Re: Controlling a parameter live via slider through scripting
Thank you everyone for the additional tips! On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 8:20 AM, Stefan Kubicek s...@tidbit-images.com wrote: The cleanest way I suppose would be to have the PPG reside on the operator directly. Write a command to apply the op and display its PPG (points 1 and 2 in your list), then on the PPG there could be a button (calling a second command for instance) that freezes the object and performs your additional modeling operations (points 3 and 4). That's what I'd do. You could even create menu items for your command(s) and anchor them in one of the existing menus so you can call the operation(s) from there. Thank you for the links, I think these contain what I need. What would be the standard way for controlling operators? I'm not trying to do anything special, really just looking for the most straightforward way to: 1) Add a bevel operator 2) Allow the user to change settings of the bevel operator 3) Freeze the object 4) Perform additional modeling operations Step 2) is the only part where I need interactive user input. Once the user is happy and clicks OK, steps 3) and 4) must be automatically performed by the script. On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 1:12 PM, Stefan Kubicek s...@tidbit-images.comwrote: It is quite unusual to update operators based on another global PPG's parameter I think, though theoretically it should work if the operator uses the Property's relevant parameters as an input. Check out http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/sdkguide/si_om/CustomOperator.html and in particular: http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/sdkguide/si_om/CustomOperator.AddInputPort.html No, it's not Immediate Mode. After the PPG is closed, the operator values update correctly. But they don't update when changing the slider value while the PPG is open. I will delete the custom property once the user closes the PPG, so I think it's not too important where it's stored. On Tue, Nov 5, 2013 at 12:37 PM, Stefan Kubicek s...@tidbit-images.comwrote: Could it be that you have immediate mode enabled? Also, why do you store the parameters in a global PPG in the SceneRoot rather than on the actual operator per object? Hi list, My script generates a bevel operator on an object. I then want a PPG to pop up that allows the user to change certain parameters of the bevel operator. These parameters should update whenever the values in the PPG are changed. However, they only update after the PPG is closed via OK. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Script is roughly as follows: # Lots of stuff after which a bevel operator (op) is generated MyPSet = A.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty(CustomProperty, False, Bevel_Options) MyLayout = MyPSet.PPGLayout MyPSet.AddParameter3(PBevelRatio, c.siFloat, 10, 0.01, 100) MySlider = MyLayout.AddItem(PBevelRatio, Ratio, c.siControlNumber) A.InspectObj(MyPSet, , Choose Bevel Options, c.siModal, False) op.Parameters(ratio).Value = MyPSet.Parameters(PBevelRatio).Value Thank you Christian -- --- Stefan Kubicek --- keyvis digital imagery Alfred Feierfeilstraße 3 A-2380 Perchtoldsdorf bei Wien Phone: +43/699/12614231 www.keyvis.at ste...@keyvis.at -- This email and its attachments are -- --confidential and for the recipient only-- -- --- Stefan Kubicek --- keyvis digital imagery Alfred Feierfeilstraße 3 A-2380 Perchtoldsdorf bei Wien Phone: +43/699/12614231 www.keyvis.at ste...@keyvis.at -- This email and its attachments are -- --confidential and for the recipient only-- -- --- Stefan Kubicek --- keyvis digital imagery Alfred Feierfeilstraße 3 A-2380 Perchtoldsdorf bei Wien Phone: +43/699/12614231 www.keyvis.at ste...@keyvis.at -- This email and its attachments are -- --confidential and for the recipient only--
Merge meshes is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
I have several geometries, each of the about 30-50k polygons. I have to merge them, and when I try, it takes lot of time minutes to hours(!!) to have the Merge Mesh PPG come up. I think it's because it wants the merge open edges with 0.5 units, and I have plenty. Is it possible to edit the preset to omit this welding by setting the 0.5 value to 0?

Re: Merge meshes is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
yes. just merge two simple objects, set the tolerance parameter to 0, and save out a preset of that operator. then you can apply that operator through: Application.ApplyGenOp(path/to/your/saved/preset, , sphere1,sphere, 3, siPersistentOperation, siKeepGenOpInputs, ) cheers vladimir On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 10:23 AM, Szabolcs Matefy szabol...@crytek.comwrote: I have several geometries, each of the about 30-50k polygons.

Re: Merge meshes is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
I didn't know you could use a preset like that, Nice Tip ! And you can even do it with siImmediateOperation.

Re: Merge meshes is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
- merge two small meshes- go into the explorer an switch it to application (A)- go to scene defaults/operators there is now a default preset of the merge op for this scene, double click that and set tolerance to 0.next time you use the merge op in this scene it uses these default values.--

cinema 4D \neural net effect?
You know that out of the box line to spehere effect all the cool kids are using today? Any chance something like that is out there and available in soft?

Re: cinema 4D \neural net effect?
I want there to be a trail of these tings popping around based on particles emitted from the geo of a character to be what we are referring too as a digital particle effect So instead of Neural Net working on a geometry...it works on the particles emitted from another point cloud.

Re: cinema 4D \neural net effect?
I think I have a copy of Neural Net here if you need it. I'm not exactly following what you're trying to do, though. With the neural net-type effect, you can emit them from geometry that's got deformers on it and it'll follow along with the deformers, so you can make them move however you'd want. Have you checked out LKLightning 2? I believe it can do the same effect a lot more. -Paul On Wed, Nov 6, 2013 at 3:07 PM, Chris Johnson chr...@topixfx.com wrote: I want there to be a trail of these tings popping around based on particles emitted from the geo of a character to be what we are referring too as a digital particle effect So instead of Neural Net working on a geometry...it works on the particles emitted from another point cloud.

Re: Controlling a parameter live via slider through scripting
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, but I think it's because you are inspecting the PPG in siModal mode. siModal will give you a box to say OK or Cancel, but yes, changes are not reflected live in the scene. This is what modal means. On 05/11/13 21:59, Christian Gotzinger wrote: Hi list, My script generates a bevel operator on an object. I then want a PPG to pop up that allows the user to change certain parameters of the bevel operator. These parameters should update whenever the values in the PPG are changed. However, they only update after the PPG is closed via OK. Can someone point me in the right direction here? Script is roughly as follows: # Lots of stuff after which a bevel operator (op) is generated MyPSet = A.ActiveSceneRoot.AddProperty(CustomProperty, False, Bevel_Options) MyLayout = MyPSet.PPGLayout MyPSet.AddParameter3(PBevelRatio, c.siFloat, 10, 0.01, 100) MySlider = MyLayout.AddItem(PBevelRatio, Ratio, c.siControlNumber) A.InspectObj(MyPSet, , Choose Bevel Options, c.siModal, False) op.Parameters(ratio).Value = MyPSet.Parameters(PBevelRatio).Value Thank you Christian
