Possible to have two separate ICE clouds intercollide?
I have two particle clouds with instanced objects. Is it possible to have the different clouds collide with each other as the particles cross through each other?

Re: What if 3 years from now Softimage lives on?
They still own everything softimage. Just because they don't sell licenses, doesn't mean you can use their software cracked. SI doesn't belong to you. Sorry I paid $3000 for my copy, plus 700 for render nodes and a couple years of subscription costs which were basically extortion. I beg to differ w...

Re: Autodesk retires Softimage
Or we would put money together (or fund raise) to buy softimage and free it from the software corporations greed. It would be OPEN SOURCE SOFTIMAGE FROM THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE!! :)) I really wish that . I really hope someone take it from the stupid AD. and I am ready if this plan happen . They w...

Re: Autodesk retires Softimage
I am sure the a$$holes who decided to retire softimage, never had to learn how to work with a software more complicated then Word or Outlook.. I am working daily and earning money with softimage since 1997, that's 17 years, and I still have a lot to learn. now AD threw away all those years of learn...

Re: Autodesk retires Softimage
If anything, Softimage is just a victim of Autodesk's perpetual juggling act.

Re: What if Softimage died?
I'm not going to delude myself. I need to move on eventually, and I've been using Modo quite a bit for the last 3 years, and I even want to go back to my roots -- Lightwave. But I can easily go another 4 years with Softimage. Not the worst idea really. Lighwave is getting pretty good once more. Whi...

Re: What if Softimage died?
For now and for the next few years Softimage will still be a great tool and most current users will still use it, I'm sure of that. I'm therefore not advocating dropping XSI like it's hot, after all, licenses money and time invested in training and tool development can't be simply thrown away, but ...

I'll be using it in 2018, and be better off than the guy using Maya 2018.

Some emTopolizer help with motion vectors?
I'm trying to access the motion data of a Toplozizer Polygonizer mesh for caching, so I can use the data in emReader to interpolate the index file. When trying to write the cache I get the error "Get topo from Object "polymsh" the vertex motions "pointUserMotions" could not ...

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
Thanks, you're right that was it. So what's the difference between particle size and particle scale?
I'm going to leave the compound here in case anyone wants it.

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
Well if you trigger test for velocity just after curl noise, curl noise won't happen since you move to another state just after particle starts to move. Ok, but this doesn't work either, because the null just makes a hole in the particle field. I can make the curlnoise work if there's no attempt at...

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
I can definitely make it work if the null starts inside the particle grid, but not if I move it into the grid.

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
Thanks for all the help Steve. I don't want to lead you down a black hole, but can you help me understand the next step? I want to scale the particles down to 0 from their "launch" time after the curlnoise state takes effect -- not from their birth. The problem is knowing which trigger to ...

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
Got it finally. I wasn't setting the state ID's properly, now I'm understanding how this thing works. It takes me a little longer than most people, but eventually I'll figure it out.

Re: Can I get a little help understanding ICE states?
Thanks...I got the particles under the null to change color, but I still can't get the curlnoise to activate. Would that get plugged into a port on the State node, or in the Simulaiton Root node---and which port would it be? Execute on trigger?
