Syflex Within ICE. I can still remember how the first news of that set my
imagination alight with possibilities.
Then I played with it and, no, hold on. What's this? no weightmap inputs? But
that's even in the regular version.
It's like they've taken ICE. Stuck Syflex in, but didn't quite get
random shot in the dark, will probably fake it (as it will be motion blurred
to all hell) but.
has anyone tried setting up a chess game in ICE

just figure out if a piece can move to a position, then move it (these could
be animation clips) but not move to an occupied position

Hi List,
a simple question about custom op. I have a custom op which can has either

I'm familiar with using Geometry.GetClosestLocations(pos) which would
accomplish this if I were targeting a polygon mesh. Is there an analogue
that would work for a Point Cloud?
I do have another

That part I get. I guess I'm confused by some of the statements in the docs
about calling UnlockScene before checking the abort flag and by the example
code which seems to use a simple abort flag in some cases and a Win32 Event
in others.

I assume you are referring to this:
http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/sdkdocs/cb_Renderer_Abort.htm#Rzmcb_Renderer_Abort
Currently we are not locking and unlocking the scene, but may be we
should be. I will look into that. I guess if the user modifies the
scene during our data query, they
wouldn't you want to use it with multi threaded render be sure all threads
get shut down? this is just a guess as i have no experience with the abort
callback on a custom renderer, but i think halfdan wrote the example and i
personally think he is a pretty smart dood.

Thanks Eric, that's great info, the reason we have all shots in self contained

required (eg if you need only shot 1 + the global project)
We would never use relative paths in this case.
Many thanks, Nick
