Re: OpenGL in Object View

[Martin Yara]

Thanks a lot that was it !

When I change my camera's mode to shaded, constant, etc, it also changes
the Object View's camera because they are the same camera. But when I
change it to OpenGL, or HighQuality in my camera (main view), everything in
my Object View disappear and the view mode turns blank.

I have to manually change the view mode in my Object View when using OpenGL
or HighQuality. Once my Object View is in OpenGL, it doesn't change it's
view mode with my main view, so I can have the same camera with different
view modes, which I don't think it was intended but it's kinda cool and
useful.

Thanks again

Martin

Re: OpenGL in Object View

[Matt Lind]

There are certain features that do not work for OpenGL shade setting in 
object view.  However, you need to write your own custom shaders to run into 
those limitations.

That said, make sure your viewport shading settings are set to "Realtime 
Shaders -> OpenGL" and not just "Realtime Shaders".  Realtime Shaders is a 
parent menu option setting for the type of shading you want for the viewport 
(e.g; OpenGL, DirectX, HLSL, CGFX, ...).  In some versions of Softimage 
choosing Realtime Shaders will default to also setting "OpenGL", but latter 
versions of the application stopped doing that.  Therefore you must manually 
click and set the menu explicitly.

Hi, I've always used Object View as a separated floating viewport to check
the results of my scene outside of my main viewers, but I've just realized
that it doesn't work with OpenGL.

Is there any way to make it work?

I need to check the real time shaders results, and it would improve my
workflow if I could do it in my secondary monitor.

Highlight the factor you want to change, then type in the variable

"*=4".for instance

So if the value you have is 10, and you want to make it 12..

Highlight "10"
Then type "+=2"

maya in line calculations

[Eugene Flormata]

does anyone know if maya can do in-line equations in their input boxes like
XSI did?
where you can put like 7*2 directly in an input box and it just gives the
result?
or should I always just have a calculator open?

I'm not even sure what it's called in xsi so I can't begin to search a
solution on the net either

RE: OpenGL in Object View

[Sven Constable]

are there specific shaders that don't work? I did a quick check in 2015 and 
seems to work in the object view. I didn't know of any bugfixes regarding 
realtime shaders since v2013 so I'm wondering if it's something specific to 
your installation?

Re: OpenGL in Object View

[Luc-Eric Rousseau]

Do you not have a drop down to pick change the viewing mode to
Realtime Shader? If
that doesn't do what you expect, chose the same camera that you're
using in the viewport.
the viewing mode is a camera property
