It either couldn't load the plugin,
or couldn't load the ICE compound.

in the later case, open the ICE tree
open the Preset Manager and update the list
by pressing the recycle button

Sorry nothing more and nothing in the scriptlog file ...

ok I have a look to this

or the previous line?

error messages usually look like this:
' ERROR : 21000 - Unspecified failure - [line 90 in C:\users\Administrator\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Addons\PolyMeshDuplicator\Application\Plugins\ApplyPolyMeshDuplicator.vbs]
' ERROR : 21000-CUST-ApplyPolyMeshDuplicator - Unspecified failure

I don't have this sort of error message ...

After some unspecified failure the compound loaded :



Phil

EDIT : be back after lunch ...

it works then

In fact :

1) Install the xxx.xsiaddon file
2) delete the x32 or x64 dll depends of the software u use
3) now enjoy

Thanks a lot

Phil

EDIT : Don't know why I had pb with the unspecified failure

The whole point of me asking you so many questions
was to see if it works WITHOUT having to delete anything

well, does it? (even if it gives you error messages)

Like I told you before :

I need to remove PolyMeshDuplicator.x86.dll
from : c:\Users\xxxxxxx\Softimage\XSI_7.01\Addons\PolyMeshDuplicator\Application\Plugins\

If not it doesn't work at all

Phil

So be it then.
In my XSI 7.01 x64 winXP, it works without problems though.

I'm waiting for the 2010 upgrade.

I will post here if I had the same pb. Maybe windows 7 x64 produce some pb with XSI 7.01 x64 and x32.dll

Still Playing with PolyMeshDuplicator

I don't understand why a big object is created from the original object who is duplicated ?

How to remove it ?

Here the big sphere is attached to the sphere_copies



Phil

Each duplicate uses the SRT/Transform matrix of the particle whose ID matches its CopyID
If no particle exists, the SRT of the duplicate is random/undefined (you will usually get garbage).

So always make sure there are as many particles as duplicates
When the # of (born) Particles >= # of Duplicates, the large object will disappear

You can always use Particle instancing instead of PolyMeshDuplicator ;)

Ok thanks for your light speed answer

hey nassosy,
do you think it would be possible to take a group of instancing meshes instead of a single mesh that gets duplicated? This would be really awesome to get an exact copy of the pointcloud as geometry!
