Thanks, I'm not sure if that will be good enough. I may use Maya for that, I was hoping there was something as good as Maya's Transfer Vertex Order (2017) that works perfect with triangles too.

Well, that’s it. Add a // before the Application.ActiveProject2 to make it inactive (comment) This will prevent XSI from creating and setting a Modtool database project. I’m not sure if by not doing it, it will affect some tools. I’ve never used modtool, but my guess is it should be fine without set...

Happy New Year !

This 2019 we will still be using Softimage and of course Maya (because we have to) and evaluating other possibilities such as Blender while trying to improve my ZBrush skills.

If you have the last used scene inside your default.xsipref, then you could try writing a script to load the last project using the ActiveProject command. The default.xsipref stores the last directory, not the project itself so if you have changed the structure, and you want to set your project thro...

I can’t really know without seeing your data. But : - Although Softimage envelope is fairly fast, it will always be slow with high poly meshes. Usually meshes from sculpt software are way too high poly to move them as they are. In case that high poly mesh is really needed as it is, usually the anima...

Check Selection only in the FBX exporter.

I'm not sure but I think I saw a tool to reorder the points idexes of an object (for shape animation purposes), but I can't find it. Do anyone know something about this ?

For that you in softimage you use the Knife tool. The only problem is that you need to select the faces you want to cut, otherwise it will cut the entire object. Maya’s multi cut tool is very useful and a huge improvement over the interactive cut tool, has some cool feature such as symmetry and cut,...

I haven't used Mod Tool in years so I can't tell anything about it. The full version Softimage opens the last used project and this project path is stored in a file called default.xsipref inside your Data\Preferences folder. You can open this file in a text editor and change it.

While I was writing my explanation, I realized I did something stupid. Since we are working with only 1 object, I shouldn't be converting the position to global before doing the calculations, that would make it slower (converting to global is not a very fast operation, and this exponentially increas...

Thanks, I hope you find it useful. Well, although I think I'm right, I'm not completely sure about my math here, because it's not really my expertise. A little break down of what I did. Since you can access the internal triangle data from the object and the triangles positions (vertices positions), ...

I gave it a try and this is what I've got. It calculates the center of mass of the selected polygon mesh, creates a null and put the coordinates on it. It calculates from the internal triangles so you don't need to triangulaze it, and it converts the values to global coordinates so you don't need to...

Softimage has a Select Creased Edges Filter, which is not exactly the same as select Hard Edges, but since by default all Softimage Hard Edges are creased, then it's practically the same. If you want to select by angle, there is this addon I wrote: https://www.dropbox.com/s/98vdmdoasmurez6/mHardEdge...

I think his SI Weight Editor is the real gem here.

SiVertexColorEditor.
I haven't used it yet though.

The easiest way would be some sort of cloud solution such as dropbox.
A little more complicated way would be through VPN.

to create a polygon face with the same size I would extract and keep that face, move the pivot with alt I think (I don’t use default keys) and move with snapping to the point of the first polygon with Ctrl. Then merge them with my tool mCombine
