Re: Scripting question
Hey, you can get the Local ppos parameter, which should be the pivot parameters ie. Object.Kinematics.Local.Parameters('ppos').Value = 2 Try that, hope it helps On Sat, Oct 20, 2012 at 10:52 PM, julien carmagnac carmagnacjul...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Correct me if i'm wrong but your pivot position is your object position, that you can get with kinematics (myObj.Kinematics.Local.posx.Value, etc.). 2012/10/18 Szabolcs Matefy szabol...@crytek.com Thanks, that was I afraid of…thanks anyway! ** ** *From:* softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] *On Behalf Of *patrick nethercoat *Sent:* Thursday, October 18, 2012 2:22 PM *To:* softimage@listproc.autodesk.com *Subject:* Re: Scripting question ** ** AFAIK pivot position is transient, only related to a specific transformation.

Re: Softimage crash when loading a 2gb scene
Hi Chris, We are on Soft2013 SP1 x64 and Jseb got 12 Gb of Ram in the machine He started playing around with Arnold Stand-Inswich is so far pretty pretty positive.. thnks sly Chris Chia Friday, October 19, 2012 9:47 PM It might be nice to know what version of XSI, whether it's a x64 or 32, and the amount of ram your machine has?Chris Jean-Sebastien Guillemette Thursday, October 18, 2012 12:05 PM Hey guys, I have an heavy scene with alot of objects. The scene opens fine up until a point where I load one more object and once saved the file goes above 2gb in size (at 1.9gb it was openning fine). It doesn't seems to be the object itself since I made some test with different props. It always happen when the file size is above 2gb. When it does, it just doesn't load, Softimage crash while loading. I'll keep doing more test to make sure it's not one of my objects that's causing the problem..but well...
