RE: In house Softimage hair broken?
We have a system based off melena that I have mentioned before, we modified it mainly because the dynamics side of melena did not really work for us, and we wanted to use the strnd dynamics setup as they work quite well - it did not stop there - our clever fur lead got hooked and eventually it turned into a feather system too! The nodes we use are available as unsupported download - we can give pointers and help if asked, but anyone using them must realise we cannot develop anything based on what might be needed outside our scope. There was a posting about it a while ago - if you cannot find the thread let me know and I can email you the link to the zip file. Please note that the system does require melena being installed to work, as we use their hair to curves system. BTW out of interest someone mentioned softimage fur being buggy - we have not really found that here - but we are still on 2011.5 so I wonder if there are new issues to do with 2012 and 2013 fur/hair.

My scene now thinks it was created with the student version...
Hi all. I recently downloaded a scene ( http://wiki.brianmeanley.com/wiki/StrandsTools) that someone had made using the student version of Soft and opened it by dragging it into the program. I then re-opened the scene I was working on and subsequently saved. Now every time I open my scene it warns be that it was created with the student version, which it was not. Bug? Any way to clean out the rotten metadata? Luckily I noticed quickly so I can go back a version or two but still... not an ideal behavior! Thanks, Dan.

Nope. I think you'll have to export out a model, and then import that. I'd restart Softimage, just to make sure you don't have the student lic flag set. It looks like you may have found a bug...the Softimage session kept the student license flag even though you were running with a commercial license.

In the original geo, the points are oriented properly as are the original center points are pointing where I needed them, but since I am now using ICE to push them around, the particle points that are generated from the merged geo that the poly islands come from all orient global 0,0,0. Which was fine up until I was asked to constrain their orientation so that they Y axis is always pointed at the surface underneath. So they need to orient flat along the surface, like how they start out in example 1, example 2 shows what's happening as they fly away from the surface, their orientation does not stay flat. In example 3 you can see what happens when I orient the axis towards the globe's surface, they all flip. So I am a little stuck. After digging into the nodes I haven't found a place where I can make any changes to the orientation of the axis without the instances also flipping. Thoughts?

Particle rotation offset on deforming meshes
Hi, I'm setting up a feather system for a bird based on particles. The basic workflow has 2 stages: 1) grooming/styling 2) follow mesh deformations step 1 generates an icecache file containing particle rotation and polygon ref frame on the closest location on emitter at grooming stage. step 2 should load attributes from the cache and make particles follow the deforming mesh (emitter). how to I calculate the rotation offset that should be applied to the feathers, so that it smoothly follows envelop deformations on th eemitter ? It seemed easy to me at first, but I'm stuck... from my basic math knowledge I tought subtracting poly ref frame at gromming stage from poly ref frame at deforming stage should give me the offsetted matrix, then just add this matrix rotation back to the original feather rotation. but that doesn't look good on the viewport. my particles are oriented in the Y axis (root to tip), pointing to the X axis (upVector) any ideas ? thanks
Re: Particle rotation offset on deforming meshes
problem solved: I had to multiply the original particle rotation by the inverse of the rotation of the closest point on the emitter, then multiply the result back again to the actual (deformed) rotation of the closest point on the emitter.
Re: Particle rotation offset on deforming meshes
when trying to setup a feather system a while ago (which by the way i never finished, i hope to soon if i ever get any free time to my self) i think you can use stick to particle location? maybe. on a simulated tree. well if i remember correctly that worked for me. hope this helps. cheers Daniel Sweeney 3D Creative Director *Tel:* +44 (0)1422 300066 *Mobile:* +44 (0)7743429771 *Email:* dan...@northforge.co.uk *Web:* http://northforge.co.uk Northforge Ltd Registered in England and Wales | 07757507** Office Suite D105, Dean Clough Mills, Halifax, HX3 5AX On Wed, Sep 19, 2012 at 3:47 PM, Fabricio Chamon xsiml...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm setting up a feather system for a bird based on particles.

Getting consistent path to property in scene
I am trying to write an export/importer toolset. One of the tasks is to dump the full path to animated parameters regardless of where they live in the scene so they can be found/modified directly upon importing the data. Example: If an object called George has an animated texture projection, the paths (via Parameter.FullName) to it's translation parameters may look something like this: George.polymsh.cls.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsu George.polymsh.cls.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsv George.polymsh.cls.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsw The problem is, if I use those strings with Dictionary.GetObject(), Selection.SetAsText(), or any other method, Softimage throws an error claiming the path is invalid. If I select the texture parameters directly in the explorer, the script log records the following as the paths: George.polymsh.cls.sample.clslist.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsu George.polymsh.cls.sample.clslist.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsv George.polymsh.cls.sample.clslist.SampleCluster.Texture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsw Notice the extra 'sample.clslist' inserted in the middle. Using these paths, I can get a reference to the parameters using Dictionary.GetObject(), Selection.SetAsText() and so on. The question is - how can I get those paths without requiring the user to select the parameters in the scene? Matt

Re: Getting consistent path to property in scene
Not sure if this is the case, but the other day I had an issue where I was not able to get path for cls uv properties. It was odd becuase it worked for a single object in a loop but not for others. The only solutions I found to use dynamic dispatch for the objects created. It totally solved the issue for me. But that is the case for python.

Re: portal light doesn't allow additional lights

RE: Getting consistent path to property in scene
I am having the issue with clusters and anything inside of them. So, yes, it is related. I reported a similar issue with paths for parameters used in ICE trees a few years back as the paths would be different depending how you obtained them, but that was eventually fixed. The specific items I'm having problems with the most are properties of type 'uvprojdef' which is the _Def property that resides directly under a texture projection (property of type 'uvspace'). If I select the _Def in the scene explorer, I get the correct paths. If I obtain the _Def through any means in scripting, I get the wrong path.

RE: Getting consistent path to property in scene
You are missing the obvious ;-) The problem is Parameter.FullName is not returning a valid path. If you use Dictionary.GetObject(), Selection.SetAsText(), XSICollection.items, etc Softimage throws an error claiming the value returned by Parameter.FullName is not valid. However, if you manually click to select the parameter (or uvprojdef in this case) in the scene explorer or the selection text box on the MCP, the correct path will be output to the script log. The problem is I cannot find a way to extract this correct path using the SDK.
