With that, then you can use ICE on a grid of sufficient points and set up a
tree like...
"Get Point ID" and pointcloud getdata --> ID To Location --> .PointPosition
--> Set Point Position
(Who knows how the terrain is ordered though. It might look horrid.)
On Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 11:22 AM, Dan
You want a pointcloud? Because that's just positions. It's not defining
topology.
You could probably make a grid of enough points and stick them to that
pointcloud, but it could look shitty.

For what it's worth, if you open an Explorer, press A for Application and
look inside Views, if there are any extra viewports they will appear under
"List" inside the views as View1, View2 and so on.
If you only have an Object View it will be View1 which will have all the

If you want to rescale polygons using particle sizes, that's tricky, but to

use "ID to Location", feed it your external pointcloud with the size

ICE always does some amount of evaluation of its inputs. How else

Using an "If" is your best bet, but to prevent slowdowns using stuff
like groups, you should unplug the inputs until you're ready.

Polygon islands don't have real centers. I assume you meant you have
several objects, one per island and you wish to orient those without
touching the existing point positions? Am I right?

Here's one:
Keep an eye out on the Vimeo ICE channel for awesome videos and link to
them if they are particularly impressive: https://vimeo.com/groups/ice
Be all like "check out this great commercial done with Softimage" or "Wow,
that's a nice ICE effect that blabla did for this short film here"
I work a few metres from Mr Laborde and find ICE quite fun also. ;)

There's a patent for XSI's QuickStretch deformer:

How valuable! :p lol
Kidding aside, there's a few more:

Hey X,
About the 3rd item, you just need to make sure the system libraries are
loaded before XSI's own by putting them first in the
*LD_LIBRARY_PATH*environment variable.
Here's a workaround sample code to start subprocesses in Linux that worked
for me last time:
import osimport subprocess

Hi Jules,
Fear not, for when you're reading built-in attributes (like NodeToVertex)
it's very reliable to go this way. :)
Also, your duplicate-free version can be made even simpler, shorter and
maybe a teensy bit faster:
sel = app.Selection(0)
oGeo = sel.SubComponent.Parent3DObject.ActivePrimit
Press "Center" in the top right, translate/rotate/scale as desired, then
press "Object" again? Or did I miss something?

He was very sneaky. Among other things, most recently he didn't have the
funds he wanted so he asked the capital firm Palm Beach Capital, who is (or
was at the time) the largest shareholder in DD, to lend him cash, which he
then used to buy more stock in the same company. That's bizarre. Sounds

Hey Rob,
You're linking to a private url for your Gmail pointing to an attachment.
Can't do that. It's unusable for everyone else.
Can you get the image and attach it to your email or put it on

Cheeers,

The only workaround I can think of is keeping track of which events have
run with global temporary variables (SetGlobal(), GetGlobal()) and if an
event fires and it shouldn't, registering a TimerEvent to re-fire that
procedure soon thereafter, thus allowing other events to fire, until they
have all

One more thing, irrelevant to the PyQt discussion but relevant to the
thread:
- dragging a long list of objects to another (to reparent) in the Explorer
results in individual CopyPaste() commands for each object which is crazy
slow compared to a single ParentObj() command if I were to use the Pare
Hey Guillaume,
I'm sad to see you go but excited to see what exciting stuff you'll do for
Fabric! :)
Thank you immensely for all your proactive involvement, guidance, wisdom

Best wishes,

Not being able to use the system Python is a little annoying too. In Linux
we're stuck in Py2.5 because only the built-in Softimage Python works.

Reading "PlayControl" with a GetData to get timeline information is
unreliable, not in the data received, but that the reference gets lost very
easily, usually when exporting models or renaming some model. (Can't
remember how exactly at the moment.)
