Fabric at Siggraph details

Hi everyone - Siggraph is approaching at a scary speed, so we'd better start trying to make sure people come and see us. We've got an entire day of user group sessions on Tuesday 12th August - and lots of cool stuff to show (as well as some pretty awesome announcements that you guys will love). ht

RE: Making custom events scene-specific?

What specifically must your scene-specific script do? Generally speaking, you should write your events to be very generic. The event will always fire, but will only do meaningful work if certain data or criteria is met in the scene. The advantage to this method over the scriptNode technique i

Sorry, I meant scalable as increasing your seats and artists in the process if needed. The first one will become impossible as soon as SI disappear from the ultimate suites, and the second one quite difficult. Martin Sent from my iPhone > On 2014/07/29, at 21:34, Sebastien Sterling > wrote: >

So after testing various options I can say that my Fuzz setup always flickers inside view-port too, so nothing to do with rendering stuff. I've seen tests on vimeo with fuzz animation(https://vimeo.com/91257776). Did anyone had luck setting it up for animation without any flicker here? Thanks. Iva

Making custom events scene-specific?

Hi all! Lately I've been trying to port a small little PyQT tool I made over to XSI, but I'm running into a little problem: I've been trying to figure out a way I could get a python script to fire off upon loading of a specific scene (Ideally this would be the equivalent of the scriptNode in

Exactly. The fact that you can't scale your project is the problem, and the cause why Softimage has only a few years to survive. I'll still use Softimage as long as it gives me better performance even if I have to deal with exports / imports to and from Maya, but let's face it, SI has been murdere

Re: Softimage is not EOL

Unfortunately for Education that EOL moniker is very much the kiss of death. While businesses can use SI until its pried from their cold dead fingers, we would never get any students for courses that teach EOL software. No Matter how superior it may be to the alternatives. In fact just to show
