Re: ICE tutorials for beginner.
I second that. Watch everything Paul Smith has posted on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/pooby He's a regular guy, not a TD, so he explains things in an easier to digest manner. Eric T has a Softimage Tutorials channel that has ICE stuff (though, ehem, it hasn't been updated in a year): https://vimeo.com/groups/softimagetutorials There's also Alan Fregtman's Softimage ICE Videos on Vimeo (though, ehem, it hasn't been updated in TWO years): https://vimeo.com/groups/ice And on YouTube there 's the SoftimageHowTos Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/SoftimageHowTos HTH Paul (in case my joking attitude doesn't translate properly to email...

Re: ICE tutorials for beginner.
Good thing you posted that PS note Paul cause it didn't come off well for being sarcastic. :) The tutorial group is pretty self sustaining actually. I peek in every now and then to clear out spam videos though and add the videos that may have gone unnoticed. Hey Dan, I'd recommend Thiago's videos on cmivfx.com. really worth while when I got started. On May 24, 2013 5:30 AM, Paul Griswold pgrisw...@fusiondigitalproductions.com wrote: I second that.

Re: ICE - Record Variable in Array for every frame
Hi. If you are using a simulated ICE tree you can get an array add the new data to it using the build array node and then set it each frame. this will build a list of lengths upto the current frame. or if its not simulated u can build an array of size=no. of frames and populate it with the lengths from each frame. is this what you are looking for?

Re: bend a grid
Under Render-Pass-?Edit current pass, there is Render Channels Output Select under Filr name , Edit and change output format to PNG and right from that make sure it says RGBA. That should take care of rendering correct output, now there could be something else in scene to affect your alpha too.

Re: ICE - Record Variable in Array for every frame
Hi Matt thanks for the reply! From your description it seems that this is what I am after. I am interested about the simulated version for now. The only part that I am not quite sure how to do is the set it each frame. Because as far as remember I used a build array node but it did not keep the value for each frame but rather replaced it. So I was left with only one value, the current one. Is it possible to explain that part a little bit more. Thanks Kostas On 24 May 2013 13:17, Matthew Graves mattg1...@gmail.com wrote: Hi.

Re: ICE - Record Variable in Array for every frame
No problem I have included an image of the setup. the scalar number is what you are adding and SomeArray is the array you want to put the value in. In the setup shown the new value is added to the bottom of the list each frame. If you swap the get data and the value it will be added at the top. This must be done in a simulated ice tree to work.

RE: Mill 98% Human
Hi everyone, Thank you so much on the great comments. It feels good to hear all this. It was such a pleasure working with the whole team and supervising this project. It's not every day you get a project with great script for a good cause, with good schedule and have time to RnD so much stuff. It was roughly 3 to 4 months of work, to get tools done and spot out of the door. Seriously we couldn't have done it without ICE in the time we had. I am always looking at any software for commercial, to get things done to a really high quality level, in a short amount of time, and i still can't find anything which can beat the combination XSi, ICE and Arnold. Everything on this project used ICE, from rig, muscle, skin, hair, rendering. I started early test on skin with syflex and handover to Jimmy with Verlet which was much faster while I was carrying on and finishing the muscle system and leading the project. Jimmy was working on the grooming of the hair and did a lot of super awesome compounds and scripts (yes he is being very modest). Dave did an amazing work on the hair interaction in a couple of weeks... like proper Siggraph paper staff... to get the stiffness and collision of the hairs right. On the muscle, it was one very simple and generic muscle which had a lot of control to expend to more complex shapes and dynamic. It was extremely fast, and could control stiffness, handles, tangeant, jiggle and more, through few parameters and weight maps. The main strength was the speed to setup the whole body. I just needed to place each muscles close to the skeleton geometry and they would stick to it automatically: zero rigging involved. Anyway XSi and ICE are awesome, i know i don't need to convince you guys. It's not just about the software it's a lot about the talents and people, but seriously...XSi/ICE help a lot!
