Softimage Viewer
Softimage Viewer
Autodesk has a viewer for showcase projects. I write to inquire if there is a viewer for Softinage 2012 projects. As a beginner I do not have anything to view yet. Possibly, the showcase viewer can work wilth softimage projects. Guidance sought/

Re: Softimage Viewer
Judging from the documentation of the Showcase 2012 software itself, if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that the Showcase Viewer doesn't work with Softimage files.
What precisely are you looking for? An object viewer?

Re: Softimage Viewer
you can export your scene or object or whatever you want into a fbx file and view with this free tool

it imports also other format, like obj, to be honest i've tested it with fbx and its pretty awesome, i didnt have success with objs tho, sometimes it loses the shading and they are invisible, i guess its a bug due to the early stage of the software.
Autodesk also has a great Autodesk FBX converter with a Viewer integrated. Its free too.

Re: Softimage Viewer
Much thanks for the timely reply. Perhaps I can ask you about basic modeling. Autodesk has emailed me to say that, although there are SoftImage youtube tutorials, the area of modeling, especially for novices is not well covered. I am seeking guidance on tools and controls and controls in an effort to create a typical metropolitan subway. Hoping I can get a step guide to
- Creating the required wireframing...
- Animating the train to move from one station to another
- Searching for existing wireframes by objet type
- Creating an underground subway station
The userguide is necessary but not sufficient to cultivate this skill set. Much appreciation
