How to pass value from application to custom ICE Node?

[mjd3d]

I have C# application and I want to pass value from it to a custom Ice Node in reel time

anyone can help me to do this?

I'm not an expert on this kind of interaction, but my intuition tells me that it would be easy to just write the information to an xml (or other) file and read it from the icenode.
There might be a better way of doing this, but that would definitely work.

Also more of a workaround (I guess), but you can always set the value äs it appears in the ICE Tree...
This is Pythonesk, but it's just to illustrate:

Code: Select all

Application.SetValue("cube.polymsh.ICETree.3DVectorNode.value_y", 2, "")

;)

Could you elaborate on that? I'm not really sure how an application could set a value in Softimage.

Oops, I read "application" as meaning "plugin" not "external application", in which case I don't think its possible... ;)
