Scripting making geoapproximation local?

I have load of objects to which I need to make the geoapproximation local and set it at various values, so I am trying to script it. However if I do one object manually and try running this: MakeLocal "model*.polyblabla*.geomapprox", siDefaultPropagation - the geoapproximation appears to stay glo

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?

You can add a brand new geo approximation property and it will replace the shared one making it unique. I don't have softimage on front of me, but it should be something like: for each in Application.Selection: each.AddProperty('geomapprox') Cheers

Re: Scripting making geoapproximation local?

if you select the objects, and press + and then - to increase and then decrease the subd level, it will make the geoApprox propery local on each of the selected objects. not sure if that works in the setup you have, but could be worth a shot. On Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 10:38 PM, Cesar Saez wrote: >

Hi Folks, I'm sure I've done this before but... I just want to find the closest location of a surface and transfer the UV values to my geometry's UV set. It works fine with Weightmaps. ie. Get Grid -> Get_Closest_Location_On_Geo -> location -> Get Weights -> Set Data Self.Weights but I get a

Well in the end Adobe probably doesn't care too much about Modo. But Mari and Nuke fore sure is interesting for them. I guess if Autodesk could, they would buy them just because of Nuke ;) 2015-04-27 15:06 GMT+02:00 Toonafish : > Can't take it too seriously when I read this snippet about Modo: >

RE: volumetric particle render - with motion blur

Hi Motion Blur on particles movement does not work, Motion vector for Camera movement should/could work. You have three choices: 1) Open the volume shader and put and save the motion vectors into a framebuffer. Then blur them in comp. 2) Let the shader blur the particle texture. You can ena

I believe the solution to this is Deform>create>Subframe Deformation applied to the point cloud. This will give accurate and adjustable motion blur to your pointcloud. On Fri, Apr 24, 2015 at 6:35 AM, Andi Farhall wrote: > Hi chaps, > > it's been ages (years) since I've used mental ray, but I cl

AD owned and produced a lot of stuff over the years. The various acquisitions you are thinking of in the M&E group are a drop in the ocean that is their arch, viz, CAM/CAE budgets.
