The only reason it was such a big hit elsewhere was because of the fact(other than the wonderful screenplay,I must admit) that these goras want to see us in the deprived state,forever.

Comment on Python Modules like XSI Plugins by Antonieo

Great post ! Really helpful !

But how could I make it work with other plugins ?
I made some plugins importing some modules I built in workgroup folder , every time I start XSI , they failed to find modules , and after I open their scripts , re-save without changing the code , it works again .
That means those plugins are loaded before this event . So python module paths haven’t been added when loading those plugins .

Is there anyway to do the trick ? I mean make it work without force other team members execute any scripts or doing anything else , but only connect to the workgroup :
maybe some way to changge plugin oreder , or change the scripts of plugins to make them being loaded after certain events .

ok so this is definitely a Softimage Bad Ass comments section. I stopped listening at ‘Python if int blah’ unfortunately, but maybe give me another 4 years? ran Ciaran’s python prt2icecache.py from a Naiad export today so am allowed to comment? :)

Hi,

I have a question:

why choose inc = pi*(3-sqrt(5))? What’s the relation between this value and the golden ratio?

Thanks,
Chao

Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I needed (and it’s written in Python :)

Hi,

How do you get the XSI code to work? My python doesn’t recognize the “application” object.

Comment on Mapping Lights by Guillaume Chabot

or… plug `mixer gradient` in the color of the spot light and plug a `texture Space generator` in the`Coord of gradient.In texture space generator, in project method: UV.. and for Space Transformation: Light… And for the gradient in input option.. Input type: vector. Now play with Active range Min/Max.
Thanks
