Yep, maya namespaces with ':' special character kind of suck. What feels the most anoying though is the fact that alembic being streamed from the file system is already a referencing workflow by itself. I could have done it go without namespaces. But different characters containing geos following t

if there is time and a budget for capturing set data, reference and spherical HDRIs... then do it! saves time on the backend when doing lighting. removes any guesswork from just having a plate. i think the hdr labs forum is a great place to also ask questions On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Pau

OT: shooting panoramas

2013-11-30 Thread Paul Griswold
Hey guys, I am helping out on a documentary that's being shot in China & the subject of shooting spherical panoramas came up. For what these guys are doing, I don't really think there's a need to shoot HDRI's, but I do think having panoramas would come in handy. The problem is, I'm being peppere

i have went the other way, from maya to softimage. kept namespaces intact on export but stripped them on import and used model roots from a selection. what do the identifiers look like coming out of softimage? On Sat, Nov 30, 2013 at 11:09 AM, Halim Negadi wrote: > I know it's a little out of

Hi Ahmidou :) Yeah it would be the way to go, but as I was saying in pevious mail there is no such event for custom primitives. On Nov 30, 2013 1:32 AM, "Ahmidou Lyazidi" wrote: > Hey Guillaume, did you tried the "siOnInit" EventID? > > --- > Ahmidou
