I have a few ADN licenses.
And it is working again. I can select the topic "API support" ! Yeah.

@AutodeskHelp says the Sub Center is working ok; they tested with a couple of 
different logins.
Can you try again and see if the problem is still happening?
And are you guys on regular support, or ADN (aka partners) ?

If you are on Advanced support, there should be a phone number for support  in 
Sub Center.

If you reply to an existing email from support, that will make it back to 
support (but as part of the existing case...the support specialist can create a 
new case, but it depends on how closely the agent monitors their queue).

I tweeted @AutodeskHelp. I'm curious to see if they can tell me something.

"The animated feature /Adventures in Zambezia/ has grossed an estimated

Triggerfish Animation's highly successful film was recently sold to

I will be in London as from 5th March - so would absolutley love to

Hoping for bigger and better things - and all the TF boys on this

Re: OT: Free icon libraries?

Thanks will check them out. I know this may seem like a simplistic question
but there are a crazy amount of sites out there that have icon sets but
it's hard to find ones that have a solid library with clear free licensing
for commercial applications.

XSI_USERHOME and Workgroups

[Ponthieux, Joseph G. (LARC-E1A)[LITES]]

I'm setting up multiple machines to run Softimage 2013 SP1. I've come to a 
question which I'm unsure how to address.

I set my workgroup to a central location all systems point to a single 
workgroup. It dawned on me though that I still had a user profile which was now 
being replicated on multiple machines. That user profile set by

set XSI_USERHOME=%XSI_USERROOT%\Autodesk\Softimage_2013_SP1

which is the install location. The thought occurred to me that I could also 
move the user profile to a central location and have all machines point to it.

I realize that workgroups and user profiles are similar, but since I can't find 
a parameter  in the setenv.bat that points to workgroups I have to assume that 
the workgroup is defined in the user profile.

So the question is this. Is there any danger to pointing to a single user 
profile from multiple machines? Will simultaneously instances of Soft on 
different machines club settings in the centralized profile?

I realize the point of Workgroups was to have a central single location that 
plugin and other resources could be propagated to multiple machines, but is 
that also the case with the user profile?  Are there any experiences where this 
was discovered to be an issue?

Re: XSI_USERHOME and Workgroups

I always use a launcher, so I set the environment and also the workgroups

The question had come up now and then, so I'm thinking about releasing my

Anyhow, that was not a direct answer to your question :)

Nah...not with chains at least...not most of the time.  If I literally type
in the same values..it syncs...but "match transform" or "match rotation"
just makes it go all over.

Re: XSI_USERHOME and Workgroups

[Stephen Blair]

Hi

User profiles are more per-user than a workgroup. For example, user 
preferences are stored in the user profile (defaults.xsipref).


That's where your workgroups are listed. For example:
data_management.workgroup_appl_path= 
C:\Users\SOLIDANGLE\Documents\Workgroups\sitoa-2.7.1-2013


XSI.exe updates the prefs on exit, so you may want to make the user 
location read-only if you are going to share one User location between 
multiple machines.


For workgroups, you could use a .wkg file instead, and that can go 
either in the Factory Data location or the User Data location.

Re: copy transform value

It does act funny when there are keys set (maybe constraints too).  You
could make a quick script that does a pose constraint that you later
delete.

Re: copy transform value

[Kris Rivel]

Yeah I had that originally...but it conflicts with other constraints on the
bone.  I had a script that applied it, then removed it.  But there were
problems when the bone already had an animator applied constraint on it.
 Thought it would be better to just say "match this objects rotation value
exactly" but can't figure out the syntax.

That looks really pretty, very well executed. I particularly like the

Re: copy transform value

[Raffaele Fragapane]

In first place match transform will only match the values without forcing
that object to preserve them; if you have something else, constraints or
keys, those will refresh it to that, so there'd be no point to using it in
that case.
Second, IK is an op that always has precedence trying to re-interpolate, so
it's only normal if in a long chain something affects those derived values
rederivating them (assuming IK is on) can mess it up.
Third, why the hell are you applying constraints to bones?! :)
Fourth, it used to, and possibly still does, apply and remove a pose
constrain under the hood to match transforms, that conflicted with other
parts of the graph operating on it in the past when cnsComp was on.

Summary: Match transform is far from perfect, but you're probably doing it
wrong :)

Addendum: write a one line command that gets the transform from an object
(kine.global.transformt.get2()) and sets it to another's.

Re: copy transform value

[Kris Rivel]

Its an FK chain and we have some fancy synoptic commands for matching
chains to other chains, etc.  I just wanted to what you said at the
end...copy a rotation value and apply it to something else.  I just don't
know how in vbs...I'm not a coder...just hack at things I've collected or
seen before.  I've tried a few things but my syntax is clearly wrong.
 Didn't know if anyone had any good reference or scripts around that did
something like this.  I don't need to make a collection or anything as its
attached to a button...just a "match bone1 to bone2" thing.

 Nah...not with chains at least...not most of the time.  If I literally
 type in the same values..it syncs...but "match transform" or "match
 rotation" just makes it go all over.

Re: copy transform value

[Raffaele Fragapane]

Application.Selection(0).Kinematics.Global.Transform =
Application.Selection(1).Kinematics.Global.Transform

Will match one object in the selection to the other.

And I feel I should add that people using FK chains offering the bones
directly for control should be burnt at the stake IMO. But I understand
this might be an excessively liberal approach, and others might want to
suggest harsher punishment.

Re: copy transform value

[Eric Thivierge]

Takes obj1's rotation and puts it on obj2's while keeping it's position:

# Python
xsi = Application
collSel = xsi.Selection

obj1 = collSel(0)
obj2 = collSel(1)

xformTemp = XSIMath.CreateTransform()
xform1 = obj1.Kinematics.Local.GetTransform2(None)
xform2 = obj2.Kinematics.Local.GetTransform2(None)

xformTemp.SetTranslation(xform2.Translation)
xformTemp.SetRotation(xform1.Rotation)

obj2.Kinematics.Local.PutTransform2(None, xformTemp)

Well done! Love the style!

Adding to ice group etc.
