ah, ...so that it interacts with physical sun sorry, missed the point there. What kind of interaction are you after? Shadowing? Colours? There's no reference to the arnold fog interacting with light there as far as I can tell. On 11 June 2014 13:40, patrick nethercoat

Python: Limitations / Differences in xsibatch versus interactive

Don’t do anything that interacts with a GUI. That’ll crash XSIBatch as XSIBatch is essentially XSI.exe without any GUI, or support for a GUI. How are you getting information from your custom properties? That might be a factor. Matt From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com
