Hey Chris, was that script of any use? Just curious! :)
It's quite slow, as I'm sure you've noticed as you said it was a large file!
Never could find a way to speed it up. I just put it down to Python being
slow in the end... :/

Hi,
Is it possible to change default settings of the rendering ppg,
architectural shader settings, geo approx, lights etc?
There are so many things that I constantly edit because the default
settings isn't really up to date. I've made a few script buttons for it,
but I'd rather just have
Hey Dan, i gave it a swing, but regardless of my .xyz file formatting, i
always get the error message; Error - no points found or not a valid XYZ

have you got an xyz file that works for you, that you caould strip to just a
couple of lines so i can see the format?

Hi Adrian.
I used the data that Chris pasted into his mail to test with and that had
no spaces...
I use huge regular expression to parse the file for valid point data lines
and it doesn't expect spaces. I'll tweak it and send it again if you
like...

Hi all!
My task is an animation of a bottle that fills with oil.
Currently, with a “resolution per unit” of 0.3, the bottle fills up in about 40
seconds, which wouldn’t be dynamic enough in a video presentation
What parameter should I increase to get the bottle to fill in 10 seconds max?
You could use events eg OnNewScene.
Or create your own presets?
I'd avoid editing the factory SPDLs and presets (I think you can
probably find a number of posts from Luc-Eric about defaults and spdls
and the factory location)
For shaders, you can use events to override SPDL defaults with a
Increase the speed at wich the liquid is emited, as Lagoa will try to fill

Yeah, it's actually quite amazing how slow it is!

i found another way to import, renamed the .xyz
I should add that it was never intended to work with that many points, it's
probably slow to even open the PPG right? I wrote it to get the number of
points first to display in the PPG...

Thanks, sounds good! A default scene takes care of everything except
default shader definitions.
Can't get it to work though, I'm using the example in that article to try
and change the architectural shader, but using the examples and looking
through the SDK I can't figure out how to actually set
Or just use the preset manager :)

Honestly didn't know that existed, but I'd rather have it as a plugin on

I had never heard of them before.
If you look at the new features of v6, they now support animation and editing
them. Of course this is far from what Softimage users expect from an animation
package but it is interesting nonetheless.
I guess their biggest competitor around the corner will be
I think I have seen a presentation of their rendering tech at the Softimage
Ubertage 2010.
What was cool was that they could raytrace NURBS directly without having to
tesselate first. Super smooth
and artefact-free reflections all the time. It was quite fast too.
Their presentation was a bit in
Great! I was a bit confused by the example as it did it all on one line of
code. This wouldn't work:
oDef.InputParamDefs.GetParamDefByName( reflectivity ).DefaultValue = 0.3
I'll try yours, thanks!

loosely, as parasite / shark would be a much better description). He

In fact, we already have a spot light creation tool example that ships with

That's cool, Julian, thanks!
I wonder why it only works on mental ray lights... I'm using VRay.
After all, it's not possible to create custom lights with the SDK.
VRay/Arnold lights are practically regular lights with an additional
shader attached. Should be working too, no?

Hi-
Just modeling in another package (modo) and came into a bit of an argument
over a tool that was incorrectly merging points on a mesh when sliced.
I was told the issue was that I had points, on the same layer/mesh that
were in the same place (was trying to make a forced SDS hard edge).
Now,
Ok, tested it. What you do is create a new light every time the tool is
called.
May I suggest something? It would be better if you allowed selected
lights to be moved instead of creating new ones, keeping the distance
between the light and the surface.
This way, you could also ignore the light
Of course they can. Whenever you select a face on a geometry and hit ctrl+d
you have at least 3 points that each have an identical twin. SI is totally
fine with it.

OK, well either way, I was getting some flack blown at me about co-points
and SDS modeling and how it's a horrible practice. I've been creating
forced hard edges in other packages (and Si) this way for some time on low
density models with no issues other then it being harder to select points

Just curious.
Did you keep the shift modifier key from the original tool as a way to adjust
the distance of the light from the surface? (Don't have a build I can use to
install the tool right now...)
