Its nasty but we used to just use a script that set the shape weight to
1.0, duplicated the mesh, and re-picked it as a shape and replaced the
names to match the old one and deleted the old shapekey
This was the old days, pre ICE.. now I would highly advise you use ICE and
just freeze the key once
maybe some more information as to why you need the original copy shape
operator? my next suggestion would be to make your own copy shape operator
that mimics the one in softimage. prototype it in ICE or maybe scripted op
and then port to c++?

i have never tried it but you might be able to re apply the 'copy shape'

You can drive the shape key data using ICE.
Original mesh positions - Shape point positions = shape delta vectors.
Shape Delta Vectors -> shapekey.positions attribute.

Hi guys,
Hopefully this will be a quick question, and I'm just missing something
easy.
When we create shapeKeys, there's a preference that allows us to keep a
link between the source mesh and the shapeKey.
Is there a way to re-create that relational link after its been frozen out?

Hi Angus:
Our school uses Muster which actually just runs mayaBatch (or
render.exe, whichever you like) rendering from a pre-specified template
that we provide it (e.g. render -r mr ), and I've found it to
be a lot easier to work with than going through exporting to a .mi file
(which for my f
You're right, but I think these advantages of using standalone-MR are very low

change MI2 files to get access to MR features that are not exposed in the GUI

The standalone is much more efficient than when run from a 3D application.
This does translate to noticeable performance differences. Each 3D app exposes
a different subset of mental ray’s capabilities – there are some useful
features for job control that aren’t available from the GUI, for exa
Another thing that we are waiting for confirmation of is whether Softimage was
going to be available via the free software student portal for another year. (I
see the Maya 2015 version is but Softimage isnt)

Hi Angus,
I never touched the MR standalone route in depth, because of two things:
1. It needs extra standalone- licenses. And therefore will cost probably more
than a few RR licences (I don't know if there are educational versions for MR
standalone, however)
2. The export takes a dec

XSI has bugs related to querying the crease data via the SDK from a 3rd
Party renderer, which result in access violations and hard crashes in
certain scenarios.

Nice idea, thanks!
I ended up just parsing all inputports of the scene's expression nodes, but
your technique definitely will be useful to find outputs of any type.

I'm hoping that this is a simple thing that I'm being a bit blind to.
I need to throw a ball at a net.
So I set up a syflex net, and throw a rigid body sphere at it. But

A syflex ball and net doesn't work either. They're aware of each other but

Here is the explanation for the modified `Emit Branches` compound:
I moved the `set data` node to outside of `Add point` node on creation. This is
because whenever there is a `Add point` node, the custom attribute stored in
