OT: MAYA particle size based on position
Hey guys. I ask here because this is till where the smart friendly people hang out. I need to change the size of particles based on their current position. I need to create a grid like effect, so as the particles move through space, they scale bigger and smaller based on their position in x and y. In ICE this is easy, not so much in MAYA. Anyone have any ideas for me? Thanks

Re: OT: MAYA particle size based on position
Hey Angus Because we can't buy softimage any more, some of my clients don’t want to go near it for fear of not being able to make changes to a job in a few months time, or hire more people if needs be. I therefore have to create this effect without the awesomeness that is ICE. It is also a way to learn maya without turning to soft every time something is a pain in the ass (all the freaking time). I really hope its not a code based solution though G On 2014-11-04 12:14 PM, Angus Davidson wrote: And I suppose doing in SI and exporting via Alembic isn¹t an option ;) I would be assuming python / mel script would be it.

Re: globally offloading referenced models
Hi Matt, Use the Scene Toc Manager created by Alok, it's been a great time saver here. Search for ScnToc in http://rray.de/xsi/ If the plugin doesn't work with your version of Softimage, you can always use the standalone. On 4 November 2014 00:21, Matt Lind speye...@hotmail.com wrote: make sure you have all the required plugins and shaders installed or else you’ll get all sorts of problems like this. Next on the list of things to try is activate all levels of script logging and verbosity you can, and make sure to dump it out to a script log on your hard drive (.log). then load the scene. hopefully something will be dumped to the log you can work with such as an error or warning message indicating the problem. I would write a few simple event scripts to dump the model names and actions attempted as the scene is being loaded. You can use the information to incrementally build a new .scntoc file and offload the model(s) that give you problems. This, of course, would be iterative. To isolate the problem of being a graphics issue vs. a data integrity issue, try loading the scene using xsibatch.exe instead. If it doesn’t crash, you can save the scene to generate a .scntoc so you can offload your models when loading with xsi.exe. Matt
Re: globally offloading referenced models
Thanks for the suggestions. Have managed to recover the scene with a copied scenetoc and some model name guesswork... Will make sure scenetocs are always recorded in the future! And scene toc manager is now part of the toolset. Cheers!

RE: more maya......
So Ben is right. This separation of unit settings for the current scene and your own unit preferences was put in place to address an issue customers had where they’d load someone else’s scene and all of sudden find that their units, fps, etc. had all changed when they next created a new scene. For your new scene preferences, go to New Scene (option box) and set things the way you normally want them to be on creating a new scene. If you then do File - Save Preferences, you’ll be OK even in the extremely unlikely event that you should crash before exiting. Hope this helps, Jill From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Ben Beckett Sent: November-04-14 8:46 AM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: more maya.. Its a easy fix. go, file, new scene, click the little box set it once in there. Once you open one new scene from there all scenes will be it until you change it. If you crash before you close maya you will need to redo it.

Re: Friday Flashback #195
You could put a quadruple titan station inside, an array of flashing led lights in the front, and have that as your supercomputer render node :] On 11/03/14 5:13, Andi Farhall wrote: http://www.futuretech.blinkenlights.nl/pcw9-90pi4d25.html first machine i used. could handle up to 32mb of ram. and brown was still cool. ... http://www.hackneyeffects.com/ https://vimeo.com/user4174293 http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andi-farhall/b/496/b21 http://www.flickr.com/photos/lord_hackney/ http://spylon.tumblr.com/
