Re: SimulatedFrameFraction on polymesh ?
I may be totally wrong but isn’t ‘SimulatedFrameFaction’ the amount of time for each simulation step – so time divided by steps. I believe I have come across this SimulatedFrameFaction inside one of the factory compounds, but which one? the first ones that come to mind are ‘state’ and ‘simulate particles or rigid bodies’ or perhaps ‘bounce’. or wasn’t there a simulation root with integrated states? as a hack you can just create it I’d go for a scalar value of 1 and save it as self.SimulatedFrameFaction (per cloud not per particle I’d say) and see if this helps? that said – you might not really need a state machine! you can get a lot done by just adding an integer value as per particle data and using conditions based on this data. get data > self.mystate > if = 1 > execute ... (I hope that’s not too cryptic?) the ‘case’ node is particularly useful for this – plug self.mystate (integer number) into condition and add as many case inputs as states you want – and plug execute nodes in there. think of each execute node as a hub for all you want to do with a particular state – set data (set color to see what’s happening!), add forces, filter,... anything really. changing states is as simple as setting self.mystate to some other number and next step it’s done. The cool thing is that this plays nice with your regular simulation, while the state machine can interfere and change behavior (perhaps precisely because of this simulated frame faction) I imagine you have islands in your mesh that have to switch between paper and cloth based on some condition? that approach should work fine for that. (if the ‘simulate mesh’ can work on a designated part of the mesh – I don’t know if it does) From: Olivier Jeannel Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2016 4:35 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: SimulatedFrameFraction on polymesh ?

Re: Weight Tools
You can create a plugin that adds the paths to the sys.path, it should be loaded before all the other plugins.

Re: Weight Tools
Thanks for your response. So far, after a couple of days fighting with PySide and Python, I've been able to reuse the GUI. In my tests, it works fine with Softimage 2013 and 2015. I couldn't use an external Python I don't know why, SI just kept crashing, so I installed Python 2.6, pywin and PySide and copied the PySide folders into Softimage's Python Lib\site-packages Folder. So far so good, Softimage 2015 also kept crashing with an external Python 2.7 so I did the same and it's working fine. Is there any way to just add these PySide to the Python path everytime Softimage starts up without modifying the setenv.bat ? I did something similar with Maya 2013 adding PySide folders with a simple sys.path.append, it would be cool to do it like this in Softimage so I only have to distribute a Workgroup folder without installing anything. Now I only have to convert the code to Softimage.

Re: Weight Tools
You should be able to reuse the GUI as it is through PyQtForSoftimage (it's a pretty lightweight implementation, kudos to the people involved), but it requires the user to install the plugin + pyqt 4.8.x (I don't think the plugin is compatible with recent versions of qt as there are a lot of breaking changes on 5.x) and probably an external python 2.7... it's not a big deal but if the intent is to distribute the tool it will probably be an obstacle for a lot of people, or maybe the community is more tech savy nowadays... who knows :) On Sat, Mar 19, 2016 at 2:47 AM, Martin Yara wrote: > In Maya I'm using a heavily modified version of a script called > skinWrangler. > (I'm writing Maya Python like crazy these days, and to be honest, it's > pretty cool.
