I was looking for Bradley Gabes Select from weightmap plugin http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=13=1127 , and found it is seemingly only available on The Area which is sending me around in infinitely maddening circles trying to log in. Is that plugin available anywhere else

As noted in many past threads, Python is kind of shoe-horned into Softimage and doesn't have the same level of integration as VBScript or Jscript. The source of the problem is likely related to having to call Envelope.GetWeights2() instead of Envelope.Weights. It may produce the same end

That story repeat in a lot of places, but at least we know we have a good software in our hands. Show your employers a Softimage reel and tell them how easy is the Softimage route to create art, and if they want to go the Maya route well it will took more time and a lot of effort. It's simple.

Ah, thanks! I actually looked there first but was apparently not creative enough with my search :) Now regarding The Area - do they design it to be difficult to use on purpose MB Den 30. oktober 2015 kl. 10:31 skrev Rob Wuijster : > > You can find it at

Maybe use GetDeformerWeights and accumulate the weights for each deformer into something like a numpy array, do your work, and the set it back? On Fri, Oct 30, 2015 at 11:50 AM, Eric Thivierge wrote: > Hello all, > > Right off the bat, no I'm not going to use VBScript or

You'll consider C++ but not something simpler like JScript of VBScript? Seems rather odd logic. Anyway, how you access information is important. Calling Envelopes(0).GetWeights2().Array as a single statement will incur more overhead than doing this: var oEnvelope = Envelopes(0); var

Hello all, Right off the bat, no I'm not going to use VBScript or JScript. I'm running into an issue in Python that I'm pretty sure is just a simple case of literally out of memory that Python has available but I'm posting anyway to see if anyone has ideas. I have a mesh with ~350k points and

Steve, yes that was my thought to do that by iterating over each and building up the numpy array. Usually I can just dump the Weights.Array into numpy.array() but I can't even get to that point yet because of casting into a Python tuple or list or whatever. I'll give that a shot. Matt, I don't
