ICE syflex tree naming tip or

2014-07-19 Thread Mirko Jankovic
Wondering if there is solution to this.
I have an character with an simple ICE syflex robe all set up.
There is body mesh collision beside others.

When model is imported into new scene everything works fine
But if models then duplicated or imported again it is named differently
so you have Character and Character1 models in scene, collision on second
character is not working as it is loos for name for first model.
Example
Collision node mesh in model is *Get Character.body*, when imported again
model now is Character1 so collision node needs to be renamed to
*Get Character1.Body*, but it is still *Charater.Body* so collision on mesh
inside second character is not working.

Anyway shouldn't it change model name automatically or is there way to make
ti that way so once model is imported again or name of the model changed it
would always use:

Get model.mesh

A bit confusing explanation but I think you know what I aim at.
Not that big issue as cloth will be simulated in separate scene on cached
body mesh and then also cached and brought back for rendering but still
curious to figure it out as I was planing to have realy low poly cloth
version right inside anim scene for fast previews.

Thanks

Sounds like you could rename the get data node to *this_model.Body*

Yup all of your ice tree references should be to self.*** or this_model.***
which makes it far easier to reuse.

I tend to concatenate nodes these days for safety's sake, so if I'm using
this_model in several data nodes I'll seperate it into its own data node
and pipe it into whatever needs it.

I've just watched this sculpting in Modo video and remembered of this

this role series of Modo videos are pretty nice..

 Anyways try both and see how the workflow works for you from start to
 finish and the one that takes you better where you want to go, that I think
 it where you'll get your answer.

 The problem is there hasn't been a demo version of ZB for dog ages, so
 you can't try both extensively enough unless a friend who owns it helps out.

 3DCoat only has two weeks in demo I believe, so you'd better make sure
 you have time set aside and some training at hand for the basics, but to be
 honest I do maintain the lite version is simply worth buying outright for
 what it costs and how accessible it is (steampowered).

 As for the license, as Paul says, it's been reworded. Not sure it's been
 all of six years since I have clear memory of a multi directional cluster
 hump of a thread only three years ago we had to moderate, but it certainly
 has changed from 4.0 and on (I did bother reading it), he just kindly asks
 you don't use it for evil but doesn't reserve himself the right to deny you
 upgrades if he doesn't like your website any longer.
