Momentum

These links include builds both for win and linux 64bits + documentation and

It was a lot of fun to make tools and various tech stuff in ICE, thanks all

Hopefully those plugins still can be usefull.

We've had a pretty good run. For me, I remember starting on the original si3d 
list with many of you original si adopters. There were so many heavyweights on 
the list, i drank in all of the information being shared for months before i 
felt knowledgeable enough to post something intelligent. That was back when 
Beckman hosted the si archives.  Then there was the infamous discussion list in 
the days where Porl and Kim led the Fnar'ing, Christine posted her cartoons, 
and Ed was the cheesemeister. Many of you on this list have been some of my 
best mentors, advisors and friends, and have felt like a part of my extended 
family for nearly 20 years. Like I said to start this post, it's been a pretty 
good run.

Hi List,


I have a new version of LK Lightning for you today. I hope you don't mind my 
posting it here.
The headlining feature for version 2.5 is Stages which allows you to create 
much more complicated behaviours by assigning different sets of controllers to 
particles based on which stage they are in.With these stages also comes a new 
category of compounds. Triggers that allow you to move particles between 
them.You can assign a new stage to strands that have been split off as well and 
thus give them a different set of rules. This is something that was requested 
many times by 2.0 users and is indeed super useful.Additionally there are a 
bunch of other useful tools for particle effects in here that stem from an 
awesome job I got to do at Digital Golem: 
http://www.digitalgolem.com/portfolio/detroit-electric-sp01/

LK Lightning is also free for everyone now.
With Softimage going EOL I just don't feel good charging people for an 
extension to a software that has been sentenced to death.Freelancers and 
companies who've approached me wanting to buy LKL in the past couple of months 
have already received it free of charge and with the new version I'm making it 
available to everyone.
I hope that the community can put 2.5 to good use and hope to still see many 
awesome projects made with it and Softimage.
You can get LK Lightning 2.5 here: http://leonardkoch.com/download/

like the idea of using something like UserVoice - I think IdeaScale is a
good solution as well.  Voting sites make it easier to quantify what the

Maybe we need to go back to a multi-address list system like we had in the old 
days. There was the discussion list, which was all fun/monkeys/cheese/Porl and 
there was the Softimage list, which is pretty much what we are using now. There 
were even other lists like eddie, particle, etc.. (Yea, I’m old..) Anyway, we 
could have this list stay a Softimage list and create another one for all the 
gloom and doom. 

 

Perfect!

 

Now get to work Autodesk listproc person! ;)

Can anyone recommend a good storyboard software?
One important feature we would like to have is the ability in frames and
other frames will automatic re-order themselves.

Thanks,

Tracking eye-lines

[Scott Lange]

Happy Monday Folks,

 

Any suggestions on tracking eye-lines in live action to follow a 3D
character? I haven't had to do this before, to this level of specificity. I
am pretty good on general tracking, just looking for something to save me a
little time. 

 

Thanks

Google SketchUp export

[Scott Lange]

Anyone know if the export out of SketchUp PRO has any better features than
the standard free version of SketchUp for the actual export into the
Crosswalk/.dae import into Soft? 

 

The problem I am having are some issues with the organizational structure
and scaling/orientation of the exported models from SketchUp.

 

Graci!

RE: Google SketchUp export

Thank you Alan...Do you happen to know off hand if the trial version of pro
will allow me to export in either FBX or OBJ? If not I will just try it, I
just would prefer to avoid that if I can. I appreciate it!

 

 

Collada support is the same in both free and Pro, but the Pro has other
formats it supports including FBX (which will probably yield you better
output) and good ol' reliable OBJ.

RE: In case you missed it..

[Scott Lange]

Facebook? ok but I am speaking in general.

I see Softimage as being portrayed, inaccurately, incompletely and
inefficiently in regards to the positioning it is getting in the general
sales and marketing arenas. The recent suggestions are a great way to show
what Softimage actually is however it needs better positioning. 

Thank you for listening.

OK cool, thanks for the tip.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing a command or operator that might
get me there.

I need some practice scripting anyway, so I'll try to do something using an
OM instead.

You could try with spacer nulls for each geo - snap to their current POS -
then direction constrain them to a null in the center of the globe - parent
each geo to it's respective null and freeze transforms - you could do this
once and use a quick hacky script to iterate through the remaining ones if
they are named with a number.  Once frozen xforms you could unparent if you
need to.

I'm not sure how to accomplish this, I am drawing a blank at the moment...

A modeler build a globe and cut up the continents into little pieces, the
orientation needs to point toward the center of the globe so they can
animate out on a local y axis. Is there any way to globally make the center
axis to point towards a null or to global 0 without moving the individual
objects? The geo is properly oriented, but the center points are all at the
same default rotation.

 So is there a Montral team still? Or is it over?

 

 

That is my question as well.  

 

Who has left, who’s still on the product, and who is in the process of moving 
on if they haven’t left already?

 

I’m not panicked, but one thing that separated Softimage from other products is 
the amount of interaction with the development team.  While it’s nice to see a 
hello message, it would be nicer to get an idea of the scope/magnitude of this 
change so we the customer can make our own adjustments to how we do things.  
I’ve been around Softimage for 20 years (come July), and as Brad mentioned 
earlier I’m part of the group that pre-dates the current product’s existence.   
In that time I have seen plenty of people come and go, but not wholesale like 
this.
