RE: ot: unreal engine
Yes, the right-click menus activate object-component mode in Maya. Apparently it is used for some commands where you need to make a hybrid object+component selection and I agree it is confusing. -- Brent From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Cristobal Infante Sent: 19 November 2014 11:04 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: ot: unreal engine Hi Nico, I agree that the inconsistency between right click (vertex) and F8 component selection mode is REALLY annoying. Hopefully the are working in unifying them since it I don't see the point of having them disjointed. It feels that if you right-click select vertex Maya should just switch to component mode..

Not knowing python scripting is a huge downside for me, so having this free rigging tool is really a huge timesaver. Step by step I'm extending this rig functionality in order to integrate my custom ( re-usable ) facial rig into the body rig and everything works fine. I'm really digging Unreal Engine 4, the Blueprint system has a similar feel to ICE, and its really intuitive :) 2014-11-18 21:32 GMT+01:00 Francisco Criado malcriad...@gmail.commailto:malcriad...@gmail.com: Nicolas, may i ask if you are using unreal toolset for rigging? thanks, F. -- Francisco Criado visual geek DCA Lab attachment: winmail.dat

Re: weightmap visible in textured view
Not perfect but a quick solution could be using two views with a different camera in each (one cam pose constrained to the other) different viewing modes per camera. Depends how accurate you need to be. Adam.

Perforce Plugins
Hi all I was enquiring about the 2015 P4GT plugins for Maya and Softimage from Perforce and I found out that they have open sourced them http://t.co/b0RzmQpfsF Kind Regards Angus table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style=width:100%; tr td align=left style=text-align:justify;font face=arial,sans-serif size=1 color=#99span style=font-size:11px;This communication is intended for the addressee only.

RE: complaints channel?
Leendert, will contact you offline to find out more about your particular issue. Jill -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Leendert A. Hartog Sent: November-19-14 6:13 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: complaints channel? So, I am a bit conflicted this morning: I am very happy with @AutodeskHelp in the Twitterverse, but at the same time rather unhappy with the handling of an unrelated query by Support over at the Subscription Center. What would be the proper channel to log an - albeit mild - complaint (about the IMHO premature closing of an in my opinion as of yet unresolved case)? And I know I can reopen the case, but that's slightly besides the point. Getting a mail stating something like we don't know what's wrong, so now we're closing the case does sound weird to me. Again: not angry or anything, merely somewhat puzzled and displeased... Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A. Hartog AKA Hirazi Blue Administrator NOT the owner of si-community.com attachment: winmail.dat

Sticking Ice Strands
Hey guys, if you have ice strands that are all curly, do you know how to make it stick to the surface of geo as is. When the emitting point sticks to deforming geo, it stretches and does dynamics etc to the strand (which normally is great, but not this time). I wish they were each frozen to the particle and just moved with it. does that make sense? Any thoughts on this? Thanks! Lawrence Nimrichter
Re: Sticking Ice Strands
If I understand correctly you need to... 1) Store the initial StrandPosition in the local particle space.(by multiplying the strandPosition array by the inverted particle transform) -- get particle transform -- invert --- multiply (strandPosition) by matrix-- set data (myLocalStrandPosition) 2) Multiply the stored StrandPosition (myLocalStrandPosition) by the current particle transform On Thu, Nov 20, 2014 at 3:34 PM, Lawrence Nimrichter xsiuse...@gmail.com wrote: Hey guys, if you have ice strands that are all curly, do you know how to make it stick to the surface of geo as is.
