Hey guys,
Can somebody (Stephen ;) ) confirm that the OBJ exporter is still
broken?
My issues so far:
- UVs are not optimized (not welded)
- If there is a user normal cluster UV data is not exported
Cheers

Hey List,
are you guys using SI2013 in production yet? Is it safe? I don't want
to be the one to stumble over a shader-disconnect bug at the end of
production if I can help it :)

I've been asking this question on Si Community some time ago but I think
it's not possible.

Should be a feature request?

If this is causing you a lot of problem, you can produce a small file (includes
your ICE and Ref Model) and reproduce the steps. I would then be able to pass
it to the Dev for investig
on the other side how's things with SI and Ubunty?

I had a similar problem not long ago. Try "enable" convert textures to
memory maps. Even though my scene wasn't anywhere near the memory limit
this fixed it. Not sure why but it's worth a try.

The issue with the OBJ exporter is it only exports a single sample cluster
property. A sample cluster property is any of type: Texture UVs, User Normal,
or Vertex Color. In our experience the OBJ exporter chooses and exports only
the most recently created sample cluster on the object.

Is that an inherent limitation to the obj format itself? User normals and uv's
appear to come out of max/maya properly no?

There is a limitation of OBJ only supporting 1 of each type of sample cluster
property per mesh. But in the case of the Softimage OBJ exporter, I'd call it
a design flaw as the user should be able to specify which of the existing

I'm generating a weight map on a mesh using a simple dot product of a null and
the surface points on the sphere. When I animate the sphere the weight map
generation is ignoring the transforms and acting as if the mesh is in a rest

How can I get the weight map tree to eval the mesh and i

So false alarm on that one.

Use Multiply Vector by Matrix to multiply sphere.PointPosition by
sphere.kine.global first. Then calculate the dot product.
When you get attributes like Sphere.PointPosition by explicit reference (i.e.
not reading at locations), you get the raw values, which are expressed relative
to the object
Thanks Graham! I can now get transform changes on the sphere working but
orientation changes to the sphere still seem to be borked. I'm guessing that
the orientation values aren't included in all of this?

To my knowledge OBJ supports one property of each type per mesh, but you should
look up the OBJ specs to verify as I'm merely reciting from memory and never
touch OBJ myself. I'm only familiar with the bugs that get reported to me
which I must investigate.
In the case of softimage, the bug is
Hi everyone,
For SPDL-based shaders, one can use the ui "mapping" statement to control

Is there an equivalent mechanism for plugin-based shaders?

hey there,
Hmmm .. last time with tried with Patrick we got it working on Ubuntu and
soft 2012.SAP. Downloaded the latest Ubuntu release today, but we haven't
give it a shot yet with 2013 (will wait for SP1 I guess).
I suspect it won't be much different, and icecache will still be a problem.

A lifetime ago I wrote an OBJ importer for Maya(1.5) that supported Wavefront

when TAV crossed over to Maya. Anyway the point is that OBJ has some
similarities to VRML, not in structure but in priniciple. It is a loos
I've always had problems with Maya OBJs in other applications like Faogen,
and usually I solve those problems exporting to FBX, importing in SI,
exporting from SI to OBJ.

you're not alone ;-)
