Beta 2.2 RC1: SoftImage XSI plugin testing thread

[PeterCGS]

It doesnt seem to export SRT animation when exporting to V1.15.

Thats wired, there is nothing in the plugin which affected the geometry export on different Octane versions.

Hum... My scene works with 1.13, 1.14 etc. but not 1.15. I will try the new 1.16 tomorrow. I'll send you the scene otherwise for you to test Face!

[face]

Ok, that would be a good idea...

When is this plugin coming out? I thought you guys would beat Random Control with an XSI plugin, because they've been saying an Arion plugin will be "ready soon" for about 4 years. This is turning into the same situation. Please give us an idea when this thing will be done....

We are currently in a closed alpha test.
When this alpha is good enough, we will switch to a open beta test.

Ok, now I see what doesnt work in V1.16 and V1.17.. Its when choosing a "Mesh_to_render" and rendering animations.

I have a scene, and a object called ground.obj, and some particles (.csv files etc). aand I pipe them to a geometry group called assembly. Now I choose assembly as the Mesh_to_render and render a animation, but it only reads the ground.obj not the ground_anim.obj as it does when having the Mesh_to_render in default mode.

Ok, since 1.15 or 1.16 there is a new parameter called -R which relink a meshnode with a mesh.
I have used the -r parameter which relinks the mesh to render with a mesh.

In your case, you have the mesh to render changed to the assembly group.
With the old -r parameter, i also try to link the assembly group to the ground_anim.obj.
This can´t work.

I have now changed the -r parameter with the -R parameter for render animations.
A scene which has a group named "assembly group" as mesh to render and a ground.obj node which is relinked with the -R parameter to the ground_anim.obj is working here.

Hi Face, I've tried what you said but my rendermap only renders out for one frame and not the frame sequence, what am i doing wrong ?

Thanks really appreciate your help
