Orthographic Cam renders
Hi list, I'm having some weird aspect issues rendering from Orthographic camera. Firstly, is it wise to render from this camera? Second, I'm rendering a format of 4096x808 with aspect ratio set to 5.0693. There are animation keyframes on the camera's local rotation, position and FOV angle. If I do a pass render the aspect changes(stretched in Y) in the rendered frames when the camera moves. If I do a preview or render current frame...all's good. I've checked all settings in the camera properties and render pass output resolution and output format...they are all set to the above rez and ratio. The format and ratio is for d3 projection. TIA, sorry if this seems like a noob request. Royston

Re: Help! Problems with referenced models Mixer.
When you say the settings are default - that may be your problem. The default delta settings are way too open. If you untick save changes to mixer in the delta, and clean out any saved references to it in the delta, it should respect that. http://darkvertex.com/wp/2010/02/21/clean-softimage-deltas/ may help.

Even when we delete the Mixer altogether and save it out as a new scene, the Mixer would magically reappear upon reloading this newly saved scene. All of the settings in the referenced model Delta are default, and the model that’s being referenced has no innate animation/Mixer/Delta information to speak of and functions fine in other scenes. I am at my wits end and have no idea what may be causing this issue or how to even reproduce it. Has anyone run into this kind of problem and what are your solutions? Thank you so much!

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
Are you sure you're not changing to Raycast Polygon mode? I can't repro that. If you use the options inside the Select Menu / Modes it will change the selection mode and selection tool to whatever you are selecting. So if you are using this option and select Raycast Polygon your tool will be a raycast no matter what you were using before. If you use the buttons under the Select Menu it will only change the selection mode (filter). Raycast Point isn't very useful. I would recommend you these two options: 1. Use lasso to select points in front, and rectangle to select all points. or 2. Change your preferences to select Raycast in Shaded Mode with the Rectangle tool. This way you can switch between wireframe (or xray) and shaded to select backfaces.

I was thinking about this thing.

If you use the options inside the Select Menu / Modes it will change the selection mode and selection tool to whatever you are selecting. So if you are using this option and select "Raycast Polygon" your tool will be a raycast no matter what you were using before. If you use the buttons under the Select Menu it will only change the selection mode (filter). Raycast Point isn't very useful. I would recommend you these two options: 1. Use lasso to select points in front, and rectangle to select all points. or 2. Change your preferences to select Raycast in Shaded Mode

plotting animation and sending too cinema 4D?
Alembic is not an option unfortunatley. I'm going from XSI 2014 too an older version of cinema.

Envelope Operator funkyness
I'm seeing something a little bit odd, and I was wondering if it was normal, or if someone else had seen it before. I've got a quite complex mesh that I'm enveloping to a set of nulls. Everything is ok. I then do a Smooth Envelope Weights on the mesh, and then maybe tweak some weights using the Edit Weights table. Once I'm done, if I take the Envelope operator and mute it/unmute it, I can see the verts of the mesh shift positions. Sometimes (on other meshes) its by a super tiny bit. Other times (as in this mesh) it is more noticeable. I was wondering why this would be. Am I doing something that somehow disturbs the "rest shape" of the mesh stored by the operator (if it is that way how it works)? Can this cause problems down the road? Can it be prevented? Thanks for any comments! --
Re: Envelope Operator funkyness
Taking a closer look, this is happening when I do the mesh binding. The mesh shifts a bit right away (no need to go through the weights editing step). Could it be related to transforms stored in the nulls I'm using to deform the mesh? I don't see how something like this could have been introduced, since all nulls were created by a script... anyway, just exploring all the options. Thanks for any help!

Re: Envelope Operator funkyness
If your nulls have moved since you initially did the bind yes. Select the mesh Envelope Reset Actor. Watch for a shift of one of the nulls. One probably has moved for some reason. If your nulls are in a good place where you want them, you can use the current positions of the nulls for the bind pose but selecting all of them and doing a Envelope Set Reference Pose.

RE: Envelope Operator funkyness
Yes, also you may have inadvertently moved the 'center' (Button top right) of the skin element after the mute. Reset the center if that the case. Also, doing a “set reference poses” should alleviate this, I think you must do it on the deformers (bone elements) and skin.

Re: Envelope Operator funkyness
Thanks a lot guys! Set Reference Pose fixed it. I'm not sure how the pose could have changed, since as I said, these nulls are created by a script, and they are cluster constrained to a mesh, so I would not be able to move them. Anyway, the problem seems to be gone. Great! One more new thing learned today :-) . Cheers!

I think he's referring to the Static_KineState transforms. Out of curiosity, what bad things can happen from neutral poses on meshes and deformers?

Re: what
I love Houdini and I love the sneak peeks they've been doing for the v13. The quality and the robustness of the software is not to be proved anymore, and seeing them taking the piss of their own features by using self-derision shows that they are also a cool bunch and can have fun, unlike the very formal, serious and boring prejudices that everyone has about them. I think that's a clever approach and it shows that they've got balls to do things unlike almost every other boring sneak peeks out there. And having heard about the quality and friendliness of their dev team, I can only respect this choice even more.

RE: what
The mail lists changed when Softimage was acquired by Autodesk. Under Microsoft/avid, there were several lists, most with digest versions available (xsi, si3d, particle, discussion, ...). In the latter years just before selling to Autodesk, most of the mail lists were terminated from declining usage leaving only the xsi mailing list and its digest form. Under Autodesk the xsi mailing list (this list) was moved to a new server. I don't believe a digest version has been available since that move took place.

RE: Help! Problems with referenced models Mixer.
Thanks for the tips Matt. In the end what appears to fix our problem was, I deleted an unrelated, offloaded model from the scene, and subsequently the referenced models that were acting up started to function normally again. I guess the Delta on this offending offloaded refmodel was somehow interfering with the others? It’s really weird. Does anyone know how that could have happened? Thanks again anyways. If you hadn’t mentioned Alan’s informative guideline to refModel Deltas, I would have never thought to look at other models’ Deltas for any clues.

All of the settings in the referenced model Delta are default, and the model that’s being referenced has no innate animation/Mixer/Delta information to speak of and functions fine in other scenes. I am at my wits end and have no idea what may be causing this issue or how to even reproduce it. Has anyone run into this kind of problem and what are your solutions? Thank you so much!

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
Chances are you've been told this before, but on the off chance you haven't - learning to work in the Softimage's interaction/hotkeys way will pay off in a very near future. There are many reasons people prefer Softimage over other software and this is one of them. Using shortcuts for different sub-objects modes is extremely useful: - T for point - Y (rectangle) and U (raycast) for poly - E (rectangle) and 'i' (raycast) for edge - when in rectangle mode (regardless of sub-object) pressing shift+F10 will activate a rectangle-raycast hybrid mode. Just try it if you don't know what I'm talking about
Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
Oh, you have to be in the default (XSI) mode in order for these hotkeys to work. You can also find them under the (upper-right) menu 'Select' On Thu, Oct 31, 2013 at 4:09 AM, CatalinM Nistor creator3dstu...@gmail.comwrote: Chances are you've been told this before, but on the off chance you haven't - learning to work in the Softimage's interaction/hotkeys way will pay off in a very near future.

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
The only reason that anyone should use the Maya layout is for animation in my opinion. Keying tools are at your finger tips then. For normal day to day stuff, the Softimage default layout (with some minor customization) is the way to go.

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
I personally stick with XSI's interaction/hotkeys when animating also. I just switched the functions of K with D (and their combos, shift+K, alt+K) since duplicate tool (D) I rarely if ever use it.

If you're left-handed, you'll find the XSI keymap much more friendly than the Maya layout.

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
Since SI doesn't have the spacebar menu Maya has, the Maya keymap isn't very functional but I don't think you need to change to SI keymap. Using Maya as a base and customizing it as you get used to SI and learn new commands shouldn't give you any problems or disadvantages against a natural SI user. I have to use Maya a lot and my brain can't switch fast enough between using ALT and S +mouse clicks differences for navigation, so to avoid that delay and inevitable mistakes, I use a customized Maya based keymap mixed with my favorite SI keys, I did the same with Maya and also use Max with Maya navigation.

Maya keymap is set up for a right handed user as all the navigation keys are on the left side of the keyboard. If you're a left-handed user, Maya is not so friendly.

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
About Paint Selection, is there any way to know that Paint Selection is activated so I can write a toggle button? I like paint selection for some things like symmetry selection, or slowly making a big selection. When I'm modeling I need to select and deselect very quickly all the time, and paint selection doesn't deselect without having to change your selection tool. Because of that and not working well with edges selection, for quick raycast selections (points and edges) haven't find a better tool than lasso.

Re: SI selections driving me nuts...
Yeah but the good thing with a lasso is that I only use 1 key when selecting and moving points and edges : lasso, move, select, move. And if the point is not easily selectable, back again to lasso, select and move. That's why I don't use paint select for these tasks, I need to press too many keys.
