ICETree executes twice if components selected, does not reset data

If an ICE tree executes while any components of the mesh are selected, the entire stack will execute twice. (SI2013) When this happens, none of the data from the first pass is reset. This generally isn't much of a problem, unless parts of your tree only initializes a value after checking that it

Re: ICE Topo: Not able to disconnect 1 edge

Disconnecting a single edge works fine for me, unless you are trying to disconnect an edge that is surrounded by polygons on all sides. Disconnecting an edge basically means splitting the vertex on either side of the edge into two and drawing 2 edges between the 3 vertices. Unless the vertex you s

The greater problem is that in another 3 weeks you won't even be able to purchase Softimage. I can deal with losing support, but making Softimage abandonware that cannot even be purchased is the equivalent of shooting it in the knee. On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 6:59 PM, Eric Thivierge wrote: > You a

Gradient in PPG

Evening Would any of you happen to know how to add a gradient (siControlGradient) item to a PPG layout? With any of the standard data types it is pretty straight forward: parameter, label, UI type. A color item is given its own method, where instead of pointing to a single parameter you point to

Forcing evaluation of entire stack

I have a polygon mesh with a number of custom operators that maintain a custom mesh structure. An operator (Loader) at the very beginning of the modeling stack reads the custom mesh structure and makes a copy that we can work on without modifying the original. If later operators were modifying the

Re: oculus rift sdk

I suppose this should ideally be implemented as a custom device rather than an ICE node, but trying to get that mess working without having an Oculus to play with would likely prove to be a lesson in frustration. No idea if this works, but technically it should. http://www.mayulive.com/riftDevice

ICEAttribute from custom operator not updating

I have set up a custom operator that reads the point positions of a mesh and spits an array into a per-object ICEAttribute. For the most part this setup is working flawlessly, but it appears to be updating on a 1-frame delay. The custom operator is in the modeling stack, with the ICE tree that re

Strand Collision Framework

CICEAttributeDataArray and SDK backwards compatibility

I've spent the night figuring out how to set per-component ICE attributes from a custom operator, which most of the threads on the subject had me beginning to believe was impossible. I was working with SI2013 and compiling against the SDK that ships with 2014sp2, and as soon as I declared a CICEAt

Overriding commands

Is it at all possible to intercept and override commands made by the user? For instance, in my case I need to make a number of other changes every time the user extrudes something. At the moment I have implemented my own separate extrude command, but I imagine the user would often end up using the

Please excuse any errors; mailing lists are confusing. While wrapping up work on a system that includes 5 custom icenodes, I noticed that memory usage was increasing by about 1mb per second during playback. I eventually narrowed it down to a per-point-array node, the only single-threaded node in
