Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Steven Caron]

Could you wrap your code with an OpenUndo/CloseUndo. Then all commands
between will be treated as one distinct command? I use it all the time to
collapse all commands into a single high-level command named "do man
awesome things" ;)

the script log and be affected by the undo/redo commands.   If you use
Application.ExecuteCommand( "GetWeights", aArguments );, it will be

There's a 3rd method to invoke a command from inside of a plugin, but I'd
have to exhume a lot of old code to remember what that was.  Just be aware

Thanks for your answer.

I had the misconception that the undo stack was related with the repeat
command. I realized it isn't.

I have a jscript command that gives me the weights array to work it on my
python plugin because getting the array in Python is like 3 times slower.

I use this command to refresh my weights GUI so not being able to undo it
shouldn't give any problems since it isn't changing anything.

So I use another command like paste weights and then my refresh command run
automatically and I can't repeat my paste weights command because the last
command was the Jscript GetWeights.

Re: mountains

By the way Chris, just took a peek at the ICE solution you shared earlier
in the thread, really elegant. Especially like the way the main and sub
ranges are fed by the position of two control curves.

Nice.  :)

There's a cool OTL on Orbolt for VDB booleans, which is ace for
canyons/caves and such like. The VDB tools in Houdini are peerless.

Re: Worn Edges

[Jonathan Moore]

That edge shader of Reinhard's is great, although it's only compatible with
Mental Ray out of the box (AFAIK).

It's easy enough to bake down and use with Arnold or Redshift, so the MR
only thing isn't too much of a problem.

Hi Rob,


Thanks I'll take a look at that. The Mill don't really use Soft anymore - it's 
all shifted to Houdini and Maya - this is just some personal RnD stuff - in a 
backward going forward kinda way [?]

Franckly it's not that bad that Houdini is something different. Nothing
bugs me more than the simple pillaging of SI feature into Maya.

There were lots of clues given at the Roadmap presentation at Siggraph last
July that workflow for more traditional animation workflows are a major
part of the H16 plan but I don't think Houdini will ever be a direct
Maya/XSI replacement. It's procedural 'operating system' like core is just
too different for that to ever happen. But it's ability to be more friendly
for direct modeling and non procedural animation workflows definitely seem
to be part of SideFX's plan and I have a feeling much of this will be
unveiled at the H16 launch.

 Thanks. This solution is good because it's almost realtime to generate 
 and
 I can quickly draw the curves that define the mountain ranges etc.
 It essentially uses the distance between the curves and surface to 
 push up
 the peaks. Then some turbulence multiplied in there, plus I've added a 
 null
 to act as a height centre for the highest peak.

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Martin]

Thanks for your answer.

I had the misconception that the undo stack was related with the repeat 
command. I realized it isn't.

I have a jscript command that gives me the weights array to work it on my 
python plugin because getting the array in Python is like 3 times slower.

I use this command to refresh my weights GUI so not being able to undo it 
shouldn't give any problems since it isn't changing anything.

So I use another command like paste weights and then my refresh command run 
automatically and I can't repeat my paste weights command because the last 
command was the Jscript GetWeights.

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Matt Lind]

First question is - why on earth do you need to not leave a trace in the 
undo stack?  What are you doing that requires this line of thinking in 
execution?

To answer your question - only the Softimage developers know for sure, but I 
don't think it's possible.  If it were, I would think it would open a big 
can of worms leading to lots of problems you really don't want to deal with 
as you're basically asking Softimage to selectively ignore something while 
still going about it's business as if nothing happened.

The problem is anything you do in the application has many dependencies 
which are linked and synchronized.  If you have to undo operations, that 
dependency chain gets all messed up as undoing operations will lead to a 
situation where the 'undo' will create a scenario that never existed in the 
first place.  For example, create a cube, subdivide it with the dice option, 
extrude one polygon with 10 subdivisions, delete one of the subdivisions, 
then smooth the mesh.  Oh, and tell Softimage to remove the dice operation 
from the undo stack as if it never happened, but keep the results it 
produced.  The minute you undo past the extrude operation, you'll 
essentially rewrite history of the scene because the extrusion is dependent 
on the outcome of the dice operation to know which polygon to extrude.  If 
the polygon chosen has an index greater than 5, then it's not physically 
possible to undo the extrude because a cube only has 6 polygons in range 
[0...5].  Softimage would likely freak out trying to resolve this problem 
and crash.  If it survived, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to the data as 
it would likely be very corrupted.  A host of other issues are possible too.

The commands you found only address whether the execution of a command 
appears in the script history log, or whether they can be undone by a single 
key stroke vs. multiple key strokes.  That is not the same as the undo stack 
which records the state of the scene.

>From experience I'll say if you ever have to consider undo as a necessary 
step in your workflow, then something is very, very wrong with your plan.

From: Martin Yara 
Subject: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)
To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com"

Hi,

Is it possible, in Scripting, to execute a command without leaving a trace
in the undo stack?

I want to execute 2 commands a() and b() in that order, but I want to be
able to use Repeat to use a() again, not b().

b() command is only a command to get data so it shouldn't break anything if
I skip that command when undoing or repeating.

I've found 'TermUndoRedo' in the SDK manual but it is only for C++ API.

Thanks

Martin

Exciting! There must be a reason I've not looked at Maya over the past 15
years, been holding off, but time is ticking.

Re: Executing a Command without undo (Scripting)

[Martin Yara]

I can't find a solution to this but I finally understood 2 things:

The Cmd.SetFlag(262144,false) makes the command undoable, but if this
command is using other commands inside, they will be undoable.
This Flag don't affect at all Repeat last command.

Is there anyway to manipulate, or manually set which command Repeat should
use as the last executed command?

 Hi,

 Is it possible, in Scripting, to execute a command without leaving a
 trace in the undo stack?

 I want to execute 2 commands a() and b() in that order, but I want to
 be able to use Repeat to use a() again, not b().

 b() command is only a command to get data so it shouldn't break
 anything if I skip that command when undoing or repeating.

 I've found 'TermUndoRedo' in the SDK manual but it is only for C++ API.

 Thanks

 Martin
