Softimage Shader Presets

[bottleofram]

Thanks for your shaders, Max!

Why not work with my workgroup?

The easiest way to get this to work in a workgroup would be replacing all the "$XSI_USERHOME" strings in the toolbarfile with the ending ".xsitb" in a text editor by the string of the actual path to the workgroup you've installed it in...
;)

Just a note, Hirazi's suggestion is a reasonable one and it works but it will still get you a texture path error since those are defined in preset files. There aren't many of them that have a texture but it would still require some work to fix them all.

i manually added a line to the setenv:

set WG_Path=\\3d01-xp64\SOFTIMAGE\SI2011_WORKGROUP

with that i can simply use links to my workgroup like with the userhome variable...
(XSIUtils.Environment("WG_Path"))



Now i just replaced all XSI_Home inside Max Shaders.xsitb with WG_Path and everything works in a workgroup.

This is away to cool.
I'll try them today.

Does this only Work on 2012 ??

is there any chance you may have an old vers for 2010 ?

They look gorgeous! I like the rough metals the most.

But you should change the links to most of the textures, since only marble_red_diff and _refl are linked correctly. Is there a way I could change it myself?

No preset really works - using 2011SP1 - is this a compatibility problem?

Yes they were packed as 2012 sp1, so they wont work with 2011.

But they work really well on Softimage 2013SP1, so thank you Sir!
Maybe a little update? hehe.

well....

create a whole bunch of awesome materials, send them to MAX and maybe he'll implements them in the next update... ;)
