RE: set raycast direction with a Null?

I couldn't figure this one out. Andy's compound used a Select Case and a rotate vector to convert the orientation of the null to a vector (Thanks Andy!). I was wondering if you could elaborate on your method if you have time. Learning the different ways to do things in ICE could come in handy in th

While I too have no doubt Lagoa can be trusted, the fact that such clauses can be standard for clouds gives me chills :s I'm positive that users wouldn't have to 'agree' to too vaguely worded (or lengthy) clauses that may be potentially compromising just by accepting to use it, and that defaul

Re: This is what I meant by AE integration

Node based workflows has the advantage of easily having the outputs of effect streams as sources very easily (visually), giving more space for complexity while remaning managable & understandable. Whereas timeline based such as AE (with stacked effects) it's easier to have longer with compos

that second video... way to name drop ILM and not making any sense. anyways, maxon has done a great job! it would be difficult to match with softimage, at least the rendering part. cinema has its own renderer so they can implement their renderer more easily then one would with mental ray inside so

F3 Explorer rather than Synoptic/Annotation?

Just a quick one: Does anyone have any idea if there's a way to force the F3 button to always display a pop-up explorer rather than a synoptic or annotation? I can't see anything in the prefs, just holding out in the hope that there's some trick I've missed!

Re: This is what I meant by AE integration

It's helpful information.  I decided to go with Fusion, which I already hand in mind anyhow.  I was going to go with a Autodesk Composite / AE workflow, that is a mixed mess IMO :) Like I said, I don't have hate toward AE, it's just if you factor in the price of AE plus some effective plug-ins

Despite fusion flaws would you still vouch for Fusion or should I stick with AE, unless another compositor in mind, excluding NUKE ? :) Christopher Paul Griswold Saturday, April 06, 2013 5:30 AM Fusion is great with Softimage & it's 3D environment is fantastic.  Getting

Re: This is what I meant by AE integration

Fusion is great with Softimage & it's 3D environment is fantastic. Getting things back and forth isn't as easy as I'd like, though. You can export your scenes as FBX, but Fusion won't/doesn't see camera animation in FBX files from XSI for some reason. So you have to export your camera as a dotXS
