In a brand new scene I
created a chain with 3 guide elements. I unhide the deformers group to see the
deformers, and when I play with IK/FK blend value, the deformer seems to move
along its local X axis. At blending of 1 the deformer is
most of this easily done in ICE, but, as usual, max guys get an 'out of the

You would need to export your scenes to some kind of universal format
(early fbx, obj etc) and then re-import to 2013. No easy solution
unfortunately.

It would be easy to get the caches back - just use MDD I should think -
the only problem is getting textured geometry back - otherwise use obj
and then redo texturing in the earlier version - or try .xsi/crosswalk -
whichever - somehow think it will be difficult that side.

I don't evern have caches. This scene is so simple. I'm using 2 texture maps
and everything else is super simple animation and geo.
Isn't there a cheat? Somehow to get soft to think it's a 2013 scene?

If scene is so simple how much render nodes do you need to render it out?

Well you could write out caches - then export obj of geometry - go into
the previous Softimage, import the obj - load the cache onto it and redo
the texture - UV should go with the obj - camera you could try fbx.

Hello,
Sandy's cache suggestion will work; unfortunately there is no save as option
to save the scene as a older version of Soft. We sometimes need to cache
geo/animation from one version of software to another and this works for us!
Hopefully you can get your renderfarm updated to 2014
or try an earlier .xsi version export of the scene made into a model...?

In max any procedural texture can be used in all the builtin modifiers that
support mapping and stuff (as input or as mask), which is very nice. dont
know if that applies to custom built procedural textures...
that is not the same things as viewing procedural textures in the viewport

Hi,
Having a quick look at this, and I manage to repro it here.
What causes the deformer to move when doing fk-ik blend is the
expression that is driving the position of (chain_C0_1_loc etc..

Yes, but you can render/bake a procedural to an image file (or sequence)
but I agree with you that it'd be sweet if you could use them directly.

Converting a scene is wasted time imo and may yield bad results at render due
to passes and data that doesn’t port over.
Personally, I would override the render manager and just render with
xsibatch –render [“scenepath”] –skip

You can run on 5 separate terminals to one SI
the problem i had is that the fractals are set up as a matte in the beauty

much better all round if we could pipe rendertree nodes into ice!

Besides, doing voxels that move and scale using different variables is
definitely not something I want to do with the push of a button. I want
full procedurability for this kind of stuff. Yes it takes longer to
setup, but I can do exactly what I want. I can even do what the client
wants. ;)
