Hi Raff
Our university course is in South Africa. Streaming from anywhere except
Digital Tutors (which is stil not great but manageable) is a disaster. We would
really like the option to be able to buy the course and setup someway of
allowing our students to stream it locally (as I wouldnt
I suggest anybody who has issues with the current system, but is genuinely
interested in their products (not just mine, there are some very solid
things out on CGS and more coming) gets in touch with them and sees what
they can do.
TODs are a fresh thing, there's still plasticity to the offer,
I agree with your sentiments Matt, i feel the priority should be placed
solidly on making the code more accessible to 3rd party dev's, at the end
of the day it helps the package live, and Autodesk seem to have adopted a
trend of buying up 3rd party plugins anyway, looking at CAT for max, NEX

My point exactly, Sebastien.
About that SDK cluster update thing in custom topo operators:
I assume it's basically about tracking array indices carefully caused by
the topology changes and shifting cluster indices accordingly.
Array index magic, so to speak, with just basic math involved. A
Hey Angus,
What Wits course teach's 3D, and 3D in Softimage in SA, Have to say its

Hi Simon
We currently have a MA 3D Animation course. 10 years ago when we started we
also used Maya, but because of a lot of technical issues I eventually convinced
them to switch to SI. It was a great decision as the students found it so much
more intuitive and the quality of the student work
As far as I see, Softimage tools are sometimes design by programmers, for
programmers. Like the UV packing spacing parameter. It has no use at all. It
should be defined as it is in UVLayout, pixels, or similar, it must be
understandable, and USABLE in production. Me as a game artist is

Could not agree more on all you said Matt.
To add my voice,
always improving the SDK is the most important feature for two reasons:
- There are much more developers with the ability to create new Softimage
plugins outside of Autodesk.
- You must be connected to production world to create the

Hey everybody,
I've been having a problem lately that I'm unable to save my scene as if I
opened a shared copy. It says
[scene] cannot be saved because it has been loaded as a shared copy.The
main user is and there is no user listed.
So I know what this window is, and I am suspecting the problem
Its a bit intermittent too btw, it doesn't turn it into a shared copy

getting resources from the public is ensuring nothing malicious is attached
and if there is, ban that user on repeat offenses. Building and maintaining

A wonderful tool for designing particle effects is actually not Softimage.
Particle Illusion http://www.wondertouch.com/index_2.asp is great for
designing a look very quickly. It is inexpensive.
The particles are not 3D, however. So if you need 3D integration you
will need to learn particles in

I have to ask, if you want to almost unconditionally halve the particles,
what prevents you from doing it at generation time instead of using
resources unnecessarily to generate double the number and then using
resources again to cull them?

Sometimes when the opportunity presents itself (such as a weekend available to
cache on a local machine) I like to save out the maximum density I can in a
given timeframe simply because its easier to remove data than to not have it at

I'm aware of plenty cases where one might need to, especially post-facto
stuff where you just can't go back upstream (caches, things produced as
manually operated chains for hacks, LODding something, bracketing something
and so on).
In this case I was more proposing it's worth looking at that.
