Hi Paul,
one question: Since SPLICE for Softimage will use classic operators rather than
ICE, I was wondering what the current status is regarding FE interaction with
ICE. I remember some of your/Helges videos where you showed deformations and
other things controlled through ICE by talking to
yes. it will be hosted on the same list.

The real issue here is performance. ICE by itself is fast, our core is
fast by itself as well. Now to integrate our core into ICE is kind of
difficult, essentially due to competition of greedy schedulers. We can
of course do that by adding a single threaded node inside of ICE, but
that kind of
Awesome spot guys, well done to everyone involved. Thanks for sharing
Andy, a nice little ray of Soft sunshine after some heavy reading on the

Helge, or Paul, two questions:
1 - is it possible with Splice to write to NURBS as well? Curves,
foremost. Surfaces would be interesting for experiments, too.
2 - what about the writing to clusters?
I assume Splice can only move inside the limits of the SDK.
Basically, the classic SDK supports
Hey Eugen,
anything you can write to within the SDK will eventually be supported at
some point.
The integration I am aiming at for the initial release will have the
same feature set as the
maya one. This includes:
- boolean
- scalar
- int
- string
- vec3
- quaternion
- matrices (kinematics)
Hi Helge,
Looking forward to this :)

regarding FE's internal mesh representation:

I'm no expert on polygonal data structure, so the following might be naive: Why
not implement both or all three types? There are only a small hand full of
methods required to query and massage the poly data. These methods could be
aware of the actual data structure and choose the right code
That's what's great about a platform: Nobody will stop you from doing that.

I'm running HDRshop ver 1.0 on WIndows 7 64 bit with no issues.
I don't see any degrading and I've used it with some 4K HDR files

No virus warnings, either. I'm using Panda Cloud for antivirus.
Maybe I should do a virus scan, as I just downloaded it to test the

yes! create curve fit on curve
I was going to suggest it earlier but your point 3. requirements said
it must fit with *any* curve :)
change to degree linear, subdivision high and untick maintain discontinuity

You'd think...!
If not then hoop jump and either path animate a null plot it's trajectory or

Or draw a vertical straight linear line, use fit on curve deform the new
curve along the Nurbs one.
At least the number of divisions will be 'live' then.
Bit of a drag unless there's a handy script.

Rob,
Yeah, its turns out that this might be a far more reliable method than what I
was trying to accomplish. I guess I'll have to make a copy of every curve, but
there are far fewer curves than objects or strands. This might solve the
problem nicely.

Nice one Andy!
I really do feel Soft's strengths are these type of jobs requiring creative
ways to build various objects. Just wanted to point out the mark of a
great supe is one who graciously credits the team for their hard work.
Again, pretty stellar work considering the time and the budget.
I think you're pretty off on the games figures Raff - I'd say current/last
gen was 50/50 (with a lot of Soft still in Japan). However, AD made clear
that Maya = Games a long time ago. Skyline was Maya only, and all the
middleware stuff has been Maya-first/only. Next-gen pipelines are
interesting
Royale has been kind enough to agree to share the system out to the
community, through Leonard, some time after the final project wraps
bravo! I dont think Royale are a maya only studio anymore after this
and congrats to thier team for embracing pretty radical changes to an
existing pipeline.
Here's a script that I made that I use when I need nicely spaced curve
points:

def frange(x, y, jump):
'''Like range() but with float values.'''
while x y:
yield x
x += jump

Yeah, I tested out the 'transformation' rotations in the ppg for the
environment node. I went with what soft changes it to when I put in the correct
rotations (my env. sphere rotation). I checked it reflected on a test object,
against the result when ray traced (which reflects my env. sphere).
