Re: Exocortex Species 1.5 Released!
Well from recent discussions and from getting my hands dirty in some real production you definitely appreciate tools that can speed up your iterations. :) Relating Species to the recent post from Brad Gabe, I believe that the Species AnimRig has been designed well to give a very good base rig that can be extended for a wide range of productions. I think that focussing Species Hominid on a solid Biped setup helps make it less fragmented than other generic auto-rig tools as well. There is a time and place for those too though.

custom ICE attribute to Maya
Hey guys, since I have not been able to de-instance my simulation so far, my next approach is to send the particle simulation to Maya (where it gets rendered anyway), re-assign the instances and de-instance there. I thought this should be possible creating a custom integer attribute containing the instance index per point. However, I have not found a way to load this attribute inside Maya. I forced it to cache by enabling an attribute display for it, and it is inside the .xml file for the nCache, so it should be there. Unfortunately that is not the case - he always tells me the attribute does not exist. I found this thread: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/xsi_list/qXnL5-86mLI Where Chris Gardner successfully does the same thing, so I am probably doing something wrong here. Has anyone done something like this and could give me a step-by-step instruction? Cheers, Leo
Re: custom ICE attribute to Maya
Just to answer my own question: The attribute has to exist in Maya has to exist BEFORE loading in the cache -_-. Afterwards, it work fine - cache the shape ID to a custom attribute, create a float per particle attribute in Maya that has the same name as in Soft and now attach the cache.

Re: Exocortex Species 1.5 Released!
Hi Gavin, The scale change was actually implemented with v1.1, so if you're using that version you should be working at the same scale as v1.5 ( now v1.5.1 ). As Eric mentioned it may be better to keep using the same version you started the project with. If you really need to update mid-project here are a few things you can do to quickly transfer your older characters to the new rigs: - If you have characters at the original 1.0 scale follow this tutorial video - https://vimeo.com/37260802 Otherwise: - You can store the configuration of your old PropRigs using our PropRig StorePose tool. Next, import a 1.5 PropRig into your scene and drag and drop the stored pose from your old PropRig into the new PropRig's mixer. Now you can select the pose in the new PropRig and run the PropRig ApplyPose command to resize the new PropRig to match the old PropRig. You may need to adjust the hands and fingers slightly to match your old character as our default hand poses have changed. - Next you can use the PropRig ReplaceMesh function to transfer the mesh from your old character to the new resized PropRig. If you have a custom envelope on your old character you should be able to load it after this step as the names of our deformers have all remained the same. After loading a custom envelope, be sure to rename the envelope ( under the EnvelopeWeightCls ) to Envelope_Weights and do a Freeze M on the mesh. Hope this helps! -Chris On Tue, Jul 10, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Chris Covelli kylevar...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Everyone, Just an FYI, we discovered a small bug with our licensing code that was causing a few crashes for some of our users.

Re: Exocortex Species 1.5 Released!
Hey Gavin, You can go two ways, keep using Species 1.1 for the sequel to keeps things consistent. Or re-rig the meshes from the first one with the new Species version. I would not suggest mixing them as it will be very hectic on your part to be going back and forth when edits are needed. Species doesn't have dependencies on the plugin version however the AnimTools won't work with the older rigs (alignments changed a bit). You could save the weights out from your original Species 1.1 rigs and reapply them when you get them redone with the 1.5 version.
