RE: Getting consistent path to property in scene

[Dave]

Hi Matt,

 

What version of XSI are you using? 

 

Using XSI 2013 SP1 on Windows, with a sphere with a default texture, running
the following Python

 

import win32com.client

from win32com.client import constants as c

import types, string, sys, os

 

xsi = win32com.client.Dispatch( 'XSI.Application' ).Application

log = xsi.LogMessage

log(xsi.Dictionary.GetObject("sphere.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Te
xture_Projection.Texture_Projection_Def.projtrsu").FullName)

 


produces the following

 

# INFO :
sphere.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection.Texture_Proje
ction_Def.projtrsu

 

 

Which seems to work with the path obtained from Parameter.FullName, unless
I'm missing the obvious

 

Dave

That would be an alternate route to doing this:

var ObjectID = oProjectItem.ObjectID;

 

var oObject = Dictionary.GetObject( "Object<" + ObjectID +
">", false );

 

Which in itself is a shortcut to using
XSIUtils.DataRepository.GetIdentifier().   

 

 

Unfortunately it's only valid in the current session.  Can't use that in an
import/export environment.

I just did a quick test and as it turns out, UniqueName is exposed to script
despite not being mentioned on the doc page
http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2013/en_us/sdkguide/index.
html?url=si_om/SIObject.html,topicNumber=si_om_SIObject_html . 

 

I made a cube with a projection, ran this VBScript:

 

SelectObj "cube.polymsh.cls.Texture_Coordinates_AUTO.Texture_Projection"

logmessage selection(0).UniqueName

 

It produced this output, which matches the unique name shown in the SDK
explorer.

 

' INFO : Texture_Projection<338>

 

I was able to select the object using this name in vbscript, 

 

SelectObj "Texture_Projection<338>"

 

Again I don't know if that will help you but I figured I'd mention it since
the docs don't show UniqueName as being available.

I am having the issue with clusters and anything inside of them.  So, yes,
it is related.

 

I reported a similar issue with paths for parameters used in ICE trees a few
years back as the paths would be different depending how you obtained them,
but that was eventually fixed.

 

The specific items I'm having problems with the most are properties of type
'uvprojdef' which is the _Def property that resides directly under a texture
projection (property of type 'uvspace').  If I select the _Def in the scene
explorer, I get the correct paths.  If I obtain the _Def through any means
in scripting, I get the wrong path.

Not sure if this is the case, but the other day I had an issue where I was
not able to get path for cls uv properties. It was odd becuase it worked for
a single object in a loop but not for others. The only solutions I found to
use dynamic dispatch for the objects created. It totally solved the issue
for me. But that is the case for python.

Re: Gator and Curves

[Dave Thomlison]

Almost a year later I've used this script a few times now, I've always
gotten the same error message when trying to copy over weights


62 WeightsArray.push(NewWeights);
"// ERROR : Object doesn't support this property or method - [line 62]"

In the past the curves have always stuck fairly well to the geo so I
assumed it was working properly.  This latest time it seems to be ignoring
the geo's weights and is applying a new envelope as if I'd just set a new
envelope - lots of stretching between the curves.  Has anybody else run
into this?  Does anybody know of a workaround for copying weights from a
mesh to a curve?


Thanks,

Dave

Arnold plug-in install failure

[Dave Sisk]

Hopefully someone here has some experience with this sort of issue:

We're setting up some new workstations with Softimage 2015 SP1 and SItoA
3.4.0 2015, and I'm getting an error on startup, as follows:

// ERROR : 2006 - Unexpected failure. - [line 53 in
C:\pipe\softimage\workgroups\arnold\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\ArnoldTools.js]
// ERROR : 21000 - Unspecified failure - [line 4 in
C:\pipe\softimage\workgroups\arnold\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\ArnoldCommonShaderDef.js]

Additionally, Softimage says it cannot find the sitoa.dll library although
it it is present and accounted for.

Any advice you guys can send my way would be most appreciated.

Solved: It turns out it was a conflict with emFluid5.

Generating and animating 4-polytopes in Softimage/ICE

[Dave Sisk]

We're looking at the possibility of animating a 120-cell rotation for a
project, similar to the one halfway down the wikiepedia page for the thing
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/120-cell ).

Does anyone know where they would even start with such a thing?

If you're meeting up at Psyop I think the plan is to congregate at the

better, Whiskey Ward is shoulder to shoulder on Fridays.

ICE emit particles and follow branching geometry

[Dave Sisk]

Hi, I'm trying to create an effect with particles flowing from one several
ends of branching geometry to another of several ends on the same geometry.

Right now I'm working with Flow Along Curve and a bunch of
partially-overlapping curves that go from one end to the other, but since
ICE is pretty limited in what you can plug a geometry port into, I'm
running into a LOT of duplication that makes adding or removing curves a
labor intensive process.

Is there another approach to this I should be trying?

Thanks,
Dave Sisk

Re: ICE emit particles and follow branching geometry

[Dave Sisk]

Thanks for the responses guys.

I've continued with my "brute force" method for now because it gets the job
done. It involves several "Select Case" nodes with 29 cases each though, so
you can imagine why I was reluctant to string that up. :)

I've tried the suggested approach, but I usually get a jump to the same
curve over and over again when they overlap instead of continuing along
their first curve.

Crosswalk in Maya

[Dave Gallagher Softimage]

Hi all! My computer died and I've been reconstructing my work 
environment in a new one.


Question. How do I get dotxsi importing in Maya? I assume its related to 
the Crosswalk install which I think happens when I install Softimage. I 
already installed Softimage before the Maya installs. So do I install it 
again? How does that work exactly?


Thanks,
Dave G

shape mirror scripting need (paid)

[Dave Gallagher Softimage]

Hello! I would like to pay someone to write a script for me.

When I update blendshapes on one side of the body or face, I now use 
gShapeTools>Mirror Shape Key (thank you, Jeremie Passerin!) which 
mirrors the shapes and makes new mixer items. I then have to turn on 
each of those mirrored shapes and solo them, find the one it's mirrored 
to and replace that shape key, one by one.

I want a script to:
register which shapes I have selected in the Explorer (or maybe tracks 
in the Mixer) and
mirror those
copy the mirrored shapes to the corresponding other side, according to 
my naming standards. If a mirrored shape doesn't exist, it prints an 
error, but continues with others.
e.g. browContractNegLf  > browContractNegRt
(Sometimes there are two side markers in a single shapename:)
e.g.  browInLfBrowContractLf >  browInRtBrowContractRt

Then cleanup/delete any of the parts.

So the workflow would be for me to maybe work on a bunch of left side 
shapes, then select those updated shapes and hit a button to push those 
updates to the already existing right shapes, in one click.

(I know many people don't use the Mixer for this, but I have very good 
reasons I do.)

Let me know if you can help. Thanks!
Dave G

Re: redshift materials show gray in viewport

[Dave Gallagher Softimage]

Good thought Matt. But in Softimage 2011 it appears to work fine when 
applying a texture to a Phong, but not when I switch to the redshift 
material.

However, when I remove the material and reapply it in Softimage 2014, I 
do see the texture after all, so it looks like it is a version issue.

I've sen sometimes that happens, mostly when more objects share same

shows fine.
Also in open GL settings of material choosing "Use specific image/UV 
pair" or "Track shader" instead of "Track shader tree" works.

Go to behance. Try to select (or suggest) you made something with 
Autodesk Softimage, the item list on the subject erases itself, and 
Autodesk Softimage doesn´t get input as a product anymore.


Darn. AD did a brilliant job erasing us from the map on America.

Fortunately on the other side of the planet, Softimage continues to 
hit hard. Another game conference, and CG production, shows how ROBUST 
(and I want it emphasize it on a Schwarzenegger accent) is Softimage 
in Japan!

The CG World JP workbook on 2016 is about street fighter V and guilty 
gear XXrd. A lot of tech screencaps and concepts, just in case you´re 
wondering how HIGH concept ASIA always had of softimage.


Cheers.
