Get Closest Filtered points
Disclaimer: This is from the resourcedump thread on si-community.com so »some restrictions may apply« (but usually don't)
A compound that gets ONLY the closest points in the current pointcloud/geometry that have a »true« boolean. It's much much faster than rifling through arrays. Hopefully someone will find this useful. It works by temporarily moving the filtered points up and away on the Y axis, then the remaining points look in the area where the filtered ones got moved to. Then filtered ones are moved back to their original location. The temporary moving of them is nothing to be concerned about because you wont see it and it doesnt affect simulation.

Re: Resourcedump
This is going much better than I hoped! Thanks guys for that. keep on dumping! (I mean fighting of course )

Re: Resourcedump
From another thread, this here exports/converts a selection of objects to MDD PointOven format which can be streamed from disk. (Objects must all have the same topology)

This is my SI to AfterEffects Exporter. I use it once every two years and then it does the job. No guarantees though...
You just create a group containing the camera and some nulls. Select it and run the script.
A .jsx script is created that you can run inside AfterFX. It creates a new Comp with Camera and Nulls (you can choose to create lights instead, that you can use with OpticalFlares).
It probably does not work with optical center shift or other fancy stuff
cheers,
Thomas

Re: Resourcedump
Great idea for a thread. I can only apologise for the state this scene and ICE Tree are in. I've tried to clean it up as much as possible. There's some very agricultural ICE hacking in there. Possibly someone might find some use for it. I never had the time to explore it further. It's based on the paper: Meshless Deformations Using Shape matching here:
http://www.beosil.com/download/Meshless ... _SIG05.pdf
The scene can be downloaded here:

Re: Resourcedump
most excellant thread, heres a whirlpool!
here is scene (2013sp1) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0WD7fS ... lUcDQ/edit and some compounds attached below which should hopefully work in earlier versions of SI
they are commented from an original SeExpr expression kindly provided by Taikomatsu form here https://vimeo.com/57296151 and the whirlpool compound needs some deformation to the grid beforehand to see the effect. in the example video above I've used Amaan's AAOcean to deform the grid but in my example scene I quickly made some waves with turbulence node (attached) Ive doubled it up and changed the global scales to make the waves more interesting.
think the actual maths involved is called a Logarithmic Spiral http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logarithmic_spiral
cheers!

Concerning the scene file (after Google login): "You need permission to access this item."
Stay safe, sane & healthy!
Re: Resourcedump
good catch Hirazi - should be ok now

Re: Resourcedump
Neat whirlpool!
Nowhere near as cool as that, here's a taper deform which only works on the objects local y axis. I built it as an example for my site and ran out of time before I added in the transforms to make the axis arbitrary. But it's all nicely commented, so hopefully it will be helpful to someone, learning-wise.
Compound attached, full scene is on my site http://andy.moonbase.net

Re: Resourcedump
This is the result of my adaptation of the exporter of Softimage to LuxRender (LuXSI) to export scenes of Softimage to Mitsuba.
It even has more code of LuXSI that needs to be cleaned, but it is already functional.
Exist compiled versions for win32 and win64* and, it has been proved with SI2012 win32 and Mod Tool 7.5 win32.
https://bitbucket.org/povman/mitxsi/downloads
Visit the wiki page, for more information about the state of the exporter.
https://bitbucket.org/povman/mitxsi/wiki/Home
(1) The version x64, it does not include the dll's of shaders, see https://bitbucket.org/povman/mitxsi/src ... at=default

Get Closest Filtered points
Get Closest Filtered points
A compound that gets ONLY the closest points in the current pointcloud/geometry that have a 'true' boolean.
Its much much faster than rifling through arrays.
Hopefully someone will find this useful
It works by temporarily moving the filtered points up and away on the Y axis, then the remaining points look in the area where the filtered ones got moved to. Then filtered ones are moved back to their original location. The temporary moving of them is nothing to be concerned about because you wont see it and it doesnt affect simulation.

Re: Resourcedump
I liked mucking about with Tekano's very cool whirlpool deformer. For comparison/fun I made a similar deformer using the log spiral in the "display shapes" scene I made a while back. Here it is in case anyone is interested in two scenes which do the same thing, both based on log spirals, but with two different approaches to the ICE part (Tekano's is cleaner lol.)
Of (likely) more interest is that I've included a "ridged turbulence" compound in there for fun.

Re: Resourcedump
Update: I've added to the taper deformer example a few posts back to support any arbitrary axis etc... Makes a good basis for creating more complex deformers, as the internal deformation "formula" can easily be swapped out with different maths. The scene/compound is posted on my blog http://andy.moonbase.net Cheers - AM
Re: Resourcedump
On another thread there was a question about using ICE to add random movement to a spotlight interest. Here's a scene which should help, it animates a camera interest to have random but smooth motion.

Re: Resourcedump
Thanks for all these goodies Andy!
This is a script that spreads the envelope weights from 1 bone over several bones.. Select source bone, target bones in that order then run
File: *** DefoRemap.js ***
(not much tested and doesn't seem to work with only 2 bones)
