Beta 2.2 RC1: SoftImage XSI plugin testing thread

[mlody47]

wooohooo thanks

and just seen the latest update. ITS FAAAST!!!! great job face

ofcourse im using it with amplitude's camera addon

maybe I could build "camera shake" rig to that ?? it would be nice to have it there

[Amplitude]

yeah why not! but shake is usually done in post (no pun intended ) or with animation layers at least to be non destructive to the main camera motion.

will you start a wip thread ? i'm curious to see what your're working on.

[mlody47]

Im not starting a wip, Im not gonna show my ideas this time, becouse i really want that 480

In secret I can tell that I think all my works sucked compared to this one

Ill pm you if you really want

tommorow i will have something o show.


I would like to get camera shake in 3d, becouse I can render "motion vectors" and get veeeeery accurate motion blur in post with those.

I always used shake in 3d becouse you dont have to worry about borders......... but yeah you got less control over it ( need to rerender )

Wouhouu, all right first feedback:
- smoothing errors I got with the original softimage exporter seem to be gone! Great.
- materials are exported nicely without duplicates. Excellent

but... deformers aren't taken into account anymore.
(curve deform located in the Shape Modeling Mode)
I think your exporter is looking only at the Modeling construction Mode instead of the whole construction stack ?

Yes, youre right, will fix it to other constuction mode.
I have ask it in a previous post.

I see, you have some parameters to choose when you want to export a subD...
From which construction mode should be the mesh exported? (modeling, shape, animation or secondary shape)
Which subD-level? (render or OGL)
Which subdivision rule? (Catmull-clark, doo-sabin, linear)

Any other issues with the exporter?

face

[Amplitude]

nope, it's working beautifully so far

-> mlody: you don't have to show the whole motion, just some stills or wire yes I'm curious considering the awesomeness of your previous works here.

[mlody47]

ok ill show something tommorow

octane crashed once with new addon but it was my fault

[face]

Can anyone test the export with instances?
I´m at work an can´t test it.

Can anyone test the export with instances?

Instance of model. right?
Look at below.
Instance is doesn't render.
Also. I can't export texture infomation. is it right?

I installed a latest Plugin as you can see in Attachment.

Thank you ~

Thanks, hope to fix it.

Textures should work, but only for diffuse, specular, transparancy and reflection.
Ambient textures doesn´t work.
