Re: C++ XSI plugins and Fabric Engine

[Andruha Prostrelov]

Thank you Steven. Already have it.
I guess its way too complex example and its hard to figure out how should i
use this example of "how to implement Fabric Engine into your DCC"
in my problem "how to use\invoke Fabric Engine from Softimage C++ plugins".
I know that SpliceSoftimage git thread examples uses XSIPLUGINCALLBACKs
that register fabric Operators, Nodes, Propertys etc. But this examples
deffinitly not for begginers. I really have a hard time digging through it.

https://github.com/helgemathee/creationPlatformTutorials/commits/1.7
I found some simple examples at Helge Mathee git repository.
But not sure that this examples are useful since they was deprecated.

Re: The public SI freelancer Index

[Mirko Jankovic]

I do have better solution on mind this is more kinda prototype.
I had this idea for a while now but got pulled with worked. But I can
resurrect it again, I had contact before with some web people that can
create this so I'm gonna get to them again and start working on better
version. \Once it start we can get some ideas on organisation how to make
it easier  but will see to start first.

Re: Goodbyes (was this is the end...)

[Martin]

Most of us will definitely stay in the business (or hobby) and some of us will 
still using at some degree Softimage for years so I don't see why this list 
should disappear any time soon.

Thanks for the message. Uhm, Trello is a pinboard. I used back in 2014. We

Re: Unreal engine and softimage Gear

[Pierre Schiller]

Guys, I just checked out the u4 docs. Apparently none of the hierarchies
will work unless we setup a 0,0,0 bone root that will parent all the
skeleteon's rig hierarchy. Absurd. But atm I'm away from my machine. I
checked it out on my phone. I just asked a friend to send me the generic U4
humanoid character as .fbx with all its bones. I should create a temolate
of this hierarchy and recreate it on softimage constraining it to a Gear
rig, let's see if that works.

Cheers.

Re: Unreal engine and softimage Gear

[Enter Reality]

Tried a bit ago with Species, I also made a tutorial about that and
possibly the workflow should be the same

Softimage to UE4 

I haven't tried Gear in quite a bit so I'm not sure what's wrong with it

Right now I'm using Maya and its ART plugin for character rigs for UE4

C++ XSI plugins and Fabric Engine

[Andruha Prostrelov]

I'm noticed that there is no examples on "how to implement Fabric Engine
into XSI C++ Plugins"
Is that possible ? Can someone provide link or some code to understand.
The only one example from Fabric SDK is "Hello World" C++ script.
So far i know that Fabric 2.0 adds dfoSoftimageOp to object modelling stack
so i didn't sure that i can somehow use Fabric inside XSI Operators.
Maybe i should change native XSI Operator with Fabric Operator, but still i
cant find information on how to do it from XSI cpp plugins.

I wrte modelling tool and it should interact with user without PPG windows
etc.
And i'm not sure that FabricEngine have all events and callbaks that
provides XSI C++ API.

Any help would be gladly accepted.

Re: Unreal engine and softimage Gear

[Nono]

Hi guys this is possible !
I've done this a couple months ago but the process was so convoluted that I
don't recall well where the thing hang.
If my memory is correct you can have a working one by plotting the GLOBAL
matrix and not the classical Local one. Then you can try a first export
with all the bones cutted from any hierarchy (all in a flat hierarchy just
under the mesh, this is possible since you've just plotted the global
matrix ;-) ) this was working.

Now the process to obtain a working one keeping the hierarchy is out of my
mind for now.

Unreal engine and softimage Gear

[Pierre Schiller]

Hi fellows, I've been trying for the past 5 days to export the shadow group
(plotted) and my weighted mesh from softimage to unreal engine 4.0.9 to no
sucess with gear.

I animate the gear rig, select the shadow group, select child members, plot
animation, remove all constraints, select my mesh, then export .fbx
(selection only),(i'm not using crosswalk menu since I think it's the same
dialogue).

Then I drag/drop this character.fbx into unreal and importing options
doesn't show a name for the skeleton (import doesn't happen, import is
ghosted), so I go back on SI, uncheck slection only and U4 has the IMPORT
button enabled but crashes on import.

I'm really going nuts wih this, I can see the animation play fine on unity
(Rigging in Gear fom softimage to unity video there is on youtube). But U4
has me going really crazy at this point... Please help me.

Thanks.

Re: photoscan on peaople

[Tim Leydecker]

An alternative to using Photoscan might be a multi-Kinect setup using 
something like KScan
or Skanect or Microsoft´s SDK (as a start, I´m not sure multi-inputs are 
supported as sample

code in the SDK).

That will seriously limit the achievable mesh detail due to the Kinext´s 
sensor resolution
but the advantage is realtime capture since there is no need to 
calculate depth.


Snapshots in realtime are possible. Not clean scans but fragmented pose 
snapshots.

No shutter control thought...

I haven´t had the time to check out the Kinect One with any of the 
above, which would
have a higher sensor resolution but also a different way of capturing 
depth data that may

or may not work with your subjects.

I´ve read comments suggesting to add infrared light illumination to 
improve quality off

depth capture but sofar haven´t tried that either.

For Photoscan, make sure to compare the Pro Version with the Standard 
version.
You may need the Pro Version for the alignment features and Marker setup 
it offers.


In any way, it can take minutes to hours to see a result of a capture, 
which may add up

to too much time during a shoot.

Alternatives for photogrammetry based stuff are Nuke and PFTrack to 
generate pointcloud data,
especially PFTrack can give great set data to work with if no LIDARs are 
available.


I´ve seen collegues rebuild a location using multiple shots (scenes, 
sequences) e.g. plates covering weeks
of shooting and then extending that set to taste, with all camera 
positions tracked and aligned in worldspace
and real-world scale. Sounds tedious and overkill but actually saves 
endeless amounts of guesswork, gives
great sense of scale and helps people work out lighting situations or 
asset placements.


Related to capturing moving people the benefit is, you can have footage 
made to align based on the environment,

even if it´s not in the captured set.

One problem I have with the standard version of Photoscan is that it´s 
hard to force alignment to world and

generally real-world scales. That´s where the Pro version has more options.

Cheers,

tim

Thanks Adrian / Paul
It's that kind of stuff. A bit of action captured. I was thinking
we'd use about a dozen cameras, but I have a feeling it might need
to be many more. All synced, fast shutter, no motion blur etc.

We'd have a lot to do which is why I'm thinking of setting it up
ourselves. Just depends on the number of cameras that have the
right capabilities.

Cheers

If I'm correct, the guys at infinite realities
(http://ir-ltd.net/) use Agisoft for their full body scans.

Shooting for 3D models id a bit tedious at some points, but
there's a lot of examples to be found on Youtube and Vimeo.
To get really good 3D models, you need a LOT of photos from a
LOT of angles.

I'm not sure if moving people will work out for this stuff,
but am happily corrected if this is easily possible though.

a bush, but then wanted to convert the intances back to regular geo ?

that what it does ?
