I'm having some weird misunderstanding with [b]adding new keys[/b] in animation editor. Like we know 1 picture could say more than 1000 words so here it is, screencapture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laMsIZ8jZqU&feature=youtu.be If anyone know something about this automatic "take values for now good reason from next keyframe" I would be greatful, for example how to turn it off and make it work like it "should" :) Edit: Just few notes, I've been notecing.. - It seems to be the thing for only one specific scene, new scene and keyframes are working well, like excpected - I'm using ref models, when I make it local and export it and open it up in new scene, the issue dissapears. Tnx! 2012-01-23T17:03:38+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/animation-tools-demo/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/animation-tools-demo/page-last/#When:05:23:14Z Hello, I've uploaded a demo of some tools I have developed for a studio which is using XSI. It was something requested by their animation team. http://vimeo.com/33960852 Any suggestions and criticism welcome.

(I crossposted on XSIBase and CGTalk as well about this issue, because I am desperate for help. -_-") I am currently using Softimage 2012 SP1 for making game animations. However, I may have to work with Maya users and we're trying to figure out how we can collaborate on assets at the moment. However, when I test exporting animations via FBX, I noticed a number of issues that I am unable to resolve. Currently I made a simple test scene to explain my problems: http://i.imgur.com/YHdFy.jpgp Starting from the left: - FK animated bend, animation plotted (baked) - Animation baked into shape animation - simple translation animation - IK animated bend, animation plotted (baked) - IK animated bend - FK animated bend This is how it appears in Maya when importing as FBX: http://i.imgur.com/pwFuQ.jpg This is how it appears in Maya when importing as Collada DAE along with the error messages: http://i.imgur.com/yRF8D.jpg All animation is lost when importing as DAE. I used these settings when exporting as FBX from Softimage: http://i.imgur.com/08UI2.jpg And I used these settings when importing as FBX into Maya: http://i.imgur.com/9Pof6.jpg I am really confused as to why this is happening, if anyone could offer any advice at all I would very much appreciate it. My test scene for this can be downloaded at: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47456851/testAnimScene0.scn 2012-01-04T00:03:31+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/rigging-question/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/rigging-question/page-last/#When:01:10:39Z I am rigging a toon girl character and she has a skirt. I want to add some controllers in skirt, What would be the best solition ? make a bone rig for skirt ? Is there a some thing ''cluster control'' just like maya for control the slected points ? thank you... 2011-12-21T01:10:39+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/xsi-to-udk--arm-reversed-with-biped-rig/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/xsi-to-udk--arm-reversed-with-biped-rig/page-last/#When:10:47:46Z Hello everybody, I make a skeleton with the xsi rig biped guide. Look fine inside softimage, but not in UDK (3d level design software). [url=http://uppix.net/1/c/e/cab5707ab826caceda96f7a1ff76e.html][img]http://uppix.net/1/c/e/cab5707ab826caceda96f7a1ff76et.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://uppix.net/3/6/9/809250c50345f77a80d43e30733f5.html][img]http://uppix.net/3/6/9/809250c50345f77a80d43e30733f5t.jpg[/img][/url] Hmm, I try to freeze my bones, but when I do this the arm becomes as in the udk. I found the source of the problem : its because the "global transformation" of the arm is set to -1 for the scale x,y and z). It's possible to freeze the global transformation without move the bones ? I try to set a "neutral pose" for the bones, but that's change anything in the global trasnformation. In the 'Rig From Biped Guide' setup I know that I can disable the symmetrical option for the arm, but I will must remake the rig of my character. If I can I'd like to avoid. I'm pretty new in animation/rigging (I try the rigging since 1 month...) and with softimage, so sorry if it's a stupid question. Regards, Froyok.

Were to start ? And will it work in modtool ?:whistling: 2011-11-16T20:12:01+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/refrence-model--tail/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/refrence-model--tail/page-last/#When:09:36:44Z Hi I have a problem with Tail when I Convert it to Reference. when I load my reference it doesn't work. I mean it's loosing his automatic motion. Is that a bug? What can I do to solve this problem? please help me. thanks to all 2011-10-28T09:36:44+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/changing-color-of-individual-bone/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/changing-color-of-individual-bone/page-last/#When:05:14:04Z I'm brand new to XSI and I absolutely LOVE it. I have a little experience in the 3D package "Animation Master" and moving over to XSI is like driving a porsche compared to trying to drive a stubborn mule. Thank you for a beautiful program. Now my question. I've been working my way through Digital-Tutors. In the reverse foot control section the instructor changes the colors of the bone chains. When I try to do this my whole skeleton changes color, somehow I can't color individual bones. I must have grouped them all together in some way, unknowingly, but can't figure out how to undo this. Thank you to anyone who can put me on the right path.

If you are not doing motion capture but want to use the controls in Face Robot to animate the face is it now necessary to go to the EXPORT stage and build the EXPORT ANIMATION RIG[color=blue][/color] or can one just for example add a body rig by switching over to the Softimage interface and animate the Face Robot cluster controls in Softimage or as alternative if you have a rig that includes a Face Robot rig just animate the face rig in Face Robot? I noticed that once I solved the face in Face Robot I could switch to the Softimage interface and still move the actor controls and have the clusters respond, and if I wanted to create a biped rig etc. If I plan to only animate in Softimage what is the point in creating the EXPORT ANIMATION RIG? 2011-10-17T11:32:20+01:00 http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/simple-face-robot-question/page-last/ http://area.autodesk.com/forum/autodesk-softimage/animation/simple-face-robot-question/page-last/#When:11:26:02Z [size=3]Can [i]or[/i] does Face Robot sit on top of Envelopes ?[/size] 2011-10-17T11:26:02+01:00
