Re: Mouse
Microsoft trackball explorer...this mouse was so good for 3d. The first one I had I wore out the metal balls that the mouse ball spins on,, but found on eBay there is someone who refurbished them with ceramic balls.. Been using for the last five years now. It seems like all the trackballs I could find at the time were thumb based... But I've found that I hAve so much control with Microsoft trackball because it is the first two fingers that is moving , I like it so much I will probably buy another just in case this one dies.. Lol. Since for whatever reason they are discontinued
Re: Pre-modeled Threaded parts
Great! Thanks for the replies everyone, The blender bolt factory looks like a good fit. Thanks, -Ryan
Re: Pre-modeled Threaded parts
I was also informed about this site, In case anyone else is interested in this : http://www.mcmaster.com/ Which allows all sorts for nuts and bolts models to be downloaded in 3D format. download available on the product detail pages. -Ryan
Pre-modeled Threaded parts
Hello, Does anyone know of an online library or a add-on that allows for the creation or import of male female threaded parts real-world dimensions. Example* I have modeled a gear shift and need to add a precise female threaded part on the bottom. If I could import already made .. Then I could boolean to the poly model and export STL for 3D printing. I have always been a softimage poly modeler ...But I don't think softimage is capable of this kind of thing? Thanks, -Ryan
Delete all clusters
Is there a way to delete all clusters on about 400 objects at once? Thanks, -Ryan
Re: Delete all clusters
Perfect! Thanks so much. -Ryan
Re: Re: OT: Now that the grief over softimage, how did you get over your it on your daily basis?
How come I don't hear anything about 3dsmax, I have just started learning it ... But I like it more and more each day. Are there huge cons that I should be aware of? Anyone who has extensive experience in max...
Whats an efficient workflow for importing .IGS?
I haven't found a decent way of getting .IGS files into softimage without having to rebuild parts of the mesh. I have tried 3ds max and everything always imports flawlessly in that software, I guess this . I have tried exporting .FBX .OBJ. I can never get into softimage without issues. -Ryan
Re: aaOcean
I had this problem, I I run softimage 2013 , so i downloaded from the bitbucket aaocean download site the file Softimage_2013_rev235_stable.rar. I just figured the file Softimage_2014_rev235_stable.rar was for softimage 2014... I tried the latter, and It loaded fine! -Ryan On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 4:30 PM, Amaan Akram xsil...@warpedspace.orgwrote: Hi Francisco Peter's suggestion is on point -- give that a go to find out if you are missing any dll's Also, check the Plugin Manager and see if aaOceanDataShader is showing up there or not.

Re: 3D Printing experience on Softimage
I have done projects with softimage and makerbot 2x. Wasn't a problem...I exported as obj , and the makerware software imports it perfectly 1 SI unit = 1mm On Thu, Apr 3, 2014 at 2:13 AM, Chris Marshall chrismarshal...@gmail.comwrote: You could try using the Shapeways.com service to test some models. I've done a little dabbling and the unit size is no more of an issue than any other 3d software. You run your object through a free package called Netfabb, it tells you the scale of the object, which was 1unit=1mm, then output a .stl file. The good thing with Shapeways is it's all automated, you upload your model, it tells you how much it'll cost to be printed in the various materials, then you can order what you want.

It's the only stereo lithography printer available at that price and can print with at least 4x better / finer resolution than the extrusion based printers such as Makerbot. Even though the device is targeted for prototyping, it has enough quality to be used as final output for some applications. Down side is the print volume is quite small, your very limited on choice of printing materials (which also have relatively short shelf life), and the agents used in the process are caustic. You need to wear protective gloves to remove the output from the printer and give it a chemical bath before it's safe to hold with your bare hands - they don't tell you that part until you open the box.

Yesterday I was googling around for 3d printers. I really liked this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHAU-9VIwzk I was wondering if anyone has already start printing some 3D stuff over anyone of these 3d printers? I know there is a software that comes along with it so you can input your models and print them out. *David Rivera* *3D Compositor/Animator* LinkedIN http://ec.linkedin.com/in/3dcinetv Behance https://www.behance.net/3dcinetv VFX Reel https://vimeo.com/70551635 No virus found in this message.
