//// Workflow for PointClouds ///////////////////////////
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Use instance Shapes.
The export needs 4 parameters.
There are:
PointPosition, Shape, Size, Orientation.
Without any of them, it doesn´t work.

14.06.10:Bugfixed:
Animation should be rendered without a crash. Added a delay for every GPU.
Scaled Meshes now export correct without freezing.
New:
Pointcloud export for Softimage 7-2011.
Works with instance geometry. Instances SRT should be freezed. Size should be about 1SI unit.
SRT from the Pointcloud can be used. Meshes can be SubD´s with texture support.
Needed parameters are self.Shape, self,Size, self.PointPosition and self.Orientation.
05.06.10:Bugfixed:
The option "Skip Rendered Frames" now works before the mesh is exported.
Also if the image don´t exists, only then the mesh will exported.
04.06.10:New:
Checkbox to skip rendered frames under the framerange option.
GPU-Info button, so that´s easier to know, which device is which GPU.
03.06.10:Bugfixed:
Usernormals now work (use the discontinuity angle)
Smoothgroups should work too, with the limitation, the first mesh has ever the option smooth on in Octane.
Reimport the mesh in Softimage or other 3D applications work.
New:
Model instances implemented
- A scaled, rotated, translated instance Model with a deformend textured SubD ;)
01.06.10:Bugfixed:
Consturction mode for export changed from Modeling to SecondaryShape.
- SubD curve deform.
- SubD bone deform.
31.05.10:Bugfixed:
The version of the plugin is now shown correct.
Only meshes with the flag rendervis are exported.
The "Export OBJ/MTL Only" button checks now the Project path and name and export the mesh under that location.
New:
The buggy buildin obj-export is replaced with my own.
SubD´s are supported. The renderlevel is the subdivision level.
