ICE: Picking geo from array of some kind
Hey guys, I'm wanting to pick geometry based on an random value which I built into an array of the same size as the number of points - but I'm not sure a way to do it, I can't use geometry with* 'if'* I can't use* 'select case'*.. they don't like external geometry... Can't add them into an array, can't convert to strings then back again The only thing I can think of at the moment is to go forward into the tree, and make 3 different *'emit evenly from geometry' * which is a bit brute force eh * * I keep thinking of the way shape instance works where you pick an ID in a group... I would like that now damn... Any ideas? * * * * Simon Reeves London, UK *si...@simonreeves.com* *www.simonreeves.com* * * attachment: SelectGeo.png
Re: ICE: Picking geo from array of some kind
there is no way to do this directly with geometry directly, as far as I'm aware. what you can do though, is switch randomly through what you're expecting to use the geometry for. Like if you are getting the position of those geos, you could switch that instead of the geo itself. but you already have a draft for that. So, I'm not of real help. Anyway, good luck with what you're trying to achieve :) Vladimir On Fri, Jul 19, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Simon Reeves si...@simonreeves.com wrote: Hey guys, I'm wanting to pick geometry based on an random value which I built into an array of the same size as the number of points - but I'm not sure a way to do it, I can't use geometry with* 'if'* I can't use* 'select case'*.. they don't like external geometry...

CrowdFX emitter orientation question
Hi again, I am trying to emit from a directional emitter and then use group indexes on goals to make the different 'emitted' group go to their assigned goals - for some reason this does not work - the group index does not seem to filter through to the goal group index on the initialize collision avoidance node. So I loaded the one scene in the sample scenes that has two groups moving towards each other on curves. These actors are emitted off normal mesh geometry so I am now trying that. When I select from emitter and use a grid, the actors are rotated in random directions on spawn. According to the docs they should emit pointing down Z. Any ideas? Thanks S.

Re[2]: OT: The making of Pacific Rim
OK... I guess that's my cue then... We here at Hybride used a lot of ICE to create the motion graphics inside the Jaegers... but there's not much to say, on my part anyway. We trained our staff and created a few ICE based tools over the years so that they could do these type of effects on their own. I was mostly only involved in debugging some stuff and doing a few prototypes/suggestions of certain more complex graphic effects. I was mainly busy working on White House Down, so I've been a bit out of the loop on Pacific Rim. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't really have much information. I know there's a lot of people who worked very hard to make these graphics as cool as possible. I'm very proud of my crew who are now comfortable enough to tackle such complex motion graphic projects using ICE on their own, freeing me and my team up to focus on other more complex technical challenges. Not all graphics where done using ICE. Some stuff was done with Cinema 4D, After Effects, Fusion, Flames, etc. But the more complex graphics where pretty much all ICE based. So yeah... lots of Softimage based effects where used on Pacific Rim from many vendors... Who said Softimage wasn't used on films? We've been doing a few miracles with it for years here at Hybride and we've worked on quite a few films. You can do whatever you want with Softimage as long as you take the time to set it up properly. I'll be at SIGGRAPH with some of my RD colleagues (Guillaume Laforge, Eric Thivierge Julien Couet). Feel free to come and chat us up if ever you cross our path. We'll participate in the deep compositing birds of a feather on Monday and on the Fabric Engine birds of a feather on Wednesday, showing a preview of some of our in house tools we are working on.

Re: MT Strand Extrude for 2013/2014
I found a little disfunction when using the stCreateStrandset of compounds. Sometimes, if you're creating strands a bit differently than the usual way (EmitFromGeometry + CreateStrand) it can happen that the generated polymesh contains 0 (zero) polygon. (It happen to me when emitting from curve (indstead of point) and also when emission was set to TotalNumberOfParticle, and other exotic cases that I can't remember ) Don't ask me why, but if I add a TurbulizeStrand (with very tiny strengh (0,001)) after the Strand creation, it all goes well and the polymesh gets generated.

Re: Re[2]: OT: The making of Pacific Rim
Hi Mathieu, Thanks for making the effort to make this reply to elaborate on how you guys used ICE in the movie. Everyone here would surely benefit from this detailed description. And i'll definitely keep an eye on them when I catch the movie. Wow! Nice RD people you have gotten there ;) unfortunately I won't be going to the siggraph but will definitely tell my colleagues to look out for you people at the mentioned booth. Lastly hope to see more great works from Hybride! And do share with us here whenever a great work is done in Softimage.

We here at Hybride used a lot of ICE to create the motion graphics inside the Jaegers... but there's not much to say, on my part anyway. We trained our staff and created a few ICE based tools over the years so that they could do these type of effects on their own. I was mostly only involved in debugging some stuff and doing a few prototypes/suggestions of certain more complex graphic effects. I was mainly busy working on White House Down, so I've been a bit out of the loop on Pacific Rim. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't really have much information. I know there's a lot of people who worked very hard to make these graphics as cool as possible. I'm very proud of my crew who are now comfortable enough to tackle such complex motion graphic projects using ICE on their own, freeing me and my team up to focus on other more complex technical challenges. Not all graphics where done using ICE. Some stuff was done with Cinema 4D, After Effects, Fusion, Flames, etc. But the more complex graphics where pretty much all ICE based. So yeah... lots of Softimage based effects where used on Pacific Rim from many vendors... Who said Softimage wasn't used on films? We've been doing a few miracles with it for years here at Hybride and we've worked on quite a few films. You can do whatever you want with Softimage as long as you take the time to set it up properly. I'll be at SIGGRAPH with some of my RD colleagues (Guillaume Laforge, Eric Thivierge Julien Couet). Feel free to come and chat us up if ever you cross our path. We'll participate in the deep compositing birds of a feather on Monday and on the Fabric Engine birds of a feather on Wednesday, showing a preview of some of our in house tools we are working on. I'll also be keeping an eye on this mailing list if ever you have questions about our work.

Hi guys, As I think this tool developed at Hybride Technologies could get some interest from Softimage users, here is a teaser that I will show at the Fabric Engine user group this Siggraph: https://vimeo.com/70671257 Cheers, Guillaume Laforge RD engineer at Hybride Technologies
