PyQtForSoftimage: typing in an 'editable' combobox seems to be passed on to Softimage shortcuts?

Hi list, I stumbled over this today: when you have an "editable" QComboBox and start typing, the events/letters seem to be passed on to Softimage. This results in keyboard shortcuts being performed in Softimage instead of text being written in the QComboBox... Not sure if this is the only widget w

RE: Tips on volumetric strand render

Holger, I recall seeing this one in your Volume Shaders package, but have no clue where to find the Particle Cache loader . I have BaVolume installed - should I install Volume Shader version 3.7.21? Morten Den 2. maj 2013 kl. 14:46 skrev Schoenberger : > Another Example (no sample scene). >

RE: Tips on volumetric strand render

I actually started by revising the TrailSpiral scene. The trail glass sort of does what I need, but I couldn't figure out how to move a particle along a path trailing the strand behind it in a controllable manner, plus I still don't get the additive render look like with lightpainting - see: https:

Re: Tips on volumetric strand render

If your trail is semi-transparent then it would naturally be additive over itself. The bends in the trail could be a harder nut to crack, could maybe do something related to the density of points along a curve? On 2 May 2013 13:46, Schoenberger wrote: > ** > Another Example (no sample scene). >

Volume shader and StrandOrientation

While we're here talking about strands in conjunction with the volume shader, are there any special caveats regarding StrandOrientation that we should be aware of? I have a scene at the moment where I get strange streaks for each strand segment whereas when I use a compound to replace each strand

Re: Tips on volumetric strand render

I would subdivide the strands pretty highly and then from every of those strand positions shoot a ray towards the camera that stops n number of times along the way to check for other strand positions close to it and if it finds any increases the brightness of the color at the originating strand pos

RE: Tips on volumetric strand render

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure how you would do that Chris - if I comp a trail onto itself with screen or additive the whole trail will get brighter - the thing I am looking for is for the trail to render additive out of the 3D render, so where a trail covers itself it will get bright
