Hi,
i need a custom parameter for a material for the OctaneRenderer which must
have an unused type.
The material should also render as a simple lambert/phong in MentalRay.
For an other material, it is working, only the material with the custom
parameter makes trouble.
I have build a custom
Hi,
Has anyone been able to get the Mental Ray vector displacement shader to
work with tangent vector displacement maps coming from Zbrush ?
The diagnostic file tells me I should use a FlipandSwitch setting of 10,
but that only results in chewing gum :
Sorry for not being clear enough. When a plugin is loaded at startup or through
LoadPlugin, all plugin items are registered through XSILoadPlugin and then the
dll is unloaded by XSI *without* calling XSIUnloadPlugin. Anything allocated in

Afternoon all,
So a combobox is derived from two values - the Label and the Value e.g.
box = [Label1, Value1, Label2, Value2]
Say I've selected Label1
by using GetValue (box) the value it returns will be Value1
Is it possible to get the label as a return value other than
I usually just do a quick python type thing:
selected = box.Value
boxList = box.UIItems
boxList[ boxList.index(selected) - 1 ]
That's presuming that each Label and Value entry are unique, of course.

Hey folks,
Does anybody have idea how to access the fcurve editor from scripting? I
would like to modify the selected keys on selected fcurves, but for some
reason it seems to be that the accessing of the editor itself is not
documented...
Anybody has any idea?
Thanks
Do a search in the sdk docs for Animation Editor Attributes.

You can get to it as a view by digging around a bit:
all_views = list(Application.Desktop.ActiveLayout.Views)
all_views.extend( list(Application.Desktop.ActiveLayout.Views(vm).Views) )
for view in all_views:
if not view.type == Animation Editor:
continue
fEditor =
sounds like if you put some code in the constructor of a global
variable, then you'd be called twice per xsi session, since your dll
will be loaded and unloaded twice?

Usually, plugin systems use a specification file for each new plugin (xml

Right, the original plan was to cache the plugin registration info on disk and
avoid loading the plugin at every single session. We could also keep all
plugins in memory after registration like Maya does.

your highlights are overexposed thats why you won’t have good aa on them
its often happening when you have superbright (sub)pixel(s) next to darker
ones
you can either
-put on glare on those in post (like in real cameras..)
-pre-clamp pixel values (in vray there is
Yeah Piotrek nailed it.
If you can't adjust the light, then the spec/refl most likely needs to be
turned wayy down. Personally I always try to dial in the coefficient before
doing any kind of clamping.

Are you lighting with ibl or do you have an HDR environment for FG lighting?
If you have small ultrabright light sources in the HDR, they are very
hard to sample accurately and your higlights may get 'fireflies.
Some things to try:

hey Gareth,
if I remember correctly and in the case where the multi-selection flag is
not on, you can do something like this:
values = ['red', 'orange', 'blue']
formatted = list()
[formatted.extend(x) for x in enumerate(values)]
['red', 0, 'orange', 1, 'blue', 2]
values[listbox.Value]
no ?

The problem is the light type. Switch to an area light, and the hot
speculars will go away. Lights without area mess with physically-based
shaders, and such shaders have to deploy hacks to get around lights without
any area because they are not physically correct.
If switching to an area light
Can we see what the problem area looks like?

nope at all, I mean like a specification file. plugins specifications are
