Re: Bump not able to interpret UV Wrap?

[Tosh Suo]

Turn off 'clamp' in the Bump Generator node in the Render Tree. Also make
sure 'wrap UV' is turned on in the Texture Editor. That should fix the
problem.

I just ordered the XSI Hoodie :)  In L size. I hope it fits! Because everytime 
something 3D related at the job went out tremendously good and smooth, I had a

what? I would not like to drink less beer.

Re: Hanging basket

[peter_b]

> ncloth is your baby

wow radical thinking -  maya as a plugin to softimage?


as for an obvious, out of the (XSI) box solution, why yes: RBD’s are your 
friend!

I’ve done chains – 30 or so, each made out of about a hundred RBD elements, I 
think each a ball and socket joint or whatever it was.
suspending them, dropping them, lowering onto a floor, raising them again - 
worked a charm. And simulation times were reasonable. There was some 
trickyness, plotting the animation, slightly editing some of it and doing some 
cleanup where the collisions were a bit jittery – but overall I was pleasantly 
surprised at how well they worked for this.

Re: SI and Houdini

[Jordi Bares]

Finally managed to add some time into the guides… now you have online the 
texturing 1 and 2.

http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_forum&Itemid=172&page=viewtopic&p=150932#150932


For those that are visiting Mundos Digitales conference or those thinking 
about, I have been preparing an amazing talk about Thomson "Simon the Ogre" of 
more than 250 slides that I am sure you guys are going to love so if you were 
thinking on going, I will do my best to a good presentation.

Plus the conference this year has as speakers

- Quadspinner!!!
- Javier Fesser (one of my heroes of all time)
- Daniel Lara
- Chris O'Really (a total visionary)
- Paul Devebec (another hero of mine)
- Alex Roman (another hero)


Anyway… in my humble opinion this is the best VFX festival due to the fact you 
can actually talk to the speakers outside, it is such a small city it is super 
easy to go for beers with anyone.


Enjoy!!!

One way of getting such messages is by create a texture projection and undoing 
the creation, then saving the file.
I believe to remember that yet another way of getting it is to create a pass, 
then undo the creation, and save (same as above).
I never saw this with Models though. Does it still come up after saving and 
loading?
 I had this too occasionally (with texture projections only) but never noticed 
any side effects, and it was always gone after saving/reloading.

Re: Visual Effects Giants Prime Focus World, Double Negative to Merge

[Nic Sievers]

What's crazy is that over a year ago just before the Rhythm and Hues
Bankruptcy, Prime Focus was working a deal to buy R&H and keep them from
bankruptcy.  In the end it came down to they didn't have the cash.  So lo
and behold with this deal they went all stock trade. Probably because they
still don't have the cash.   Paper trading is fun.

This part is more of a feeling but with all the articles I read, people I
heard from like Andi and Sergio just said, experience with the R&H
bankruptcy...PF just seems sketchy all over.

I don't have a budget, but you will get a lot of exposure and I will use you

Note, also, that this was listed under "computer gigs", not under

I do get these type of job postings all the time. I just thought this one

I don't have a budget, but you will get a lot of exposure and I will use you

I don't doubt it's legit. Seen this many times from people who think 
they have the next big idea for a film / short but no realistic 
perception of what it takes to make even the smallest project. The 
person might as well just put "No pay, will look good on your website / 
demo and help you get future work".

particle ID's change on scaled icechace in animMixer

[Mario Reitbauer]

Like the topic allready says.
Particle ID's change when an ice cache is applied through the animation
mixer and when this cache is then speeded up (scaled).

No idea how that can actually happen but it is annoying ;)

This only happens in the mixer, if the cache is applied with a cache node
everything works fine.

So if any AD Softimage guy is still listening, would be nice to have a fix
for this.

ty
