Creation: Horde - new Softimage integration

[Paul Doyle]

Hi guys – I've held off posting any updates on Horde as I knew we had a
sweet Softimage/ICE integration in the pipe. The nice thing with our
locomotion system is that it lends itself well to closer shots when you're
working with a few characters - and combined with ICE that makes for some
really interesting options. Helge has only scratched the surface with this,
but already you can see just how awesome the combination is.



1)  Reel: https://vimeo.com/61358674

2)  Maya integration info:
http://fabricengine.com/creation-modules/inside-maya/ (there's more of a
breakdown here that we don't duplicate in the Softimage section, so I
recommend looking here first).

3)  Softimage integration:
http://fabricengine.com/creation-modules/inside-softimage/

4)  Main page: http://fabricengine.com/creation-modules/horde/


We're currently in closed alpha/beta - if you're a commercial studio and
you'd like to help with the testing program, please drop me a line.

 Cheers,

 Paul

After you save... The data in memory isn't saving to disk properly as it's 
exceeding it's limit.

Re: scene size limit

[Eric Thivierge]

Is that before or after you save your scene that becomes corrupt?

Re: scene size limit

[Chris Chia]

Yes Rob and Stephen are right.
Just be careful and it's better to move to 2014 if you constantly work on big 
files.

As for Linux, I think it got to do with our Mr Mainwin... Not sure the exact 
reason. But if u do encounter more than 2gb file, we do provide warning message 
to notify the users.

Re: scene size limit

[Rob Wuijster]

2Gb limit was a 32bit filesize issue. I had this problem quite often 
when doing fluid sims in Maya in the past.
Most annoying thing was that the files were accessible, but only showed 
the sim up till the point the file became 2Gb ;-)

Hi Adrian,
You have to work in 2014 to enjoy the "more than 2GB" benefit. In earlier
version, if the file is more than 2GB, then the file is not saved correctly.
2014 would be able to allow you to save it correctly.

Can you do a merge scene and try to export the compound out into 2014?

working with heavy point cloud data in 2013SP1

 

scene size ended up being just a nat's over 2Gb

 

now i can't open the scene due to it's size being over some arbitrarily
decided limit

 

although 2014 has no limit, it can't open the scene...

 

have i just lost a couple of days of work? is  my scene file corrupt?

 

if so.. thanks whoever decided that 2Gb was 'more than enough' !

I don't work on the Softimage docs anymore, but you should log a bug for the

Well, that might not be possible for all of us, as Autodesk might not need that

AND there might be the minor problem that not all of us speak c++ .

But seriously, I think this kind of info should be documented in the specific

If I remember correctly, the Group Geometry node will re-size any 2D arrays to 
the smallest on in the group. So the new point cloud could will miss some data 
(incomplete strand positions for example). I didn't double check it, but just 
in case :).

Hey Adrian,

I would recommend to collect all your pointclouds with a group Geometry node and plug it into a 
"Generate Sample Set" with emission type set to "Point" and Rate type to "all 
Points" Rate should be set to 1.
then you can get whatever data is in the pointclouds via a "self.emitlocation" 
and pull the data you need from this Location.
you will get a red node if there are custom attributes that are not valid for 
all clouds. You can avoid that by setting fake values on the clouds that miss 
them.

hope that works for you!
