Example: I want to have a couple of different pick curves outside of my character that the animators can use to pick a control item buried deep inside the character. I don't know exactly what such a feature would be called other that it is similar to a proxy parameter, but for an item. -B 2010-03-16T17:17:19+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/motor-problem/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/motor-problem/page-last/#When:10:39:59Z Someone can explan me why when I try to use .motor files that ship with Softimage 2010 and apply it to a standard biped rig or skeleton, they suddenly dissappear. my tags look ok. I notice too that .motor file in Softimage 2010 its diferent than previous versions and thats version the .motor file works ok. Is there some know bug about .motor file in Softimage 2010?

I only know the very basics of expressions and I've tried to use the Sine function like Sin(Fc*5)*5, for example, and it works but it lacks the random movement that the Wiggle expression has. I tried to add a random function but it just causes the animation to jump around wildly. Sin(Fc*RAND( 2 , 0 , 1 ))*2 Thanks -EW 2010-03-07T19:29:18+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/volumic-shadows-not-working-well/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/volumic-shadows-not-working-well/page-last/#When:23:32:33Z [img]http://filmpost.ee/maido/work/q/volumic_error.jpg[/img] Hi, I'm trying to render simple volumetric effect for light that comes from window into the room (as pic above). Just added volumic properties and it works fine until you turn on shadows, then it gets jagged and ugly and I can't get it right how much I tweak settings (. I'm using SI2010 sp1 64bit. It would be nice when somebody knows someting about how to fix or work around that problem.

I think it'd make rigging a bit easier. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQJ4IdaZXmE Apologies if this already exists in 2010, I use XSI 7.

I figured it was because the bones are still stored at the positions and didn't set them back to zero. And that seams to be the problem as seen in the animation editor (attached picture). So my question is how can I set these values to zero with keeping pose on the model. 2010-02-20T22:39:22+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/2-softimage-2010-animation-instancing-problems/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/2-softimage-2010-animation-instancing-problems/page-last/#When:14:47:47Z Hi, New to this forum, a few hundreds heads always better than one. Basically I'm looking for a solution for the following problem. When instancing an animated object, the children of the animated parent object do not animate I have used the "set Instance Geometry " compound and plugged it into "Execute on Emit1" of the Emit Compound , yet the children still do not animate, am I doing something wrong ??? I have attached an image of my node setup Many thanks, Izmo 2010-02-17T14:47:47+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/softimage-2010-animation-instancing-problems/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/softimage-2010-animation-instancing-problems/page-last/#When:11:55:54Z Hi, New to this forum, a few hundreds heads always better than one.

I remembered storing an action source then changing the storage to external (native binary). I chose a filename and then saved the scene. This created an .eani external file as expected, let's call it "original.eani" Problem is if I changed the filename to load another external filename, for example "other.eani", it will still save and erase the first "original.eani" file. I don't know if this is the right place to report bugs... 2010-02-09T15:59:57+01:00
