XSI Import troubles

Hi guys, I might have to work with CityEngine http://www.esri.com/software/cityengine/ in a near future. The Basic version of CityEngine only exports in .obj. In Softimage the opening of a sample Obj of 8 buildings (43 polymesh, 43 materials, total of 1300 faces) takes around 15s. The

Yes thanks ! Still not able to change the textures path though. (can do it one by one), but the Search and replace doesn't seem to work on path... What is the syntax to change "every files" to [Project path]\Pictures\every files ? replace Le

Re: XSI Import troubles

If the search and replace supported regular expressions it'd be a breeze. I would think that the way it is now makes it pretty much impossible without scripting (and doing some RegExpr search/replacing...) On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 6:03 PM, olivier jeannel olivier.jean...@noos.frwrote: Yes thanks

Re: XSI Import troubles

You can use the FBX library to import the .obj directly, without going through the converter, in Softimage 2013. Go in File-Crosswalk-ImportFBX, and change the filter to .obj The FBX .obj importer will be used instead of Softimage's native one. FBX also offers .3ds, .dxf and collada

Re: XSI Import troubles

Hi Dan, A little more efficient code can be written using the os module. It will be more error-proof on all the platforms. import os oSources = Application.FindObjects("", "{BB74AA1E-12C5-11D3-B37A-00105A1E70DE}") for oSource in oSources:

Re: XSI Import troubles

Thanks for enlightenment Joe, I know that there are some limitation with os module, that is why I said more error-proof and not absolutely error proof. Most of the time I would use: os.path.join(c, Desktop, Users, jo, mydatas) 'c\\Desktop\\Users\\jo\\mydatas' As far as possible I avoid using

No need of plugins Eric, when coding on Notepad, you know you have to be aware of everything and can't trust anything. That makes your code looking * sublime*, smarter and more professional ! :D -- Jo 2012/6/7 Eric Thivierge ethivie...@gmail.com Notepad might have a plugin for all of that...
