There was, perhaps still is, a pixar patent notices in Softimage
related to mental ray anti aliasing.

Didn't the unisys(sp?) one expire literally a decade ago, and all others 7

I stand corrected, had been told otherwise time ago though.
I'm curious then, what was the Pixar licensing/copyright notice for then?

Softimage didn't license from pixar and the tessellation and creasing
implementation are not the same.
On the maya side, it's been co-developed and licensed from pixar and
fully compatible.

Pixar's SDS "technology" has been licensed from everybody and their dog for
years, actually.
Thanks to some patents granted on creasing it was either doing that, or
risking litigation, or offsetting whole sets of features from the way they
would have looked in PRMan.
In theory only the RR semi-sha
That definitely got added after v7 though.

Adrian, the frozen pointcloud is the culprit. I had issues cloning and
rendering them.
repro:
1) create an empty pointcloud and load a cache on it
3) freeze the pointcloud
4) reload a cache on the pointcloud
5) create a new empty pointcloud
6) clone from the first pointcloud to the second (it does
The doc does say that what you get won't be correct:
Getting Data on Scene Groups
When getting per-component data, such as PointPosition, the results are
correct only when all objects in the group have the same number of
components.

I agree it should have been documented, and it's partly my fault that it isn't.
I simply wasn't aware of the issue (there was no item called "truncate array
data for groups" in our database) and never stumbled across it until later.
I don't work on the Softimage docs anymore, but you should log
Well, that might not be possible for all of us, as Autodesk might not
need that much staff ;)
AND there might be the minor problem that not all of us speak c++ .
But seriously, I think this kind of info should be documented in the
specific area of the help.

Just ask Autodesk to work in the Softimage team, this way you will be able
to learn ICE nodes from the source code ;).

Thanks for the 2d array hint anyway, that explains some problems I had

Where do you pull this sort of info?
can't find it in the manual even specifically looking for it!

That make sense as arrays data is not accessed from the Group Geometry node
in this case. Thanks for the precision Grahame :).

Here's an example of using a Fourier transform to remove moiré patterns:
http://www.reindeergraphics.com/tutorial/part04.html
You can think of the Fourier transform as just a different way of looking at
your data that makes some operations easier. It's similar to, e.g., using polar
coordinates
i think it didn't work because of the way the clouds were created... they

I had the same issue with 2014. They said it was a glitch in their system.
I use VCA Fusion here in NYC. I renewed once online and wont do so again.

Hi Gene,
Have you tried using a WKG file that references environment variables instead?
This is something I was investigating a while ago, and from the tests that I
did, it seemed to work okay.
I think you should be able to do something like this inside the WKG file:

It can happen that XSI crashes if you switch a workgroup.
It unloads the old plugins and loads the new ones. And while that happens, XSI
could crash.
I do not have any list of plugin that cause this, but it happens from time to
time.
