Apply Triangulate Polygon
Is there a way, when you triangulate a polymesh to change the order of the cutting? Let's say a quad plane Triangulate it cut in 2 triangles But I want the others triangles (the other diagonale) I found : Apply Invert Polygon Apply Triangulate Apply Invert Polygon Get the job done, but I was wondering if there was a more subttle way..
Re: Tim Borgmann's emTopolizer2 Experiments
Hey list, Version 2.110 of emTopolizer2 is available for Softimage 2012, 2013 and 2014, Windows/Linux 64 bit. The new version now supports instance shape animation, for an example check out the demo scene Topo_from_Particles3.scn. The addon, demo scenes, etc. can be found here: http://www.mootzoid.com/plugin/emtopolizer2 Cheers! Eric

RE: Open GL High Quality ?
What I would do is to make an ICE tree that writes the fog color based from the distance of the camera to the current vertex and write it to a CAV. The render tree can then read the CAV and multiply it to the final color. This is my suggestion because HQV doesn't support all the MR nodes and from the top of my head I don't recall any HQV supported node that can give you your surface and camera positions. Another option of course is to write custom realtime shaders for it. -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of olivier jeannel Sent: Wednesday, December 04, 2013 5:41 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: Open GL High Quality ? Ah thank's Luc Eric ! I lost the job, but how would I make a RealTime fog then ? Is there something already usable, or is there something to build with a ScalarState/RayLength ? I saw bizarre shader with ready made grid... Realtime OGL seems very opaque to me... Le 03/12/2013 17:45, Luc-Eric Rousseau a écrit : OK, since no one discussed it, here is the explanation as to why the High Quality Viewport does not implement depth cut/fog. The fog parameter in the display setting is an OpenGL 1.x feature, glFog. Like all old OpenGL features, fixed pipeline stuff, it is not implemented with fragment shaders. When you use fragment shaders, the shader must implement *everything*, lighting/shading/texturing. If it were to be fog, than it's up to that shader to implement that. When you switch to any real time shader viewport in Softimage, fog ceases to work, because it's no longer the opengl fixed pipeline driving this stuff, it's your render tree. Now, what is the HQV? It's not an OpenGL 1.x emulator, it's your render tree compiled as realtime shader format with MetaSL. When you draw a render region there is no fog. The phong in Softimage/Mental Ray does not have a fog parameter. So what you need to do is to make a render tree that implements that fog shading.

Re: emPolygonizer4 v.4.250
Much appreciated, Jens, thank you :) I am currently making a further demo scene for emTopolizer2, sort of an attempt of a Borgmannesque-Effect. Will let you know when is finished and available for download. PS: don't hesitate to request demo scenes if you need some help. emTopolizer2 can be a bit tricky to use at the beginning, because it is, well, somewhat different. So, if you need a demo scene, let me know!

Re: nurbs to mesh
you can move the uv tiles numerically, in the tools button of the texture editor, there is a transform uvs tool On Fri, Dec 6, 2013 at 3:56 PM, adrian wyer adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.comwrote: maybe i'm miss-remembering, but didn't nurbs object conversion to polygons used to give you the option to keep the UV sets intact? i have some sections of a sphere, that make up a whole sphere, they each have a uv set that covers 0-1 i want to convert to polys for use in arnold, but need those numerically accurate UV coordinates intact, this is for texturing the earth with a VERY large tiled texture map that's in 8 segments wouldn't be a problem if i could numerically move the UV tiles around on a poly mesh easily! a Adrian Wyer Fluid Pictures 75-77 Margaret St. London W1W 8SY ++44(0) 207 580 0829 adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com www.fluid-pictures.com Fluid Pictures Limited is registered in England and Wales.

RE: Friday Flashback #149
That's what I was about to say. It looks like it could have been a mockup. It's brilliant.

Re: nurbs to mesh
the behavior of the UV input boxes goes together with the “set” button – all too easily overlooked. with set checked, if you type a number in U or v, it will set this value for each selected sample (collapsing to a specific value in one go), with “set” unchecked, it will move the whole selection to this location, keeping it intact as a whole. and you can type expressions such as 1+ for moving on square to the right, or .5* to scale by half. so producing numerically exact layouts is perfectly possible.

Linear rendering Revert back configuration
Hi list, I'm a bit a shame to ask this but... I'm having trouble workin in linear mode. I've set up XSI a long time ago to work like that, and finaly I'm getting some problems. In short, my image are rendered with a gamma of 1 ,which I apply a Gamma 2.2 later in compositing. Thing is sometimes doing this just crush the noise (in dark areas). I'm no more sure of what my texture are when I see them gamma 0.45, 1 , 2.2 ? Linear Srgb ? Yep I know it sounds dumb, but since as I can recall there are at least 3 parameters in preferences to change to be either in linear or 2.2 mode, can someone easily tell me what and where should I click ?

Add operator to menu crippled?
Hi I was trying to add ice compounds to menus today and noticed that only ICE and Simulation tabs are available. I rememeber being able to add deformes to the modeling tab. Has this been deprecated in 2014, or am I doing something wrong? This was nice since no modeler needs to know the operator was cooked in ICE...

Re: Add operator to menu crippled?
Your memory may be faulty. 2014, 2013, and 2012 all add to menus in the ICE and Simulation modules only.

Re: Add operator to menu crippled?
Yeah looks like they changed it. Or hid it somewhere else. You could create a custom plug-in to register a new menu item on that menu and use the ApplyICEOp() command to do the same thing I believe though. Eric T.

RE: Linear rendering Revert back configuration
If textures are png, tga, bmp etc. they'll have usually gamma inside :) and are not linear. If you use 'automatic' mode for newly created imageclips in the preferences, they should be correctly interpreted by softimage in the first place and they will be internally de-gammaed (not sure if this word exists lol). For existing image clips in the scene, simply check the image clip node and set it to automatic. You should be fine then.
