RE: redshift materials show gray in viewport

I don't think you have a full grasp of what non-associative means, Sven. A non-associative light is a light which doesn't care about associations. It will illuminate everything in the scene regardless whether objects are associated to it or not. That IS the default behavior of lights in

OT: Light association WAS: redshift materials show gray in viewport

I made a mistake in wording. An exclusive light in XSI is not the same as a non associated light. There are three states: Associated-inclusive -> default behavior to all obj in a scene -> obj get illuminated or de-illuminated (negative lights) even if not associated. If associated (attribute set)

RE: redshift materials show gray in viewport

There *are* three values but the third is just not translated. It's non-associative but present. The result however (an obj is illuminated by a light) is the same as associative-inclusive (in semantics this sounds illogical somehow, but it makes sense work wise). A strictly non associative light

RE: redshift materials show gray in viewport

I strongly disagree Sven. It's horrible and misleading because the parameter's dropdown menu only shows 2 possible values - inclusive or exclusive. But if you check the SDK for both Softimage and mental ray, you'll find there are actually 3 possible values: non-associative,

Matt , while we´re at it (brute force representation UVws), sometimes arnold materials do not show themselves on the Material explorer, is that the reason why? On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 2:48 PM, Sven Constable wrote: > *"…**By default all lights in the scene are shown to

"…By default all lights in the scene are shown to be inclusive, but they are not actually 'inclusive'. XSI is only showing that as the default value. You must explicitly click and set the association to inclusive or exclusive for it to actually kick in and become active. Horrible UI design

Re: redshift materials show gray in viewport

XSI has a concept called “Instance data”. Instance data is data that is generically common to all objects for a given parameter, but has unique values per individual object (or 'instance'). For example, all geometry have a concept of texture UVW coordinates, but the actual UVW coordinates

you can multiply your turbulize variance by the weight map like this. On 16 August 2016 at 11:13, Morten Bartholdy wrote: > I would like to do a simple flagstyle nonsimulated turbulent animation in > ICE using Turbulize mesh. I need to modulate the effect with a

Modulate ICE Turbulize mesh with weightmap?

I would like to do a simple flagstyle nonsimulated turbulent animation in ICE using Turbulize mesh. I need to modulate the effect with a weightmap but ran into it not being applicable as a scalar value for resizing a vector. I guess this is because the weightmap contains a value per vertex, so
