 Any thing I may check up on a folder, perhaps?

Re: Installing AAOcean in Softimage 2014

2016-07-05 Thread Stephen Blair 
>From two years ago on this list, here's how I installed aaOcean for
Softiamge 2014


download from here:
https://bitbucket.org/amaanakram/aaocean/downloads



For the Arnold version, you can install like this:

Copy
aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\Shader\aaOcean.dll
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins\bin\nt-x86-64


Copy
aaOcean\Arnold\Arnold-4.2.0.6-windows\SItoA\aaOcean.spdl
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\spdl


Copy
aaOceanRev255\aaOcean\Softimage\Softimage2014\aaOceanDeformer.dll
to
$WORKGROUP\Addons\SItoA\Application\Plugins



$WORKGROUP is just my workgroup location. For example:
C:\Users\StephenBlair\Documents\softimage\workgroups\sitoa-3.2.0-2014



For mental ray, it would be similar, but you won't be installing into the
Addons folder of a workgroup.

Re: Installing AAOcean in Softimage 2014

2016-07-05 Thread Amaan Akram 
you can always use "kick.exe -nodes" on windows to check if arnold can see
your required shader. if it can, it's highly likely that you've set up your
workgroup XSI folder incorrectly.

there are no sample scenes on foam, but have a look at the eigen vectors
and eigen values to see how you could do an ICE particle sim on top.
