Re: Alembic file from Maya to Softimage 2015

Out of curiosity Michael, where did you get the maya 2017 libraries from? A friend of mine recently compiled it for maya 2016 and as far as I remember, the libraries only contained up to maya 2016, not maya 2016.5 nor2017. I don't have any experience compiling things, but that's what I was told

Re: OTish - Maya equivalent to weightmap in Softimage?

There is no weight map property usable for everything in Maya, neither in Max. Weight map for modulating the deformer, like blend shape, is tied to deformer, perhaps even stored with deformer node. For Hypershade and rendering, you can use vertex colors and vertex color painter, if your

I think there was only Metamesh Extreme - and it did transfer UV's as far as I remember. I did a gig in London for Pison (Pison Tools) where we used Metamesh for characters. Great stuff. MB > Den 4. august 2017 klokken 22:30 skrev Sven Constable > : > > > There

Well - Arnold and RLM licensing has been a calming factor in my tedious licensing chores along the way. Autodesk licensing crap has cost me weeks if not months of lost worktime - I hate that shit. MB > Den 4. august 2017 klokken 22:03 skrev Sven Constable > : > >

Any updates on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Especially any success stories. I feel like companies willing to part with theirs would be smaller. But animal logic (in Vancouver) is dropping xsi after this current show. ( though they've rumored that before ). I'll walk across the

Re: Softimage license transfer

You don't lose your Softimage license when you chose to change to Maya & Softimage package and AFAIK you won't lose it as long as you have activated those licenses and stay on maintenance or even change to subscription. We have all our licenses like that, with Maya, and still using Softimage.

Re: Softimage license transfer

I think Autodesk tried to circumvent this by getting studios over onto newer licenses of Maya which then replaced the Softimage licenses. I may be wrong, but I think that people who decided to stay the course with XSI are still using theirs and everybody else changed over, barring one or two

Softimage license transfer

There was a thread about buying Softimage licenses from other users a while ago. Autodesk does not permit selling licenses but in the EU this practise has been established as unlawful: http://www.worldcadaccess.com/blog/2012/07/autodesks-loses-battle-against-resold-software-in-eu.html

Camera setting for parallel vertical lines - architecture style?

I am modeling some buildings where I need to match a stock shot which has had converging vertical lines corrected, so they are parallel. When I line up the camera, perspective makes the vertical lines converge, so I can't directly match the stock shot. I could work with a lattice to correct the
