RE: cad

I’d definitely look into Rhino. We use it for cleaning any CAD that comes from Teamcenter and its very good. Max is our core 3d software (not my choice), so we use some of the npowersoftware tools for translation and continued working in Max. From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com

Re: Softimage and CMYK

which is arguably more doable, as you might find blueprints – I did for my own car. This is more like giving you artwork on which a bucket of paint has been dropped. It’s restoration. if that’s your predicament and the client knowingly asks you to do this – then sure, grade away! From:

Re: XSI 2015 hangs when opening

Sandy always told me to renamed the user prefs folder in Documents so that XSI generated new ones when weird things started happening. Does that help anything? On 10 Feb 2016 19:22, "George Schermer" wrote: > Hi all, > > My XSI 2015 had been working fine a couple weeks

Re: XSI 2015 hangs when opening

Try renaming your preferences folder (usually here: "C:\Users\[USER NAME]\Autodesk") so Soft will recreate it. Otherwise you can try runonce.bat On Wed, Feb 10, 2016 at 1:21 PM, George Schermer wrote: > Hi all, > > My XSI 2015 had been working fine a couple weeks ago, but

well there’s your answer then - nothing much you can do on your end except document and liaise with client. if the files are right’ and look wrong, chances are you are missing part of the puzzle. LUT’s for instance. Perhaps there’s printer specific color profiles used/baked in – perhaps they

XSI 2015 hangs when opening

Hi all, My XSI 2015 had been working fine a couple weeks ago, but today when I tried to launch it I got the splash screen and the menu bar, (with "MCP, KPL,PPG" tabs in the right corner,) but nothing else. And then it says that XSI is unresponsive. Has anyone else come across this error before?

Re: Render Region and Autosave

There is a command (as well as default ctrl-alt-s hotkey ) to invoke a backup save (in the backup folder). I'm not a scripter, but I'm sure it would be not too complicated to setup a recycling timer that calls the save backup command ever X minutes,

Thx, yeah we got an Moi license on one of the mac's with a lot of ram, but it's stil pretty slow at opening files Rhino, I've never looked into, Maya I just use to import files I usually end up rebuilding the models, or cleaning them quite a bit before actually using it. thanks On Tue, Feb 9,

Re: Softimage and CMYK

were they PDF’s? if the pdf is still layered, possibly there is a specific layer for creating those ultrablacks (if that is what’s going on) that you can turn off - in illustrator or indesign or such (not PS). Also, when there, and the files looks ‘normal’, you can simply try ‘export for web’

Re: Softimage and CMYK

Have a check if there are spot colors or laquer or similar layers in the file. They can cause funny results. In the latest Acrobat Pro DC (part of CC) under Tools>PrintProduction there is a color converter that might help get this into the sRGB world. Best of luck, Fabian On 10 February 2016 at
