Re: Softimage and Python For Linux

[Raffaele Fragapane]

To second Alan's comments, unless you are using the odd and rare library
that only works >2.5, or have enough and elaborate enough code using post
2.5 features (which is more of a risk for infrastructure oriented code than
your average plug-in other than a few convenient decorators and shortcuts),
I'd be surprised if your stuff didn't work in 2.5.

The migration from win to linux is more likely to give you some teething
pains if you have path and asset management that isn't platform agnostic
than the backporting from 2.65 to 2.5, and harder to test (just recede one
of your win workstations to 2.5 and see if everything works for the latter).

I'd be genuinely surprised if the next version, or its first SAP at the
latest, didn't offer py2.7, it's more py3k that is going to be a much more
intense, lancing pain in the arse, which most likely will require double
clients (ala 32 and 64 bit times) for a while, but unlike 2.7, I don't
think anybody is in danger of AD jumping on that bandwagon anytime this
year. We'll be lucky if anything happens the next.

in linux, is this factual?
Yes, yes it is.

to work in linux
You'll probably be fine. There's not THAT many changes between 2.5 and 2.6,
frankly.

>> can we use alternative versions of python with softimage in linux?
Nope! You can only use Softimage's, which is heavily tied with the
ActiveScripting technology and Mainwin's grubby win32com hooks.

It's not unimaginable that a future version of XSI may come with a newer
build of Python. Only time will tell.

I'm pretty sure I unloaded every plugin item except the renderer itself, and

So, it's either the renderer plugin, or the renderer integration framework in 
Softimage.

We're currently looking into the most effective work around for this little

do we need to unload them all?

Thanks again.

Re: Sublime definitions for Softimage

[jo benayoun]

IDEs provide code completion and code analysis by actually having a backend
specific to the language the editor is set to.  Thats actually one of the
main difference between a text editor (sublime) and an IDE (eclipse).  The
editor does not just consider the text as a suite of words but as a
language and so understand what you write.

To implement such thing, you will need basically to do the job of the
python engine (minus compilation/interpreter step).  Meaning, use an ast
generator and write python specifics.

The actual parser generator used internally by the CPython implementation
is exposed in the std library under the name pgen2 (do a grep for seeing
its usage).  Because this is just a parser generator, you will need then a
way to get and manipulate the ast the parser will generate for ya.
fortunately, there is a bunch of modules that provide exactly what you need
(ast, keyword, ...) that let you go further in the code exploration.
(pgen2 and parser/ast/keyword/... are two separate things with two
different usages, dont mix them up)

Thats about python, for the softimage libraries, you're on the right way :)

I wasn't necessarily speaking in terms of Fabric when thinking of -Ideal 
DCC processes-

& maybe should have created an other thread named exactly that sorry.

Perhaps seeing how things like SI-ASCII format or other things can be 
such long shots

even if by sentiment of a majority, led me to explore my dreams.. (out loud)

To my knowledge, none of the SI developers are on this list or any sort 
of forum,
and even the simplest things (which can make big differences) discussed 
here,

(out of reach of the SDK = out of reach)
would most likely remain here and in the domain of wishful thinking.
(which perhaps made me think wishfully all the way :)

But yes you did get what I was saying,
I don't think it's necessary to translate only when hitting render

(progressively, on creation/change, and/or on idle? even if not 
necessarily saved with the scene)


But would storing all geometry be as heavy as the scene file itself? 
(which might not be so bad)
or would it necessarily have to save geo for every frame for deformed 
objects? (which might be bad)


And so, could all deformations potentially similarly be procedural as 
it is in the scene itself?

How about displaced geo?

It seems Clarisse scene description is the same as it's renderer 
(both seemingly being one thing)


Guess I was wondering if (theoretically) an app could natively save 
(or pre-translate) scene info

(or enough for what the render needs to know)
in a format native to the renderer in the aim of not having to 
reinvent a new renderer to avoid tranlations.


If at-all possible, I'm sure it would be a pain in the ASS ;)
to conform to a non-proprietary format for procedural scene descriptions,
but scene translation can sometimes actually take as long as scene 
rendering :)
and Arnold is good enough that I don't think a new renderer would be 
justified,

even if "no possible translation time avoidance" would be the answer.
(Theoretically hypothetically speaking)

And sorry if I sometimes think out loud ;]

Not sure to understand what you mean by "ASS compilation", but 
storing all the geometry in an ass file would be very heavy. Flora 
can generate the trees at render time in Arnold or in real time in 
Softimage/Maya/CreationApp. It is definitely the best way to do when 
dealing with any kind of heavy scene :).


If only I could have use Creation Platform for CrowdFX... you could 
render tones of characters without problems!

[Kris Rivel]

Is there any way to condense the environment caches down?  I have a few
objects I'm importing with syflex on them and its stacking up cache nodes.
 I only need one since they're under a model together.  Is there a way to
rebuild or combine them without breaking my simulation objects?

Re: Sublime definitions for Softimage

[Alan Fregtman]

I've generated autocompletions, but it seems (and kinda makes sense) that I
cannot really know what class someone is coding for to show the methods
filtered by that class alone, so in its current state I will autocomplete
both global commands AND all methods. That said, for methods I put "[blabla
class]" after them so you know which one it's for. I still think it's
useful, but I wish it could be better.

Anyone have any bright ideas for somehow knowing what class someone is
coding for? (...because Sublime won't load Softimage's Python environment
to actually know what is what, what with the dynamic dispatching and all.)

By the way, once you tab to choose one, I autocomplete all the arguments as
a "snippet" and you can tab through the named arguments to write your own
variables or delete them.

Re: Fcurve editor crashing soft

yep, i am having this problems for a long time. for couple of soft releases. 
but i never could prove that with a proper repro scene. maybe now its the time 
to investigate (solids, soft devs?)

I have seen a case of this before. The entry of numeric values in the 
fcurve editor froze Softimage, but only when a certain renderer was

I had a repro scene from a customer, and the only way I could fix it was 
to freeze part of the op stack.

Matt - you using a dual monitor layout?  I have found before that some panels 
becomes (sometimes) odd on the second monitor, then seems to work better using 
a popped open panel instead - switch to another layout without it docked!

BTW not on 2013 here - so might be an unfortunate 2013 special thing.

Ok, this is getting really annoying now.
I've heard of people experiencing some instability with the f-curve editor in 
2013 SP1, but until now I haven't suffered from it. However I'm currently 
working on a project with some pretty deep ( hierarchy wise) rigs and the 
f-curve editor is almost un-useable. All I can use it for with any confidence 
is to manually move keys and key handles. Any attempt to enter a numeric value 
for anything in the editor freezes soft. I can't tell you how many times I've 
crashed the software over the last few days. Does anyone know how to solve this 
problem? Is there a solution for this problem?

Awesome "Boss Wave" video at least partly done with Softimage + Exocortex Momentum

[Ben Houston]

Hi all,

Sorry for the possible resend, I was away on vacation.

This video for the song Boss Wave was at least partly done with
Softimage with Exocortex Momentum for the physical simulation aspects.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wTLjEqj5Xk

The Software lead TD was Mikael Pettersén, whom I believe is on this
list.  I actually really like the song too, which is a plus, but I
like chiptune generally.

Fcurve editor crashing soft

[Matt Lowery]

Ok, this is getting really annoying now.
I've heard of people experiencing some instability with the f-curve 
editor in 2013 SP1, but until now I haven't suffered from it. However 
I'm currently working on a project with some pretty deep ( hierarchy 
wise) rigs and the f-curve editor is almost un-useable. All I can use it 
for with any confidence is to manually move keys and key handles. Any 
attempt to enter a numeric value for anything in the editor freezes 
soft. I can't tell you how many times I've crashed the software over the 
last few days. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Is there a 
solution for this problem?
