FBX: all takes in one import?
While trying to evaluate akeytsu (www.nukeygara.com) I am faced with the following problem: akeytsu exports fbx files with multiple takes embedded within them. Is it possible to import all these takes in one go as separate action sources without having to suffer the scenic route of manually importing all takes one at a time? Greetz Leendert AKA Hirazi Blue
MentalRay .EXR multipass? - Is it available on SI 2015?
Hi, appearently my other post didn´t pass through. So I´m reposting again. How possible is it to render out multi-layered .exr images from mental ray from softimage? AO+Radiance+Shadows+Reflective, etc... on a single .exr? Thanks. David R. -- Portfolio 2013 http://be.net/3dcinetv Cinema TV production Video Reel https://vimeo.com/3dcinetv/reel2012

Re: Pretty OT :)
I tested this on Sunday this week.

Phones and wireless Bluetooth controllers are putting these apps across the winners! U4 vs Unity. I´m going back to Unity of course. U4 it´s like Mayathere...I said it.

SI 2015 selection in Xray
Hi, I'm having some troubles with SI2015 selection tools. In previous versions, when I used Xray in the view port I could select the bones (null as bones) that are inside the character without selecting the mesh. Now in 2015 I can't. It selects the meshes, or meshes + bones so I have to select them through the Schematic, or drag select and deselect the meshes. Is there any option there to make it work like it used to? I've been looking around without luck. Thanks
Re: animate polygon faces individually
it's cold in here. because it isn’t as simple as you think? best is to go the ICE way, disconnect/poly islands driven by particles’ SRTs works fine and fast. There was also the older ICE method, (was it guillaume’s?) exploding the object into it’s poly islands, and using them as instances on particles – but that got slow on hundreds of parts. then there is the old school non ice way: create a cluster center for each poly island and animate these directly or by pose constraining to nulls.

Re: Referenced models crashing Softimage
maybe a bit obvious, but could there be an object your setup is relaying on that is being left behind in the exporting scene? maybe you've forgotten to put it inside your model..

Re: Referenced models crashing Softimage
does it happen in one particular direction only - ex. res1 to res2 works fine but not the other way around? can you change the resolution back and forth ten times in a row on the same model without any issues? what if you change resolution on four of them, save scene, restart xsi, open scene and change the res on the 5th one? If it crashes I’d say something is wrong in the setup - but as you say, they work fine separately, so that’s hard to pin down. But if it works fine, IMO it points to a performance problem.

Re: Referenced models crashing Softimage
Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try the delta operation Mario suggested and currently I am testing if the Arnold Standin property has any influence on it. The scene is pretty simple, few overrides and nothing fancy going on. The order of switching or direction, ie. 1-2 or 2-1 makes no difference. I am actually leaning to thinking I have a semi corrupt scene, as Softimage crashes when I close the scene (Ctrl+N) and there is a group I can't inspect without Softimage crashing, so I am thinking major clean-up or rebuild anyway. This is rare for me - long time since I last had a really corrupt scene :/ MB Den 26. august 2015 kl. 10:20 skrev pete...@skynet.be: does it happen in one particular direction only - ex. res1 to res2 works fine but not the other way around? can you change the resolution back and forth ten times in a row on the same model without any issues? what if you change resolution on four of them, save scene, restart xsi, open scene and change the res on the 5th one?

Re: Momentum setup ?
I dont know, unless things seriously broke, I've done some pretty elaborate simulations (with large chunks and *tons* of tiny peices) using just the first momentum + IFX combo, and since then in subsequent MOM versions if anything suposedly got considerably faster (was already *fast*) and more directable. (and quite probably still way faster/easier than Houdini point simulations) But if you want your peices to then be say washed away by fluid particles, then Houdini would probably be best, Houdini for FX you cant go wrong, and it's community hasn't been and is unlikely to be displaced.

I checked the 'what's new' PDF and it's not in there, but for the heck of it, you can try giving each channel output the same name that's how Arnold, Redshift (and 3Delight?) go about multichannel outputs in SI. By the way, the free 3Delight for one machine now has an 8 core limit (for slightly slower path-tracing than Arnold) Cheers, On 08/26/15 15:49, Pierre Schiller wrote: Hi, appearently my other post didn´t "pass" through. So I´m reposting again. How possible is it to render out multi-layered .exr images from mental ray from softimage? AO+Radiance+Shadows+Reflective, etc... on a single .exr? Thanks.

Re: SI 2015 selection in Xray
Thanks I think that was it! I'll try installing the SP1 version. I installed 2015 when it came out but I've been using only 2014 and 2011 all this time.

Are you on sp1 ? cheers, Noël On 26 August 2015 at 12:37, Martin Yara furik...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, I'm having some troubles with SI2015 selection tools. In previous versions, when I used Xray in the view port I could select the bones (null as bones) that are inside the character without selecting the mesh. Now in 2015 I can't. It selects the meshes, or meshes + bones so I have to select them through the Schematic, or drag select and deselect the meshes. Is there any option there to make it work like it used to? I've been looking around without luck. Thanks
