Hi Guys,
Has anyone any experience in transfering the weight map properties of a
deformer to a another object (null) using python??
I am exporting animation and mesh to a Our Engine on the iPad.
Created this so far,
root = Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Root;

One more thing,
the inconsistent file browsers. The windows 7 file browser often seems
to be standard browser for functions inside softimage. ( browsing to the
out put path of a cache for example.) It would be better if all the file
browsers were the standard xsi browser.

Try start writing out a characters mdd files within softimage and then start to
type an email to someone - especially if the character has lots of small meshes
that start writing out. EACH TIME a mesh starts writing the progress bar pops
up and takes over from anything else you are doing on

Couldn't you just give the Nulls identical names to the deformers, and then
simply load a previously saved envelope ?

Yeah this should be a part of a standard rigging workflow. It has been long
since I rigged, but when I was doing it I always kept nulls as deformers
constrained to other parts of the rig. This way you always have a clean
layer in your rig with just meshes and deformers. It then becomes very
easy
You can use a First Valid node to stop the compound from going red when no
UVs are found.
As far as I'm aware you cannot escape the thing about having your
projections all named the same.

Yes. But the idea is
1/ not use disk. Keep all lightmaps data in memory, for avoiding saves,
loads and other disk related problems.
2/ simplify the scene setup at the maximum. The custom shader shlould be as
robust and simple to use. It would be heavy for the workflow here at the
studio to add

Hi Mirko,
do you have any redraw problems / display glitches in the animation editor
