Hi Octavian,
Would you share your RedShift scene ?

hey Guys, I'm new to this topic, I read a bit of this conversation, This
Redshift GPU renderer look really awesome!
I wanted to know if Redshift use the mantal ray's materials and lights or
did he have his own materials and lights set up, like Arnold?
And as a student, can I be an "alpha" tester?
Ahhh the renderers.

Does anyone know if this is possible, I know Soft doesn't support subframes,
but ICE does. When I cache out particles to Maya to drive a fluid sim I want
to get subframes for a smoother emission.
But I seem to only get hard frames, no inbetween sub samples.
Any techniques or workarounds greatly

I would think it's worth clarifying, because some people seems to be

Ah, I see the problem. You're storing the explicit strings/indices of the
subcomponents which are selected, modifying the mesh, then restoring selection
on the assumption the subcomponent indices haven't changed. You cannot make
that assumption. You have to view the problem in relative terms.
Even a "simple" service like Dropbox needs legal BS like that just so they
can legally produce a thumbnail of a picture in your folders in the web
view. They got in trouble a while back when someone saw their wording, but
they clarified it later. (Lagoa should probably clarify their stance also.)
interesting conversation.
Is the XSICollection not a linked list and could linked list operations be
used on the Collection?
What is Softimage based on: DCEL, Wing-edge or Half-Edge structure?

Right, but even the component collection index changes if you delete an
arbitrary edge from the mesh.

Steve,
The problem it turns out is not LAST. Both your and Matt's examples worked

The problem is that the explicit index for LAST physically changes if some
other component is removed from the topology.

When you're looking at a string like "grid.edge[LAST]" or "grid.pnt[*]"
that's CollectionItem.Value, and CollectionItem.Value is just the string
representation of the selection.
Your actual selection is in the ComponentCollection.

Any time you use CopyPaste() (or any other command for that matter), you're
going to trigger events which incur additional processing cost. CopyPaste()
usually invokes validation routines before Softimage returns control to the

I think the problem I have is more complicated than I realized.

If I delete an arbitrary edge, say edge[64]

It's not necessary to use an XSICollection. Just pull from the selection, or

We had a similar problem a while ago. Linux Mint setup. In our case it was

mudbox is fine, (well 2013 was laggy as fuck) it still isn't an excuse not

Hi Luc-Eric,
it would be a big step forward to have viewport support for
UVs outside the 0-1 range, e.g. multiple textures assigned
to the UVs.
Regardless if you use the Ptex or the Mudbox way of having
multiple textures covering seperate UV ranges, 0-1, 1-2, etc,

I like working in the current hq viewport... 16x aa and really nice per
