Hey folks, I was in trouble in the last two days. I had an image of a
room, and I had to build up the room's walls using simple planes. The
image is then cameramapped (or projected) back onto these planes. I
wanted to show the client the stuff in the viewport, and I was
horrified, that the texture

Hi Holger,
Sorry this arrived in email, I saw it then forgot about it - (very big red

Subject: Camera mapping
I believe the problem is because opengl texture mapping functions implement
linear interpolation of the UVs at the vertices, but a camera projection
does not interpolate linearly. In order to do a proper hardware-based
camera projection, you would need to interpolate the UVs as part of the

Not to start another flame war, but after months struggling with what
should be simple things, I have to ask:
Why is Mental Ray integration so haphazard in AD products in general and
Softimage in particular?
For example, MR now supports much-improved IBL, ptex, iRay, and per-object
Definetly and thats why I think everyone working on anything serious in
softimage has moved to 3rd party renderers. (Arnold, v-ray, 3Delight)
Kinda wish they would forget MR altogether and focus on more important
stuff.

The position mental images has taken for as long as I can remember (since 1994

Hi everyone,
First I'd just like to say it's good to be back in Softimage, with all it's

Yes, we've seen it before, and 99% of the time it was a glitch in the
pipe/tools or something unforeseen rather than Soft randomly deciding to
add one.
The last one created used to supersede all for us, I doubt that's changed.
Reloads with some model related events are the easiest thing to slip
Yip have had it, a few years back. I cant remember what generated them
exactly but I have a strong feeling it had something to do with changing

LOL - that sounds to me like one of those Naughty geoms that given you are
following a nice sensible Ref model loading setup anyway, should be placed in a

that suddenly starts saving as a 500BM model instead of 5MB
Certainly - we also found animation layers + ref models to be a big no-no - but

saying no to animation layers entirely with referenced models is a bit too
harsh. as long as you stay away from nested models or nested references its
pretty stable. and as long as you check your work by re opening the scene
you saved you can avoid the grief.

Actually we use nested models with layers and have had good results (with a
couple minor fixes here and there in QFEs though) in 2012, and decent but
with some pipeline patching in 2011.
Nested references are a recipe for disaster, but one deep models under the
reference model actually, more often
Maybe Steven - but our animators were on horrible deadlines at that time so
could not spare the time to re-open scenes, we had to take a decision to stick
with it and the relative unknown or drop them and work around it. I must say
