Re: OT: Don´t you just Aghh-moment now, when they see something we *had* been using on SI?

If Henry Ford asked people what they want for transport, they´d say: Faster horses. This is the exact analogy with using 3d softimage. I can´t ICE-Rig yet, but once I crossed the scripting part of it in the old days, it totally changed my mind. That´s the "future" Autodesk hold softimage back from

Well sorry, I was a little harsh in my previous message. I do struggle with arrays, but I like it. Ice just opened my eyes in terms of what 3d , geometry, math behave together. It just kills me that people who choose to use "this" or "that" software have an opinion without knowing nothing. And

Re: OT: Don´t you just Aghh-moment now, when they see something we *had* been using on SI?

Modelers that don't have an idea of what a variable or an array is, animators who can't rig or script, that's what I call an average user. Generalists with technical knowledge (including ICE) isn't your average user in any package. Most of the designers I know are specialists who don't use or

Re: Using ICE to drive text, how?

Okay... Another way to look at it is that if you go into XSI Explorer with it set to view "All Nodes" at the top, you can expand the "Text To Curve Converter" operator, and then expand the Text primitive. Under there, you'll find a Text parameter and a Width parameter. There's also another

Re: Using ICE to drive text, how?

I've used "text.text" before as an output port in scripted operators to drive the text. So it stood to reason you could do it using ICE too. It's just a normal parameter, albeit well hidden! On 05/05/2016 11:25, p...@bustykelp.com wrote: How did you discover that? I had no idea ICE could be

Re: Using ICE to drive text, how?

How did you discover that? I had no idea ICE could be used to ‘write’ text. It makes me wonder what other abilities are concealed within ICE. From: Andy Nicholas Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2016 6:36 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Using ICE to drive text, how? To set the
