Point caching errors
Hey all, I'm getting this error sometimes in my scene, I have a lot of cached objects in there... any ideas if it's possible to pin this down any better? It's only throwing the error when the object is visible so that's a start. It would just be nice if it told me which object! *# ERROR : 2000 - Caching : Point counts don't match.* cheers!

Re: Point caching errors
If you are using cache manager check that cache for objects AND objects that cache will be applied are in same order in left and right window where you load them both. for example if on left window are selected point caches for mouth, tongue, body from up to down, then in the right window where you add objects for applying cache the order has to be same so again mouth, tongue, body from up to down. I had some similar problems with selection order before applying.

Re: Awkward center of object after freeze transform
We are using only Softimage 2011 here at work so I can't open your file. Freeze SRT aligns the center of the object with it's model center. Pivot and Center are different concepts, so be sure you are not confusing them. Just to be sure, reset your pivot like Jack said. You could try moving your center manually, just select your center and move it, rotate it and or scale it. This should do something similar to Freeze Translation: // JScript var obj = selection(0) Translate(null, -obj.posx.value, -obj.posy.value, -obj.posz.value, siRelative, siGlobal, siCtr, siXYZ); M.Yara On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 6:19 PM, Greg Maguire g...@inlifesize.com wrote: I don't have an late enough version of Soft installed.

RE: Awkward center of object after freeze transform
Thanbks Guys, We use 2014, and model format wouldn't help too much since there's no backward compatibility. I tried all the reset transforms, etc, that's the issue. The center is not where it should be. When I display the center, it's not at the same position as the transform manipulator display in local mode, but all the transform data are zeroed (Scaling is 1). So the transform should be in the origin, but it's not. There is no neutral pose too.

How to bake animation data for Exporting Unity3D
Hi I am trying to export a charactor rigged with Gear to Unity 3d, and having issue now. Because FBX diesn't support implicit object, i get a lot error messages. Message show me to convert implicit dara to geometry, but don't know how. I like to try baking animation data, and export with FBX only mesh. Anyone have an idea how to do this?

Re: Awkward center of object after freeze transform
What is not in the origin? the center or the manipulator? The manipulator is aligned with the pivot, not the center. Is your model node also frozen?

Re: How to bake animation data for Exporting Unity3D
You can use a command to convert the implicit to real geometry - I tested it and it works fine here and keeps animation - I did not check constraints etc.. Application.Convert(MeshSurface, 'torus' ) This converts an implicit torus called torus to an equivalent mesh. S.

Re: Point caching errors
I'm not using cache manager so I guess that doesn't apply?.. I've made a compound that gets a string from a property on the model (which is the path of the cache files), add's that to a string of the object name and pipes that to the cache on file node. Then I apply that compounds to loads objects on an ice tree via a script. That's working nicely but I just have some errors here and there, cache out of range, cache the correct number of points.. When really it's pretty much all find to render - so I might just need to get deadline to ignore those errors and I might be okay. Would still be nice to try and pinpoint which objects have the wrong number of points though!

Re: How to bake animation data for Exporting Unity3D
I have done this before and the best way is to : 1. Plot all your deformers (I am assuming that deformers are nulls, as they should be always). 2. Remove all the rig elements (except the deformers ). 3. Export the FBX. This should work in unity.

Limiting stretching on a series of surface constraints
Hey guys, I was hoping someone could help me out with this question. If i needed to limit the ability of stretching on a series of nulls that are surface constrained to a nurbs ribbon how would i go about doing it? On a nurbs curve i always just divided the original length of the curve, by the new length, then multiplied the path cns percentage by that offset, worked just fine, pretty standard stuff but is there an easy way for me to find the length of a nurbs surface? I cant find anything in ICE that does that easily for me or anything in the SDK. If there was Any help would be appreciated, I feel a bit silly asking, I bet its pretty simple. -Enrique
Re: How to bake animation data for Exporting Unity3D
deformers in GEAR are implicit models not nulls. Need to create shadow rig when creating rig from guide. after that process is straight forward. 1. plot evreytthing with shadow rig selected (select child nodes) 2. remove all constrains after plot 3. add mesh to selection and export everything to FBX Also inside unity you need to select these options under rig: Animation type - Legacy Generation - Storein Root (New) That works fine. Maybe some other options could be needed and worked well for some other situations for this works plain and straight forward On Mon, May 13, 2013 at 2:38 PM, Alok Gandhi alok.gandhi2...@gmail.comwrote: I have done this before and the best way is to : 1.

render region opacity?
Is there any way to make the render region non-opaque? I'd like the render region to partially reveal the wireframes and scene underneath and it would be really useful if I could control the visibility(transparency?) of the region. Is that possible? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party.

Re: Awkward center of object after freeze transform
I'm at home now, and opened your scene in SI 2014. You're using Pivot and Pivot Compensation. That's why you are having awkward results with Freeze SRT. You need to reset the pivot before Freeze SRT it. Open Your Local Transform properties, look for Pivot, and preset Reset Pivot.

RE: render region opacity?
You'll need to apply an output shader and modify the alpha channel transparency to your liking. An output shader is a shader which executes after rendering has completed and is given the opportunity to perform an operation on the rendered image before it is dumped to file (or to screen in this case).

Hi guys, As there is not PutHelp method available in the ICENodeDef class, we can't use the little '?' icon on a custom ICE Node PPG right ? Just to be sure I'm not missing anything. Thanks, Guillaume Laforge

RE: render region opacity?
After further review, it appears Softimage broke something along the wayprobably dating back to XSI v6. The output shaders to pull this off have since been removed. The workaround would be to use a 'texture' shader which is mental ray's miscellaneous category and can be used in any context, but those shaders don't appear to work anymore either. Unless you can intercept the output via the FXTree, I think you're SOL.

You'll need to apply an output shader and modify the alpha channel transparency to your liking. An output shader is a shader which executes after rendering has completed and is given the opportunity to perform an operation on the rendered image before it is dumped to file (or to screen in this case).

Re: Custom ICE Node help button
I wanted to avoid using a compound for just one custom node, but as I need a combo list too and that custom ICE nodes don't expose any advanced PPG layout, it looks like it is the only way to go.

Re: PyQtForSoftimage with PySide support
Hi Steven, I tried to use PySide together with your PyQt4XSI plugin last year and managed to get your basic demos running after replacing some lines of code (I think it was mostly the import statements changed to point at PySide.blah instead of the PyQt ones). No real problems I can remember, but projects caught up with me and I couldn't try harder to find any. What proofed to be a major pita was (and still is) that I could not find any x64 version of PySide that includes the Shiboken Python module out of the box and is compatible with Python 2.6.x. There are a couple of pre-built packages for download both from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pyside and http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windows, but none of them includes shiboken.pyd as far as I could see. Back then I was lucky and some kind sould sent me a compatible version of the module (maybe that was even you? Sorry, I really can't recall) Meanwhile, from what I could learn from the net, the missing module seems to be due to a bug in one of the PySide build scripts and allegedly has been fixed months ago, it's just that nobody has made a new build with it and made it publicly available yet (neither Gohlke nor the maintainers of the PySide project and it's associated web pages), which is also where even I feel that PySide is less well maintained compared to PyQt, admittedly. Did you compile Qt and PySide yourself or did you find an alternate source with precompiled binaries? Ultimately, I think what's needed to get that missing module is a custom PySide build compiled against Python 2.7.x and VS2010 (for SI2014) or Python 2.6.x and VS2008 (for anything older than SI2014) and an as up to date Qt version as possible (don't know if 5.x would be a good idea, 4.8.4 seems to be the latest of the 4.x line). Early last week I finally had time to make another attempt and finally managed to compile Qt 4.8.4 for x64 against Python 2.7.4 and VS2010 (without Phonon, I skipped installing DX for now). Next on my list was to compile PySide against that build to hopefully and finally get a compatible version of this dreaded Shiboken module. But I'd rather skip all that and just use yours, though I'm still really curious as to where you got it from, in case you didn't compile yourself :-) In any way, if you still need or want more testers I'd love to give it a shot.

There are a couple of pre-built packages for download both from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~** gohlke/pythonlibs/#pysidehttp**://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/** pythonlibs/#pyside http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pysideand http://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windowshttp://qt-project.org/wiki/**PySide_Binaries_Windows http:/**/qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_**Binaries_Windowshttp://qt-project.org/wiki/PySide_Binaries_Windows, but none of them includes shiboken.pyd as far as I could see. Back then I was lucky and some kind sould sent me a compatible version of the module (maybe that was even you? Sorry, I really can't recall) Meanwhile, from what I could learn from the net, the missing module seems to be due to a bug in one of the PySide build scripts and allegedly has been fixed months ago, it's just that nobody has made a new build with it and made it publicly available yet (neither Gohlke nor the maintainers of the PySide project and it's associated web pages), which is also where even I feel that PySide is less well maintained compared to PyQt, admittedly. Did you compile Qt and PySide yourself or did you find an alternate source with precompiled binaries? Ultimately, I think what's needed to get that missing module is a custom PySide build compiled against Python 2.7.x and VS2010 (for SI2014) or Python 2.6.x and VS2008 (for anything older than SI2014) and an as up to date Qt version as possible (don't know if 5.x would be a good idea, 4.8.4 seems to be the latest of the 4.x line). Early last week I finally had time to make another attempt and finally managed to compile Qt 4.8.4 for x64 against Python 2.7.4 and VS2010 (without Phonon, I skipped installing DX for now). Next on my list was to compile PySide against that build to hopefully and finally get a compatible version of this dreaded Shiboken module. But I'd rather skip all that and just use yours, though I'm still really curious as to where you got it from, in case you didn't compile yourself :-) In any way, if you still need or want more testers I'd love to give it a shot. And as always, thanks for investing so much of your time into it. Stefan Hey Gang Tony Barbieri and I have been working on official support for PySide with the PyQtForSoftimage plugin and I need some testers... Who here wants to use PySide instead of PyQt4? It is a little rough right now so, only people that really want to use PySide should contact me. Thanks Steven -- --- Stefan Kubicek --- keyvis digital
how to bring shape animation to Unity3D
Anyone know how to bring Softimage animation to Unity3D? I tried plot shape animation and export it, but it seems not working in Unity3d. If someone knows, please let me know how to. Thanks -- --- Daniel Kim Animation Director Professional 3D Generalist http://www.danielkim3d.com ---
Re: PyQtForSoftimage with PySide support
you could take the pyside dlls from a maya 2014 install, we figured all of those compilation issues. they're compiled for python 2.7 and vc2010. these dlls won't work with python 2.6 On Monday, May 13, 2013, Stefan Kubicek wrote: SI2014 looks quite attractive due to all the bug fixes, so 2.7.4 it will be for me soon. I don't know if it's ok to mix Python versions, e.g. use Shiboken compiled against 2.6.x in a 2.7.x environment, but even if it works I'd just feel...uneasy, never knowing if the next cryptic error message is due to mixing versions, or my own fault. well that is what we are sorting out. if we need to compile our own PySide version/installer then guess what? the PySide license allows me to do that :) That's exactly what made me look into PySide too. The license is very copyleft (if that's the right term).
Re: PyQtForSoftimage with PySide support
iicky... i will just provide an installer which is just their build system run vanilla. which includes shiboken... for now until they get it together.

Re: PyQtForSoftimage with PySide support
The difference is pySide isn't licensing hell, and AD is going that way. I reckon that's reason enough to do whatever we can to speed up adoption and finding rough edges as soon as possible ;) On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 10:25 AM, Jeremie Passerin gerem@gmail.comwrote: Can I ask what's the main differences between PySide and PyQt4 ?
