python in softimage2010

[Milan Vasek]

Hi. My friend need some help with python in Softimage. He says that this thing 
was working in Softimage 2011 but now we are using 2010 and it´s not working 
here (the result is none instead of a list...) Could anyone help, please?
 
 
log = Application.LogMessageroot = Application.ActiveSceneRootscenePasses = 
Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.PassescurrentPass = 
Application.ActiveProject.ActiveScene.ActivePassenvstack = 
currentPass.NestedObjects('EnvironmentShaderStack')log(envstack) 
 
 
 
cheers

They changed that in 2011 to support some new features I believe
(.xsishaders files).

Thanks. And is there another way to find out what is connected to Env. Shader 
Stack port in 2010?

Maybe take a look around line #1044
https://github.com/EricTRocks/ET_Tools/blob/master/workgroup_ET_Tools/Addons/ET_PassManager_v3.0/Application/Plugins/ET_PassManager.py


Definitely not as straight forward as 2011+

Replacing clips in the Animation Mixer

[Adam Seeley]

Hi,

Is there a way to replace a clip in the Animation Mixer with another?

I've had a quick look around but the only info I've got so far is a "no" from a 
previous post.

http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=855

Here's hoping,

Adam.

Nice to have everyone sharing their renderfarm info. Seems like RR is the 
trend...

Not a huge deal to make the server static. I was
cringing at having to change all my client's pc's to
static. :) I am working on a experiment that uses my
clients pc's networked to make render farms for
all my clients. Sort of a render commune. :)

Our actual server machine that we are running RR off is static - but all our

script and ssh onto them using their ips - which match the name - egg1 for e.g. 
is 192.168.1.101.  So yes it definitely does work - I think that the guide is 
aimed at setting the server to static.

RR uses the hardware address on the machines - we found this out when we got 
confused when a machine we renamed appeared as the old name - it picked it up 
out of the client database using its HW address.

the installation guide says, specifically, to set the IP as static for RRserver.
Are you using RRserver? If it does work with DHCP, that would be great.

The one thing that stopped me from trying Royal Render is that you must have a 
static IP
address on all machines. It does not support DHCP, as far as I can tell.
And, since I am using DHCP

I'm trying to use is a remote render service called REBUS.

straightforward. It has a check feature that will go through and verify 
everything is cool before sending. There are not really any options to choose, 
it just sends the whole scene. Speed seems good and the manager app is decent 
for pulling files back off the server. We used it with Maya on a job last year 
and it worked fine. REBUS is the only online renderer that I have found that 
supports Softimage 2013.

Re: Replacing clips in the Animation Mixer

[Eric Thivierge]

No built in way that I know of. Probably scriptable, but you'd have to take
a good amount of things into consideration depending on your workflow. You
have to get the timing info, cycling info, time warp enabled, warp curve,
etc.

Alternatively, if you simply use a drag and drop approach it should be
rather trivial.

Re: Replacing clips in the Animation Mixer

[Simon Anderson]

Yeah theres a way, but it has to be scripted, I have writen something like
that on one of my last productions, but you have to be weary of some things
that can creep in like multiple constraints and equations getting double
constrained, as well as if you have values on parameters adn then you have
them locked you end up with locked values.

eg. if you had an fcurve on a parameter and now thats locked, when you
update the clip the parameter will now have a locked FCurve.

Siggraph dinner details - ITTA 10

Thank you to all who responded to my survey from a few weeks ago.  The results 
have been tallied and almost 85% of you requested Sunday as the first choice of 
meeting time, and a smaller percentage specifically requested a return to 
Trader Vic's.   Therefore, common sense says to do just that.

If interested in attending, please RSVP via the event's facebook page (work in 
progressand please follow the instructions in the event's description).
