Maybe by inspecting the hair.GetActivePrimitive2() you could find something, but I doubt it (and I can't test it since I don't have XSI at home). GetRenderHairAccessor return a CRenderHairAccessor object which I would be surprised if it would be COM compliant (for lack of a better word, just

For hair points you can do this, and then work out the subcomponent to there corresponding Position array (sure i did something like this for some script at TFish at some point, just taking a look at the way its layed out looks very familiar) hair = selObj.ActivePrimitive.GetGeometry2(1) lm(

RE: reorder custom parameters

2012-12-03 Thread Matt Lind
The whole point of using the self-installing custom properties is you can build a more robust and reliable toolset around them. One issue encountered with using tools to work with custom properties is figuring out what custom property you have so your tool knows what it should do. If you

The problem with properties having to exist in a plug-in is that the moment you need any decent extent of dynamism in the layout you are SOL, so it's not really an option, and while you could get users to ignore errors, if you have automatic log compiling, summaries, monitoring etc (and we do)

RE: reorder custom parameters

2012-12-03 Thread Matt Lind
A custom property is a structured userdata intended to be placed within a specific scene context, such as on an object, cluster or other scene entity. They're useful for tagging objects and for identifying scene items. A sticky-note, of sorts. If you're using them for any other purpose, then

2012-12-03 Thread Raffaele Fragapane
I thought we WERE talking layouts here, otherwise why would you even remotely care about re-ordering parameters? Of course if you're just adding tags, go ahead, do whatever, it doesn't matter then because if a user has to see tags you have a mistake somewhere in the design or are not providing the

RE: reorder custom parameters

2012-12-03 Thread Matt Lind
It started as a layout discussion of how to reorder parameters, but some of the other replies were coming in and stating to use customparamsets for other things which custom properties were better suited. When I saw your reply I interpreted it along those lines. Hence the reply as stated. If
