UVSwimCompounds/ICEModelingTools 0.3

[Hirazi Blue]

Guillaume Laforge updated the ICEModelingTools to version 0.3 to include "UVSwimCompounds"...

I made some tests this (very rainy) weekend to see if it is possible to handle the UV Swim on a freezed texture projection (...). It looks like it is not so complicate . In short, you just need to compute the barycentric coordinates of the moved point and then apply those same coordinates in UV space. So we can apply an ICETree before moving the points to store the "Static UV pose" and then apply an other ICETree after the moved points (in the animation region for example) to do the UV compensations to avoid the UV distortions.

Thanks for posting the link here Hirazi ;)

I made an update for the UV Swim to avoid disconnection of polynodes when you move a point.

I used this yesterday. it did not work across discontinuous uv's, but it was still a huge time saver. Thanks.

Crash SI when any change topology like extrude

Are you sure you download the latest version ?

Hi! Help with this pls.
1. Don`t work Apply swiming texture from menu
' ERROR : 2004-EDIT-SIApplyICEOp - Invalid pointer - [line 729 in C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\Application\DSScripts\operators.vbs]
Work with create Ice tree by hands.
2. Don`t work sometimes if create or delete new point or edges after Ice tree and when jumping points in texture editor.
