Xray selection toggle in 2015 not working...

In SI2013, when you activate Xray display mode, you can select objects behind, whitin and around objects. In SI2015, this is impossible, or disabled by default. You can see it, but can’t select it. Is there a fix to this? Was this a feature that was disabled in 2015? Any pointers, or even

Re: PyQt or PySide

gcc 4.8.2 can't possibly come soon enough. Even shoe horning 4.4 in for minimal auto vectorization and openMP support still feels like swimming through molasses compared to 4.7 and 4.8. So, no plan to move back to pyQt? Or is it being considered? On Thu, Jun 12, 2014 at 4:56 AM, Luc-Eric Rousseau

RE: Python: Limitations / Differences in xsibatch versus interactive

Not all your code is exposed – where is get_object() coming from? Is that your own wrapper? Might want to make a few tweaks to avoid commands and go strictly with the scripting object model. When using commands you run the risk of triggering events and other stuff that can interact with the G

Re: Python: Limitations / Differences in xsibatch versus interactive

Hey Matt, Some code, essentially all I'm pulling is data that's already residing in the PPG. What's failing is setting: bake.input_object.value = ob.FullName + ".SItoA.1000", but it logs back out just fine. However something is screwy as this information is not getting pulled to the shader at rend

RE: Python: Limitations / Differences in xsibatch versus interactive

Don’t do anything that interacts with a GUI. That’ll crash XSIBatch as XSIBatch is essentially XSI.exe without any GUI, or support for a GUI. How are you getting information from your custom properties? That might be a factor. Matt From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:s

Python: Limitations / Differences in xsibatch versus interactive

Hey Gang, We have a few custom properties and events which refuse to behave themselves in batch, are there any common gotchas / workflows / things to avoid when using XSIbatch. Infuriatingly, all the logging I've been doing seems to suggest things are running just fine, but then the script still

When using Houdini I've found Openvdb to be frankly phenomenal. Had never been exposed to this tech before. I know there is a softimage plugin, but never had to use it. In houdini Openvdb is a suite of nodes which are really well integrated. On 5 June 2014 22:35, Serch Mucino wrote: > That P
