Crowd FBX won't save in scene

Hello, I understand there are issues with CrowdFX and exporting via FBX, and I wanted to check if the issues I seem to be having are part of that known issue. I'm using 2013sp1 I can bake out an FBX fine, and read it into a new scene and it works fine and dandy. Then i try and save the

Re: Crowd FBX won't save in scene

Hi Andi Without baking the fbx, does the CLSid errors occur? This issues occurs for more than 1000 actors? Ivan Sent from my iPad. Please excuse for typos. On 7 Jun, 2013, at 10:33 PM, Andi Farhall hack...@outlook.com wrote: Hello, I understand there are issues with CrowdFX and

RE: Crowd FBX won't save in scene

I've also tried the standard point cache procedure an i ended up with broken materials in the cache. Not very handy, so at this rate i'll be rendering locally on one machine! cheers, A

RE: Crowd FBX won't save in scene

Hi Ivan, the problem only occurs when i've imported an FBX with a few thousand actors. I don't get it at all with the simulation scene i generate the FBX from cheers, A http://www.hackneyeffects.com/https://vimeo.com/user4174293http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andi-farhall/b/496/b21

Re: Poll: Blend Shape workflow ICE or Mixer

All the shape work on Justin http://www.justinandtheknightsofvalour.comwas done in mixer (lots of shapes), we hadn't enough time to refine ICE workflows for nontechnical artist and not everyone on the team had a solid softimage background (this was 3 - 4 years ago). Mixer tends to be a bit messy,

RE: Crowd FBX won't save in scene

The materials issue is something I repro when batch rendering on more than one computer and using -skip. I was asked to test this on the current SP1. From my understanding, the scene has to be recreated in the SP1 because there were some changes in the core compound most likely. Hopefully that

Re: Poll: Blend Shape workflow ICE or Mixer

I like to use the shape manager with multiple shapes hooked to controllers, or parameter sliders (blend two shapes with a parameter slider left to right, eg.) to later be saved with stored animations in clips in the mixer. I then play with clip animation later only, with layered

Accessing data from 2D arrays of custom type

Hi everyone, I'm trying to access the individual elements of a two dimensional array of a custom type. I have no problems when the array is one dimensional, but when it is two dimensional and I try to create subArrays, I get stuck. You can't get access to a subArray of custom type by saying

Re: Accessing data from 2D arrays of custom type

As always writing to the list and a quick bike ride are a cure to all softimage related ailments. For anyone coming upon this on a google search, here is the code that got it to work: (This is just the code from the Evaluate callback.) case ID_OUT_DecPointPositionArray : { // Get the output port

Random image animated sequence

Hello List, I'm trying to randomize an animated sequence of a candle flame. It's a simple scene with some scatter particles instanced with a group of 3 models (body, plane with animated seq candle flame and a light for each model). With this setup, the flames runs equal for every candle and

Re: Random image animated sequence

Hello Eduardo, So you want to offset the start of your image sequence per particle, right?If that's the case, you can do it with just a couple of nodes: Set a random value per particle (even the ID of the particle may work), then add the current frame and save it as a custom attribute. I
