Re: Setting up Maya

Spawn on trigger once?

I'm sure it is going to be obvious... With Spawn on Trigger (or ClonePoint) I'd like the particles that are inside a volume to be cloned (and Not deleted) once. I can have the particles (inside volume) to be cloned once and then deleted, I can have the particles (inside a volume) duplicated eve

Re: Spawn on trigger once?

You could give your particles a custom attribute (e.g. hasClone) set to False by default, and True when they get cloned. Only clone when hasClone==False. > olivier jeannel hat am 19. Mai 2014 um 11:23 > geschrieben: > > > I'm sure it is going to be obvious... > > With Spawn on Trigger (or ClonePo

Re: Spawn on trigger once?

You could use State. So if in volume and state 0, then clone. On clone change their state to 1. Something like that On 19 May 2014 10:23, olivier jeannel wrote: > I'm sure it is going to be obvious... > > With Spawn on Trigger (or ClonePoint) I'd like the particles that are > inside a volume to

The state worked great ! Couldn't get the "HasClone" to work though. Thank's a lot ! Le 19/05/2014 11:38, Chris Marshall a écrit : You could use State. So if in volume and state 0, then clone. On clone change their state to 1. Something like that On 19 May 2014 10:23, olivier jeannel

ICE Topology/Deform problem

Re: ICE Topology/Deform problem

Not sure if I'm getting the problem right, but how about making copies of the mesh and storing the required delta in every vertex first. Once the mesh is finished, move all vertices up/down by that delta value in a second step? Hi guys I'm having the following ICE topology issue which il

OT: Graphic card for optimous performance with Redshift

Hi, now that Redshift is officially out and running smoothly, I´d like to ask you guys what Graphic Cards for best GPU performance would be optimum for an I7 stream core? I´m taking a look at: EVGA EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN SuperClocked 6GB GDDR5 384bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Gr

Re: OT: Graphic card for optimous performance with Redshift

The Titans are fantastic, but I haven't seen one priced at $1000 in several weeks. I would also skip the Quadro line altogether, as those cards don't offer nearly as much bang for your buck (where Redshift is concerned!) as the upper tiers of the GTX line. If you can find a Titan at $1000, I w

Whats an efficient workflow for importing .IGS?

I haven't found a decent way of getting .IGS files into softimage without having to rebuild parts of the mesh. I have tried 3ds max and everything always imports flawlessly in that software, I guess this . I have tried exporting .FBX & .OBJ. I can never get into softimage without issues. -Ryan

Re: OT: Graphic card for optimous performance with Redshift

hey, the titan black is very fast, but considering the benchmarks (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html) the 780 isn't lame either, and the 6gb version is close to half the price of a titan. so if you want a bargain that's still fast, I would go for the 780 6gb. Christian On 1

We eventually had to get Polytrans to keep receiving engineering files from our clients. It seems to handle conversions well and takes a lot of formats. On Mon, May 19, 2014 at 2:31 PM, Ryan Maguire wrote: > I haven't found a decent way of getting .IGS files into softimage without > having to r

RE: Whats an efficient workflow for importing .IGS?

I think the IGES importer in Soft hasn't been updated for a long, long time. I wouldn't blame Soft alone because IGES itself gave me trouble all the time even when going through max,polytrans,MoI or Deep Exploration. Whenever possible I asked clients for step format or at least something other
