Re: SetValue question...
I use a simple script with for loops to log me the obj type, properties,
parameters, nested objects and its values. For these simple tasks I find it
faster than searching in the SDK explorer.

LogMessage( object.Type ) will tell you the object ‘type’

You can use the SDK Explorer (CTRL + SHIFT + 4) to inspect scene items to
get the above information, but if you want something more inline with your
coding environment, that falls on your IDE. I use Microsoft visual studio
2012 which gives you full access to the properties and methods of objects
in the debugger for scripting (VBScript, JScript), C# and C++. Not sure if
it supports Python. It might, but I haven’t checked.

While primitive, the softimage script / text editors have one benefit –
you don’t have to run Application.UpdatePlugins() each time you make
changes to your code. Softimage will do it automatically upon saving your
changes.

Thanks a lot for the awesomely clear explanation Matt. I'll start getting
into the Object Model documentation and see what I can start using.
Just to cut it a bit shorter, what are the standard inspection methods
available in Softimage (using Python)? I would like to be able to inspect
the classes and properties for any given object (from an OO perspective,
not necessarily scene objects) if possible.
Thanks again!

SetValue() and the accompanying GetValue() are commands. Commands
essentially work from scratch every time they are invoked.
When using SetValue() to set the name of the cluster in your example,
SetValue() needs to parse the string of the cluster name and the ‘.Name’
parameter, then search the entire scene graph to see if that parameter
exists. If so, set the value as specified in your arguments (test).
Actions performed by commands are logged in the script editor and often
invoke events or other validations of the application before the task(s)
are allowed to be performed or completed. While functional and flexible,
you can imagine this loop of having to re-parse the entire scene graph to
set a value can be rather inefficient. Enter the Scripting object model.
The scripting object model is similar to working with a DOM in a web
browser or other application where the graph is exposed for direct
manipulation. The methodology of working in the object model is to get a
reference to an object (node) in the graph, then use the object’s available
methods and properties to do work. Because you have a reference to an
existing object, you don’t have to explicitly get names of things you want
to manipulate. You can work in more generic and abstracted terms to make
your code more universal and bulletproof. Although you’ll often have to
write more code to do the same work in the scripting object model compared
to commands, your code will be significantly more efficient as it doesn’t
have re-parse the scene graph for every operation you want to carry out,
nor will it trigger many of the validations and events. Actions performed
using the object model are also not logged, so that overhead is eliminated
as well.
Rewriting your code using the scripting object model would look something
like the example below (Jscript). I added ‘a lot’ of verbosity and error
checking for learning purposes, so don’t let the size of the code scare you
away. The name of the game is to get a reference to an object in the scene
graph (provided by the selection in this case), then traverse that graph
using the obtained object’s properties and methods until you get what you
want. Notice I didn’t use any commands in the entire code snippet. If you
remove the LogMessage() statements and run this on a large polygon
selection you’ll find it runs much faster than anything using SetValue().

Re: ICE Shape Node expressions linked to Custom Property Parms breaking on reload
Though, as a small word of warning, the tools in the user menu do a straight name swap. So if you have a model called 'Bob' and a shape name called 'Bob_smiling' it'll rename that Get Data node to 'this_model_smiling', making it go that lovely shade of red we all know and love. Not a game-ender by any stretch, just something to keep an eye out for. Might be that they've fixed it since anyway.

Adding points to curve with object model in python
Hey guys, I have this script that creates a curve and then adds points to it. Right now I'm doing this through the basic command: Application.SIAddPointOnCurveAtEnd(createdCurveName, x, y, z, False, 0, ) This is quite slow and I would like to replace this with an implementation using the object model, but can't find the corresponding method(s) to do it. I can do this in C++, but I'd rather not rewrite the whole script or break this out into it's own command. I'm looking for an object model method to add points to a curve or a method to create a curve with points based on a predefined array.

Skin shading

[Job] Blur's looking for a Character Rigger
Hey guys, I thought it might help if I post that here : *Blur Studio is looking for an experienced Rigger with knowledge of Softimage rigging tools including; joint and skeleton creation, skinning and weighting, IK setup, blend-shapes and deformers. Qualified candidates should have a solid understanding of anatomy and articulation of realistic humans and creatures. Experience with Python is strongly recommended. Basic modeling skills as well as a good understanding of polygonal mesh flow and traditional animation principles is a bonus. * *Please submit reel, resume and salary requirement to j...@blur.com* * * I'll be the one reviewing the applications and I'd like to add that I'll be paying attention to the quality of the deformations. Lot's of high quality production work to do. Knowledge of python/softimage sdk is definitely a plus (I could use help to develop tools here !) Also, I know it's sad but we might not be able to get a visa (No H1B left for this year), so we will probably consider American or people with a US work visa first. But you can still apply anyway. thanks, Jeremie -- To unsubscribe: mail softimage-requ...@listproc.autodesk.com with subject unsubscribe and reply to the confirmation email.
