Hey all, is it possible using the cache on file node to switch from reading
to writing if a file on disk is *not* found? (similar to the awesome cache
tools in emPolygonizer). Having toyed with this, I'm thinking not, since
ice doesn't seem to give us any real access to the cache gubbins or on
It's interesting to see how many modules are not yet available for
python 3.x.

Everything compiled for 64 bit. Whoever runs this deserves more than a
medal.
I was digging around and found this, Night of the Day of the Dead, the first
short film ever done in XSI. It was done during beta of 1.0 of XSI. This was
in the day when XSI only had nurbs and no particlesand a few more
crashes :)

We don't have a File Exists node -- that'd be cool to have though --
so I personally don't see how you could do this with factory nodes
presently.
That said, nothing stops you from writing a C++ ICE node that checks for files
existing.

Without a custom node, the only solution is maybe to re-compute the
particle age each frame (using your own attribute) and compare with the one
from the file. If it doesn't match, execute the simulated branch and write
it to disc. Assuming that the icecache got an attribute like age of course.
perhabs you could use 2 Cache-on-file-Nodes.
[1. Cache on File Node (Reading)] --- Execute
[Get Particle Position] - [Array from Set] - [Array Size] - [Test 0] -
[Set Data (Sim = True)]
[IF (sim = true)]
[. all your Nodes]
[2. Cache on File Node (writing)]

Vincent, thinking about this more, I'm not so sure this will work since i'm
working on a frozen cloud - there is no emitter, so there will always be a
point position. Guillaume, I shall test :).

Greg, didn't you do a couple of TV spots for a radio station with the XSI beta
before that? I seem to remember CDs dividing like amoebas.

The sad truth is the rendering integration is not as independent as one would
think or like. I've been writing mental ray shaders for a long time (10+
years), and even today am shocked how touchy Softimage is when loading a scene

Today, I couldn't repro what you described, but I saw a bunch of support

That's great for productions with short timelines as they don't have to worry
about the legacy support. The project I'm on now has been going for nearly 8
years and is expected to go for another 5-10 years. In such an environment
it's not unusual for an asset to be created and then not touched

I don't know if you guys can still call it MAX with so many scripts and plugins
holding things together. ;)
The important thing is the results. Right. And Blur does deliver amazing

Screw legacy, software will never be clean or robust if you keep adding
new stuff while while keeping all the old krusty stuff around.
If you need legacy tools use legacy software.

Hey all,
A while ago I asked how to assign random attributes to polygon islands and
I've recently revisited that task and used a couple of methods using the
get array minimum technique.
Currently I'm just assigning purely random values using a random value node
which has my custom poly island
I'm trying to automate some heavy sims by sending them via RR as a xsibatch
script, which simply starts 'playforwardsfromstart()', however i'm getting
a lot of crashes, which I'm trying to narrow down.
Before I go to far down this root, is it actually possible to simulate ice
via xsi batch? My
This pretty much sums me up also, and I've found myself asking the very

I've also been keenly following the development of FE but I'm not sure I
have the chops to put it to proper use...
