Re: Animated booleans now and then

[wavo]

Hello,

Am 8/28/2017 um 11:28 PM schrieb Sven Constable:

Hi list,

I had several projects lately  that involved animated booleans with 
CAD data, which is problematic sometimes. I used the old BoolTrace 
shader by Alan Jones but it has its drawbacks: With many objects, 
using different materials, it's hard to  keep track of the shaders. 
Another problem was, that there is a limitation in the shader with 
reflections. Let's say you have a box and a sphere and the box is 
cutting the sphere in half. If another objects that is reflective, 
intersects the cutting volume (the box) it will reflect the box by 
it's primary rays. I assume that is because the shader interchanges 
primary and secondary rays under the hood. I could potentially get it 
solved by using passes/partition trickery or another shader to get 
selective reflections on object basis. However, this becomes quite 
complicated with a handful ob objects, all using different materials.


On some projects I switched back to real (geo) booleans and fixed the 
"popping" of meshes by slighty adjusting the fcurves or cleaning the 
topology a bit, but its a hack. On another project I got away with 
slightly incorrect reflections using render time booleans. At the end 
it worked somehow but it was almost never elegant or straight forward.


Is there an alternative to the (rather old) booltrace shader for XSI? 
Anything for redshift in that area? Last, not least, how do you 
approach animated booleans with complicated/heavy meshes nowadays?


Thanks,

Sven

Re: Alembic file from Maya to Softimage 2015

[wavo]

hello Leoung,

when did it crash?! during the loading process or when softimage trys to 
build the scenery

in the viewport?
Did you try to merge the saved scene in a fresh new Scene,
another option mute first the viewport/s and the merge, if this works 
check the Alembic-path.
Maybe it can also be a security-problem with the files, start softimage 
on the other computer as an administrator and then try to load the scene .
And last to check I dont no if softimage saves the alembics when 
Externals Files is set to Copy All but give it a try!


 good luck

I've always believed the long term strategy was to retire
Softimage from the day it was part of the Autodesk portfolio. The
assets they were buying were the development team. In the interim
years parts of Maya have been informed by Softimage and MCG in Max
is very much a cousin of ICE (with a twist of Rhino's Grasshopper
to boot).

You only have to look at what's happened since Autodesk purchased
the Rhino T-Splines plugin (SubD for CAD). No real improvements
for Rhino customers for years and then in November T-Splines in
Rhino is retired. Meanwhile over at Autodesk, T-Splines is now a
key toolset in three different Autodesk CAD products - Fusion 360,
Inventor and Alias Speedform (part of most Alias Design Suite
products). Fusion is free for non commercial use, $300 per annum
for commercial, Inventor is $2k per annum and Alias Speedform
which is pretty much the T-Splines technology on it's own with a
snazzy bespoke UI/UX, and can only be purchased with Alias
products which start at about $2.5k per annum and rise to $25k for
the Auto suite. A$300 plugin leveraged across all those key
Autodesk products and Rhino customers left with a plugin that
won't function with the forthcoming Rhino 6. Merciless is putting
it kindly.

Autodesk as a company had missed it's earnings per share

because of that) the least successful of the three similar

panicked push for cost-cutting, XSI may have been around a
while longer. As I understood it, the purchases from Japan
had dried up for a while. There were multiple games that
had been in development for a few years that were coming
to the end of their devs cycles, had been version locked
and would have been renewed at that point.

Anyway, conjecture on my part, but I think it's not fair
to get angry at one person for a corporate entity's
missteps and falsehoods. I'm just pissed that Autodesk
bought them in the first place, the writing was on the

Re: correcting shapekeys

[wavo]

Yes this is what i mean :)

thanks for the Gear-hint, Gear is already installed and still amazing i 
will have a look


thanks

If I understand correctly you already have some shapes correcting 
deformation for example on the arms, and now you want to add another 
shape that corrects something in the mouth, and when you try to save 
this shape, it is wrong because also includes the shape correcting the 
arms?


If you install gear, there is a very nice script, that lets you select 
some points and a blend shape and lets you remove the shape 
contribution of those selected points so you isolate only the part 
that you actually need.

Hello Hardcore-Softies

i need some help  with correcting existing shapes on an enveloped

These already correct the envelope deformation. Now I want
additional shapes which will correct the resulting shape, in this
case when the mouth is open.
What I tried: changing the rotation of the mouthbone to the
desired deformation (mouth is open) then set the value of the
shape in this case "smile" to 1, then switching to secondary-mode
make some move component to correct the geomety and after that I
store a Shape key.
But unfortunately this new shape i not correct because this shape
stores also the existing deformation inside but i want only the
new move components!
Shape Preferences -reference is set to Local Relative, rest is
default Softimage.

ps. I also tried this:  shape and envelope-deformation with
desired values, than in secondary changing the geometry ,mute the
animationmixer -apply shapekey , moving this new shape from the
mixer/source/shape inside the animationmixer than the
movecomponent will be automatical deleted, and i have the shape
only with the new changes , its working but now the shapemanager
"says" that this feature is not supported! I can only link the
shapes oldschool via the animationmixer! now dear reader you would
say "wtf! this is already the solution! copy this shape and paste
it to your original setup scene then you have it!" but maybe there
is a better way?!

In short. correcting existing shapes with adding a new shape.

Re: Weights Plugin

Many thanks,

downloaded!

right now i dont see what all is possible but i see in the panel buttons 
for mirror weights!,(since version 2010(12?) i often have

problems with mirroring weights) alone for this button its a awesome tool!,

thank you very much

I finally decided to share the weights tool I've been writing for the

https://vimeo.com/191796419

Everything is in Python and Jscript. I rewrote some commands in 
JScript to make it faster because Python was like 3 times slower to 
just get the Weights array. Now that I think about it VBScript would 
have been a little faster.
Probably I should try C to handle more deformers faster, but it is 
doing the job for our current game project.


I've included a workgroup with PySide and PyQtForSoftimage for easy 
installation but I'm not sure if I'm infringing something with this. 
If there is any problem please let me know and I'll pull it out.

Re: Bad scenes or geometry crashing

[wavo]

Hi Morten,
I guess you checked already what to do, the only way what i can say is 
to uncheck

(if checked!)
in the preferences  the Detect corrupted polygon meshes... inside the 
Datamangement/Scene Debugging-tab! but only a fresh/first import from maya ,


then the merge into scene(but you did this already)
then check the meshes  -select one point with rectangle select  to test 
doublepoints
 -remove 
envelope-deformers, deformes etc to find the problem
  -filter points and 
check the pointcount
  -export only the 
meshes from Maya and check the display.
  -check the modelling 
stack maybe there are dissolveComponent when You use the Detect 
corrupted   polygon meshes...


best wishes

Walter

I have run into the odd situation with a scene which crashes xsi when saving 
after making a number of changes, ie. materials, groups, passes and partitions, 
all run of the mill stuff.

The geometry (which is relatively complex - 1939 objects 28+ million polys) 
comes from Maya but is likely generated from CAD software, judging by the poor 
tesselation and joins between surfaces in the modeling.

In Maya the model looks fine shaded upon initial inspection, but when selected 
displays corrupt geometry on a number, but not all, of the individual pieces in 
Viewport 2. Switching to legacy viewport removes the visual glitches... but 
hardly the problem. The problem is like having an extreme randomize node on 
some of the parts, pointy polygons sticking in all directions, changing as the 
model is orbited. I hoped to be able to clean it up somehow and exported it as 
fbx into xsi, where, initially, it looked fine and saved and loaded fine, until 
I started working with the scene.

So my question here is if anybody has good ideas regarding how to possibly 
clean up the geometry, troubleshoot and pinpoint bad geometry - anything that 
can help identify and select the bad parts, and if possible, also fix them? I 
have removed Maya Usernormals (Arnold doesn't like them), merged the scene in, 
and am now in the proces of dotxsi'ing it out and back in in order to perhaps 
shed some bad data on the culprits. I was thinking obj export would be so 
rudimentary it might throw unwanted stuff away, but the modle is quite complex 
hierarchially, so atm I consider it a no go.

Any pointer will be much appreciated.

hi Pierre,

 something similar:

make a lattice, child to the interest and then translation to

to the camera, change the axis and turn on upvector, resize
the lattice to actual field-of-view raise the subdivision to
level of detail you want and deform your scene-objects,
shapemanager to modify and store shapes.will also work with
hair but if your objecktmoving in space than it has some
strange movement, because of the lattice (warp) and not so
easy to controll when lot of Shares.

I Attaché an emdl with an simple Setup, rename the .jpg to

far. AD 3dsMAX tutorials from japan show a lattice
directly deforming a character

to give "anime deformation/exageration for cámera" (I know
sometimes they cheat

by scaling really big things in front of the camera), but
added help would be a lattice

deformer directly over the entire area of interest from
camera.

In addition, has anyone take a similar approach on
softimage? Somehow we can´t directly

warp stuff the camera sees with a lattice..

How possible is it to achieve this effect on SI?

Re: XSI and Window 10, the bright future

[wavo]

just for info,

after installing win10 you have one month to switch back to 7 or 8.1(at 
least in germany!),

after this time you have to set up older version manually

Re: Service Pack 1 available

[wavo]

Am 12/3/2014 3:20 PM, schrieb Oliver Weingarten:

Hey Jill,

Thanks for that info.

You might understand that we did not expect much from this SP1 as AD 
already killed our software. But this "huge" list of around 10 bugs 
fixed it even a lot less anybody expected to be a "Service Pack" 
people might even pay for via subscription. By the way, is it our job 
to make sure that critical bugs are locked..??
Despite that, breaking the ability to install service packs beside 
older installations totally misses daily production workflows. Before 
you "trust" a new version, you will test it for quite some time before 
you make the switch. Having to install/deinstall software to do so, is 
something politely expressed "unfortunate".


AD really knows how to "deliver better software faster". Congrats!

Cheers,
oli


exactly!!!

Hi all..

I have a machine that softimage has worked on consistently for YEARS.

today... it decided to open up with this error:
"Failed to save scene before system failure"

then its gone.

ive tried a ton of the troubleshooting ive found thru google
searches with no success..

can anyone point me to any other options?


things ive tried thus far (not in this order):

- checked the registry for issues related to jscript and vbscript
(nothing found)
- uninstalled any newly added software
- renamed the user preferences
- double checked graphics driver issues by
  a) editing the layout file to open with the explorer rather than
the view manager
  b) reinstalled an approved graphics driver
- installed 2 new clean versions of softimage (2014 and 2014 sp2)
- runonce.bat (all all versions) - nothing showed up that i saw
- launched xsibatch.. it worked

i also tried the process manager... but.. i couldnt find anything
outstanding.. though i admit at a certain point.. i got
confused..and stopped reading thru it.

thanks for anyone that can help.

I have a Lagoa fluid simulation which has several geo emitters

filled emitter geometry is totally regular - see attached.


I have increased the number of particles (a lot), Perform Space Check, 
Fill Space and Closed Volume are on, so this is very puzzling. I emit 
particles once at frame 1. Does someone know of a bug, thing to do or

Friday Flashback #143

Some SOFTIMAGE|3D screen captures, and some other stuff, from a NAB 
1996 video about SOFTIMAGE | DS. I think the parrot character was 
named "Rudy" or "Ruby", and was used to demo channels and motion capture.

Re: interaction lag

[wavo]

... in case that  the character has more than one deformer (e.g. shape 
envelope push etc. )

 turn it of step by step to see where is the vault
sorry, i would also delete the particlestuff only to expulse!

but i guess you checked this already

I'm emitting particles and strands on the mesh, but its all hidden.
I tried the merge into new scene, but I still have the lag.
This is 2013 btw.. I'll check 2014, but we cant move the project there

I was hoping there was a display setting I was missing.

Thanks for the input guys

I've rigged this character, and the interaction is a bit weird.
When I navigate around the geometry, everything is real time.
When I select a part of the rig and start transforming, there is
a few seconds of "dead softimage" and then it wakes up and works
in real time again.
This happens every time I start transforming on a new axis.
Any ideas?
Thanks people :)

Re: weightpaint bug

cant believe that this is/-was forever I rigged i guess more than 200

workaround is to re enter again the same value, so thanks for your 
workaround.

It's been there forever, and not only in absolute mode. It's probably 
due to a floating point rounding error. It's so easy to fix that it 
has never been a problem.
The fix: select your whole mesh, then make sure no locks are set in 
the Weight Editor, click on any deformer column to select all the 
values for that deformer, and add 0 with the normalize option turned on.



PS: I remember stumbling upon the website of your company a few years 
ago... I had a good time fighting that yellow character! :)

  Select the Curves then change in Fcurve-editor to "Absolute

Re: Advice on learning depth compositing Softimage files in AE?

[wavo]

Hello,

if you using Frischluft or another post-dof and you have the 
renderpower, than render the Z-channel  twice as large, match the beauty 
to the Z-channel size,make your composit and  after that rescale it to 
the output-format.

2013/8/13 Nancy Jacobs mailto:illus...@mip.net>>

Hi,

Can anyone point me to a book or any other current information
about depth compositing (the output Softimage is capable of) in
After Effects? Yes I wish I had Nuke, or that Digital Fusion
hadn't discontinued its low-end product DFX. And I wish that
Softimage put out rpf files, or something that would contain depth
info in the main fileand object info...

It appears that depth compositing in After effects is a very messy
business anyway, so ANY advice, or pointers toward where I can
learn this Softimage/AE combo would be much appreciated. And
plugins perhaps? I'm stuck with AE.

I would also like to use object ID info. I have not been able to
find enough information to be able to do any of this, and have
been looking and experimenting for days. AE documentation is
sorely lacking.

I would like to learn all this in some depth, please advise!
Thanks,
Nancy

Everything works perfect until rendering. The XSI render process continuing

runs out of memory. To fix this I've to restart XSI to free the occupied memory.

Is this a memory leak bug?
