Re: Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[Tenshi S.]

Hi, i'm not into coding, but if it's something easy as replacing some lines
i could try. I've using the Softimage 2014SP2 as my base, i have installed
the 2015(soon i'll update that), for Mudbox i have the last 2014, and the
last 2015 versions. I'm not planing to use Softimage 2015 until SP2 comes
out, so i would love to send files from Mudbox 2015 to Softimage 2014, and
viceversa. I know in practice it's impossible but in theory what you say
could work.
Hope you could remember what you need to do or test that again, it could
help a lot of guys here. Thanks,

 That´s the only green bracketed (highlight what´s new option = 1) I

Re: Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[skuby]

I've manually fixed this in the past with version mis-matches.
"C:\Users\All Users\Autodesk\Synergy\".  Somewhere in there you'll find
editable files that are in ascii.  It might take a little trial and error,
but last I remember I figured the whole thing out and had it working in 10
minutes.  that got like a 2013/14 version of Soft sending/recieving to a
2015 version mb/ -something like that, been a while and I dont' have any of
the apps handy on this machine to give perfect instructions.  You will
probably have an easier time if you have an old MB 2014/2015 install which
you can refer to / copy/pasta bits from.  -pretty confident you could get
this working somehow if you really wanted

Re: Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[Tenshi S.]

I think Mudbox will be better with a tool like "Zspheres", when they put a
solution like that to create the base for models, i'll be more than happy;
because Mudbox it's easy and most of the tools necessary are there. More
brushes and presets are welcome, too.

 In the past, I found it difficult to run differently labeled versions,
 e.g. Softimage 2012
 with Maya 2014 or Mudbox 2014 simultaneously, due to lmtools telling me
 there´s
 no license available, that could well be a setup error on my end or a

 that Softimage2015

Re: Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[Tim Leydecker]

a 1:1 copy of some of the best ZBrush brushes (dam standard springs to 
mind)
would have been nice, something ZBrush Dynamesh as a surprise extension, 
too.


How about some new presets, some vector tooltips/brush images, just a 
little well deserved love.


Mudbox is so nice in how easy it can be picked up and used (compared to 
ZBrush´s GUI and methodology)

it´s sad that it´s been left out like that.

Still, I took the treetrunk example, retopoed, subdivided it to some 50 
million polygons by mistake and Mudbox

kept itself responsive...

For a new version one will expect something more. At least 10 features and

Or maybe people that want it and want it to work in what isn't a dead
software yet should write to AD and point out they find it inappropriate
that it was removed for what is solely the sake to keep the version numbers
in line ;)

Relax. I don´t want to miss the new Relax  brush in Mudbox 2016.

That´s the only green bracketed (highlight what´s new option = 1) I

Mudbox to Softimage, It's something i'll miss a lot then, it works really

It would be a very welcome functionality, especially when being dealt

e.g. Softimage 2012

Because it's not a redundant copy of I/O commands with presets, it also
keeps the data in sync instead of forcing you to unload/reload.
It was actually pretty useful, and I don't know why people insist it didn't
work, it worked fine. When I was still using Mudbox I used it frequently
enough without issue.

Of course it does work and I can personally vouch for it's production value as 
a time saver. I did introduce this tool to a few artists while working at 
Modus. They were more than happy to use it. Although, the  fbx format always 
seemed buggy due to version conflicts. But for transfer of limited data, it 
worked well. I think it was used a lot. Specially in the pre-alembic era.

right... one thing though, send to is just a wrapper that automates
calling FBX import/export menu command. You just have to do it
manually when the Sent To option is not available.  Same result.

1.) afaik there will be no Softimage 2016.
2.) The "Send to" functionality only works across applications of same  
version number, hence from one 2016 app to another,

not from 2016 to one from 2015.
3.) Since the version of Softimage bundled with ECS Ultimate 2016 will be  
version 2015, "Send to" does not work and has been removed.


Read: "Our programmers would need to invest 5 minutes to adjust the Send  
To code in each application of the ECS (which we sell/sold to you for an  
enormous amount of money) to make it work across different versions of our  
applications (which we bought from all over the world in the first place,  
just because we could) and our fbx format (which our part-time interns  
have been working on for the last 10 years in an attempt to implement hard  
edge support and iron out the bugs from each respective previous intern).  
We hence decided it's not worth the effort, especially for an EOL software  
(for which we also took an inordinate amount of money from you)."
