You could use that ICE attribute in a script Object.ActivePrimitive.GetICEAttributeFromName( 'PolygonArea' ) Ex (for polygon faces and polygonmesh objects): #Python from win32com.client import constants as c xsi = Application sel = xsi.Selection total = 0 for obj in sel: # For faces if obj.Type == '...

Are you using the default camera with aim and root? the default root has translation values by default which would mess up the cam translation in most engines.
Try a plotted single camera with frozen coordinates

It’s just a matter of preferences. I prefer to have my controllers on sight and know right away what they are doing. Global keys will make me dig a little more and for me it gets messy and confusing changing the space and using the animation editor more than needed. You may have some problems plotti...

You could add a filter just to be sure your selection is a camera:

//JScript
x=SIFilter(Selection, 'camera'); if(x)SetViewCamera(x(0))

This will change the view only if your selection is a camera.

Something like this ? # Python xsi = Application digits = 3 objs = xsi.ActiveSceneRoot.FindChildren('','polymsh') for obj in objs: frame = int(obj.FullName[digits*-1:]) xsi.SaveKey(obj.FullName +'.visibility.viewvis', frame, 1) xsi.SaveKey(obj.FullName +'.visibility.viewvis', frame +1, 0) xsi.SaveKe...

I've never used Nuke, and never used Blender long enough to learn shortcuts so I'm not really sure what are you talking about.

But there was a tab menu but I've never actually used it: XSI Tab Menu

Modo was developed by a considerable small, but very experimented team that was the core team of Lightwave. I don't know how many they were, but since they had 7 key members of the Lightwave core development team and were like 30 when they merged with The Foundry, I guess the average could be like 1...

I wrote a few years ago a tool to fix all my texture paths with a local path if the texture has been found inside the Project Folder. It searches first for the texture file and it's parent folder name, just in case you are using 2 files with the same name but with a different folder inside your proj...

Oh, now I see what you were trying to do. There is an addon called keyvis Curve Tools, it's been written in JScript and it's nGon plugin does exactly that: http://www.keyvis.at/cg-tools/tools-for-softimage/curve-tools/ And although converting degrees to radians is something very simple, you have a c...

It seems like you only pasted one half of the code.

JScript is good enough, I’ve been writing Js for years, but it gets messy with large codes. Not as bad as VBS but not as flexible as Python. Now about renaming. In my example I’m creating a curve with CreateCurve, but it should work with SICreateCurve too. crv = CreateCurve( 1, 0, positions, false)(...

I kinda understand what are you trying to do, I just don't understand how are you going to treat your parameters to make it an all around tool. I mean if you want square based figures, you can add tons of parameters to change the square parts like corners, etc. But how are you going to use these sam...

I'm not sure I understand what are tou trying to do, but you could try CreateCurve instead. It allows you to put in coordinates so I think it should probably be easier for some cases. I think it would be kinda troublesome to handle these position arrays with JScript. Python would be a better alterna...

That's the bug, that doesn't work, it only gives you the value of the first one. Try it

It does work with parameters or nestedobjects, but not directly

I think I've always used NestedObjects or Parameters : myPhong.ambient.parameters('red') So I've never run into this problem but I've just tried what you said and effectively, it seems that the variable gets overwritten to whatever you got first. If I do : - Diffuse First LogMessage (myPhong.diffuse...

I know we are the minority (we and a few other companies that still use Softimage to some degree) but the fact that you can’t use Softimage once you change to subscription forces us to stay in maintenance and eventually stop renewing it. And yes it is a monopoly because the alternatives aren’t reall...
