Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
Video description:
In this tutorial I demonstrate how to properly install and configure Visual Studio C++ 2010 Express to compile 64bit plugins for Autodesk Softimage.
Sorry that it's a little bit lengthy, but I didn't want to leave anything out.
Visual C++ 2010 Express:

The Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4:

I hope this will give everyone a simple and quick start into the world of Softimage plugins. As far as the actual programming goes, the Softimage documentation is actually excellent.
For ICENodes in particular I can recommend this link here as a starting-point: http://download.autodesk.com/global/doc ... =d28e18632
Have fun!

Thanks very much for this. I got it working on my laptop but couldnt remember how I did it.
Will watch this later and get my desktop all 64bit ready as well.
Thanks.

Any reason of using 2010 instead of 2008?

With 2008 it's a massive hassle that requires the use of scripts and the installation in specific default directories.origin wrote:Thanks,

2010 makes it a hell of a lot easier.

Re: Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
hey!
I have just installed MSV C++ 2010 instead of 2008 but I can't get it
compile my SI's project (32bit for now), I'm getting:
error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'xsi_application.h': No such file or directory
and
IntelliSense: cannot open source file "xsi_application.h"
for each of my SI include.
I'm lauching it with this environement:
------------------------------------------
@echo off
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\Application\bin\Setenv.bat"
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86
set PATH
set XSISDK_ROOT="C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\XSISDK"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\VCExpress.exe" /useenv
echo on
I had to uninstal many components one by one to remove MSVC++2008 may I have broke something?
Thanks

Just follow the tutorial and launch it from inside softimage.
Re: Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
I already tried and got the same errors
Re: Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
Huh okay. Unfortunately I have no idea why that would happen.
Re: Using VS 2010 Express to compile 64bit-plugins for Softimage
Crap, something is definitly broken, I can't get my previously compiled plugin working.....

Very excellent. Thank you so much. I'll be getting into C++ shortly and this will help a lot. Would there be a way for you to add the video to Vimeo as well so I can add it to the Softimage Tutorials group there?
