Re: [PLUG] mGear Teaser
I'm not a rigger but I've rigged in Maya a few times and it was quite painful. I've got to try this. Thanks Miquel ! Let me buy you a beer for this next time. Martin

Re: Digital Tutors - All tutorials free for 3 days (if I read correctly).
I found that the vast majority of Houdini rigging tutorials are dreadful (dt or othewise). the 3dbuzz ones are still workable and relatively solid. Where they go a bit manky, it's easy enough to correct with a modicum of rig experience. for getting back into Maya, i gave up, dug out my old farenheight digital and Shliefer AFR dvds and just used vimeo and blogs to fill in the gaps. -- Jon Swindells jon_swinde...@fastmail.fm On Thu, Jan 29, 2015, at 07:50 PM, John Richard Sanchez wrote: > Yes I should finally get around to watching those.

Re: AbcExport Command
There is no such things : )
Yes I had Python on and now that I tested it on other machine it worked
fine. Weird.
I will have to ivestigate this tomorrow.

Re: Feather System
Hi Morten, thanks for the feedback. It is already possible to create simulated feathers with syflex (or momentum), altough it requires some setup. here's a rough test: https://vimeo.com/118137118 (I'm cheating on the the ruffling feathers - they are not really simulated, but only turbulized, which is ok depending on the distance to camera) 2015-01-29 11:37 GMT-02:00 Cristiano Policarpo < cristiano.polica...@baloom.co>: > Very cool Fabricio, thank you! > > > On Friday, January 23, 2015, Fabricio Chamon wrote: > >> Hi soft people! >> >> after the tragic softimage EOL announcement, I'm slowly learning >> houdini/maya.

AbcExport Command
Hi,
I`m having confusing times with the 2015 AbcExport command.
I can`t seem to get the arguments right. I have even tried to create empty
scene with sphere and export it by hand and then copying the command
arguments and running it with no success.
This is what SI gives me when running the command trough menu :
"Application.AbcExport("C:\\Users\\JUHANI\\Desktop\\export.abc", 1, 100,
"sphere", False, "Ogawa", "Color, Scale, Size, PointVelocity, Orientation,
AngularVelocity, Shape, StrandPosition, StrandVelocity, StrandDeform,
StrandOrientation, StrandUpVector, StrandColor, StrandSize,
ColorAlongStrands", "Materials, MaterialID, PointUserMotions", "")"
and if I run it with python it gives me argument error.
I was suspecting it had something to do with the file path but I have made
all sorts of variations without success. : / (and with selection and
default values)
Does anyone have any examples how to work with the command?
Thanks,
- J
