Re: PLUG: Fabric 2.2 Released!

[Sebastien Sterling]

So this is to do with UI building, making it more accessible.

I suppose it is a little odd to offer an alternative to c++ coding, and
then still have c++ for building interfaces :P

Re: PLUG: Fabric 2.2 Released!

[Eric Thivierge]

The Python bindings of the UI widgets is a first step and is going to be
worked on more going forward but this means that users can now build their
own stand alone applications using Python instead of C++ to use the
provided widgets but also their own. Users can also use the canvas.py and
CanvasWindow.py files as a template to build their own application
completely from the ground up using those files as a template on how to
create a Fabric client and interact with it. Referencing the FabricUI repo
on github for those wrapped widgets helps and if you're familiar with
PySide / PyQt you'll understand them pretty easily. :)

Have a look at the Alembic Viewer as I included a few custom widgets (done
completely in Python) that interact with the graph that runs the
application to see how easy it is!

Re: PLUG: Fabric 2.2 Released!

[Steven Caron]

Basically the UI is being made in Python and some new functionality to
control the creation of Canvas with Python scripts (think Softimage's
scripting to create ICE graphs)

But it is more nuanced than that... Fabric's core has had python bindings
for a while now. The UI widgets for the Canvas application was made in C++
using Qt Framework but those widgets are now exposed so you can use them in
your own Python Qt app. Those individual widgets haven't been entirely
rewritten in Python.

It means the standalone application is now using pyqt instead of qt c++

"Python! Canvas has been converted to a Python app making it

to the Canvas python files, you can automate the creation and modification
of Canvas graphs without needing to know C++."

Does this mean Canvas is no longer powered by KL ?

I know that in ICE I can test if polygons are

Is there a simple way to do this either via

We're also shipping v1.0 of the MODO integration and have moved to the next

Hi Folks,
Wondered if there was a favoured 980ti for Redshift?

This seems to be the fastest but is it the best?

Zotac GeForce GTX 980 Ti AMP Extreme 6 
GBhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Zotac-GeForce-Extreme-PCI-E-Graphics/dp/B00YOJ91YO/ref=sr_1_2



gtx1080 released at $599 soon though.. plenty of tumbling prices straight after 
I assume.


Tricky time to buy.

Re: Alembic advices

[Morten Bartholdy]

I had this a while back when importing a bunch of motion graphics animated 
tiles from C4D - dogslow when scrubbing the timeline in XSI with abc files.

We received the alembic files from elsewhere so we did not have the luxury of 
changing what or how it was exported, so I had to make do. I found that after 
loading it once, I could merge all the tiles and then shapeplot them, and then 
get rid of the alembic operators. After that setting up renders was a breeze.

Hope this helps.

Ah, this won't do for me in the end.
I'm manipulating the intrinsic transform in Dop (Sop Solver) and it seems
the Transform Pieces doesn't read those intrinsic transform :/

 I would try a similar setup in xsi, as long as the points have a

Like this you only cache 1 point per object, and a single frame of
geometry..

it's beautiful :)

Re: Alembic advices

[Cristobal Infante]

sorry you were right, packed other wise what's the point ;)

transform pieces PORTS (from left to right)
1-> single geo (must have name attribute)
2-> point cached (must have name attribute)
3-> first frozen frame of point data

then

Transform piece of that Bgeo with the packed (point) of the Dopimport sim ?

Makes sense, will try.

Hi guys,

I'm importing some RBD simulation from Houdini, around 1500 pieces boucing
around.
I export in .abc and import with Crate (if I import with the "legacy"
alambic import, xsi crashe)

The thing is, it is super-super slow.
I end up with 1500 objects and XSI doesn't like this much.

What are the proven solutions to import an rbd sim and decently work ?

Re: redshift - best 980Ti

Hi Matt,

I'll look into that, cheers. I was going to get a new card as the ebay

like a better bet.

Has anyone experienced any preferences for make?

EVGA, MSI, ASUS... is there any real difference?

Cheers,
