RE: Custom Param Set
In a way yes. The scene is running as a simulation with an extremely significant amount of ICE driving it. Its working reliably and I don't want to mess with it. The new objects and their appearance are really quite simple but integrating them in the proper place now would only be best of I used ICE to automate them as part of the existing workflow, which would be preferable. The point is if I were to use ICE for this it would not be applied specific to the element being designed, but that ICE would be used to actually generate or managed the elements as part of other structure that is already governed by ICE and integrated to that. The time involved to integrate in the proper place now, and test properly, would be quite significant. The irony to ICE I suppose, building it takes some time up front, but it can save hours or days downstream. Further, I had not done this in a while, figured it was really simple, and it is (presuming you remember how to do it). -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) MYMIC Technical Services NASA Langley Research Center __ Opinions stated here-in are strictly those of the author and do not represent the opinions of NASA or any other party. -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage- boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Matt Lind Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 6:14 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: Custom Param Set the command is SetExpr(), not SetExpression().

Re: Maya, sheesh!
Plugins aside, the process of actual animation is where I heard the least amount of complaining from XSI users concerning Maya. But it seems to be mostly setting (or fixing) custom stuff up (or making setups work) that's not quite the same experience. Which you can always figure out something to get to whatever your aiming for, without necessarily being so much of a Tehnichian in XSI, just by following feeling. (or intuition) And I dont think technicians should need to be a major, or even an equal part in a pipeline, because they somewhat more rare doing things more technically difficult, or to require artists to be almost equal parts 'technicians' themselves. But XSI's 'friendlyness' also very much appeals to the techiest of techs, having been described as like out of a 'TD's' wet dream xD On 02/10/15 17:54, Sofronis Efstathiou wrote: Maya f-curves editor out the box is pretty painful.

Re: Maya, sheesh!
That is only an issue for compiled stuff, anything where the actual plugin is Python/MEL (which includes those where Python fronts the plugin and the use of compiled libraries that don't link to the API libs is through Python bindings) will always go across versions fine unless the SDK itself had compatibility breaking changes between releases, and that's exceedingly rare, even deprecated stuff tends to stay around for years).

RE: Custom Param Set
So yes, AddExpression was what I was looking for. I’ve managed to get the
element working and exported as a model. In hindsight this was a very simple
thing to do. Took all of nine lines of extra code added to the wizard
generated property page and a handful of extra single line expressions. The
result is a simple Model export of a glow ball, with a constant size relative
the camera and a custom settings window. I can reuse the Model multiple times
in the same scene with no namespace conflicts. Had I been more familiar with
the proper syntax, this would have taken very little time to set up. The render
tree and incidence shader setup was probably the most complex thing in the
model.
Thanks everybody
I’m gonna really miss this software….

Re: Sj_radio shader?
I don't think that would exist for another platform. We used those years ago and were, if I remember correctly, some shaders created by a Softimage dev. Eric T.

Re: Maya, sheesh!
There's not a lot of meat in your original question. There are tons of modes, user preferences, tools and hotkeys in XSI, three different ways to do things, probably everyone uses it differently. Can you be more precise and compare specifically what you do in XSI vs Maya and people can answer specifically that. I think these plugins links are shots in the dark.

RE: Softimage 2015 SP1
There is a workaround to allow them to exist together. Please have a look at Luc-Eric's earlier post below: install does a lot more, but if you already have 2015 installed, just copying SP1 over and registering it will work. note: you can do these steps on a single machine: copy softimage 2015 folder to softimage 2015.old, uninstall 2015, install 2015 SP1, copy the 2015.old back, do a runonce.bat on 2015 and now you have both build installed on your PC.

So copying the folder plus running runonce.bat really is the _full_ equivalent of a normal install? (provided that all dependencies like redistributables, ... are already present, of course) Cool, I wasn't aware of that - I always assumed there was something else going on during install besides file copying and invoking that .bat file. Thanks for that info, that's really helpful.

Re: Maya, sheesh!
The problem with all those tools is that as soon as maya 2016 is out they are not compatible anymore. And in case someone stops the development of a plugin you start from scratch. 2015-02-11 11:29 GMT+01:00 Gerbrand Nel nagv...@gmail.com: Attempts don’t equal results.
