.hdr image for light rig

2013-08-18 Thread Doeke Wartena
hi,

i'm working threw the lightning articles of the softimage documentation.
There is a part about making a light rig from an image.

http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/userguide/index.html

I was wondering if anyone could show me a result and if someone has a good
suitable .hdr file for me so i can try it myself.

Re: Dealing with CAD files format

2013-08-18 Thread Daniel H
When I go through Import FBX / Autocad .dxf all I get is a centered null
even from the most simplistic DXF file containing a circle or a box. Does
DXF import in Softimage 2014 just NOT work at all?

Small Annoying Things to fix in Maya/Max is a forum by autodesk where one
can post small bugs or miss-designs to be fixed in those pieces of software.
That is what Ales was referring to.

annoying things are rather uncommon.

how hard it is to remove MainWin from Linux? If you guys can make
Softimage 100% Linux native then you guys can have multiple
installation targets, like Houdini.

that would be s wonderfulll - its by the way a non commercial project

 You would need to use Polygonal Description and Point Position attributes.
 I think you can write a custom ice node to do some math and output the new
 pointposition.

Architectural shader and environment reflections

2013-08-18 Thread Adam Sale
Good evening everyone. I've been having an issue with Reflections using the
Arch shader and environments that I can't recall coming across before. I
haven't been able to repro consistently.

Its basically an issue of triangular artifacts showing up in on the surface
of the object. In some cases, replacing the arch shader has done the trick,
but not every time that the issue has occured.

Is this something others have come across? When I try this with simple
primitives, things seem to work ok, but I see the problem crop up in my own
objects.

Workarounds?

Adam
