i don't really see an issue here. yes we know the python implementation has quirks and we know this because of python on windows and com/dispatch stuff. so just use collection argument handler, softimage will do the work and whenever you want to modify it like a list, just wrap list() around it. it ...

One of these days... http://i.imgur.com/cLAIDJM.gif i have started something like this some time ago and i haven't had time to finish it. https://github.com/caron/NodeSearchMenu drop the file in a plugin directory, map this command to a key... launchNodeSearchMenu. i am using the tilde key just bel...

Yes I have. It slows down my workflow, doesn´t work with Vray shaders, and objects with more complex shader trees tend to vanish completely. this is interesting to me. everyone is envious of max and maya high quality viewports but they don't do this either. its up to chaosgroup to create realtime v...

just so we are clear... thea render doesn't support deformation motion blur, not that the plugin doesn't support it. ;)

I'd like to see a thread about what could be changed in Maya to make better for a Softimage user's point of view.. I mean if you have to bite the bullet some day and switch.. ok, i'll bite... i might be wrong but multi-editing attribute pages (err property pages?) isn't doable? they resort to the s...

What do you mean by that?

meaning it provides more than just ways to create a UI. it has math libraries, threading, networking, database, etc.

great to hear about the potential softimage integration (at whatever level/amount) it will help adoption of the CP.

How much control does the user have in terms of making new materials and shaders? If there is something powerful like krakatoa's magmaflow in the works, then we wants it, my precious...) sorry to pick your post apart but what does magmaflow have to do with a physically based rendering application t...

coming in late here... it safe to say making a central repository of plugins that isn't actively moderated, supported ($), and loved will always fall short... http://rray.de/xsi/ is all i need, and i will continue to make monetary contributions to keep in running. i will say to anyone attempting to ...

andy and company are doing their best to make sure this is given to autodesk/softimage.

that video looks slow and no different from the draw polygon tool with snapping on. i haven't seen zbrush's new one, but i remember the zsphere/join drawing retopo workflow they had years ago... also very slow and awful. bsurfaces and topogun are very slick and is what i imagine can be doable in the...

a retopo tool is totally doable with the new custom tool sdk. i was thinking on the lines of the bsurfaces...

@hirazi, can you program plugins with softimage using jscript or python? how confident are you with them? if you can't do this then you are adding a lot more complexity to your learning process. otherwise here are my comments... the softimage c++ api is quite similar to the scripting api, of course ...

I have a question, do you write those cmakelist.txt files by hand from scratch or you have some templates that you fill only with links to libs and cpps? Do these files work without any modifications on linux too? (i started to learn fedora...) i usually copy from my last one, or copy from other av...

here is the code... https://github.com/caron/SimpleBrush this basic brush looks like the built in weight paint brush, adjusting the radius with the r key works, normal alignment is still wrong. i am trying to mimic the built in weight paint brush, i havent figured out how they're doing the smooth in...
