Shredder565. This is crazy. I haven't visited this forum in YEARS and I see you are still at it. You have more persistence than anyone I know. Great work!

I'm a licensed modo user (formally XSI). However, I'm really curious as to what he talked about. Anyone care to share some insights?

Just noticed this thread today as well. I also only view active topics.

I'm running a HD 5850 with: Driver Packaging Version 8.951-120308a-135594C-ATI Catalyst Version 12.3 Direct3D Version 7.14.10.0894 OpenGL Version 6.14.10.11566 I ran into a lot of problems when I installed the update to Catalyst Version 12.4, so I went back to 12.3. I have no issues with 12.3.s Actu...

But seriously, that video looked great (except for the very scripted dialog by the speakers). Although, every promo video looks good on top of the line hardware and post production. Nevertheless, that smoke and water was killer.

Hmm. That's pretty interesting. I don't have any experience with the tool, but I'll see if I can work something out.

Been a bit busy lately with my 10 mo old son and graduate school (and work). Hopefully I will be able to work on it this weekend.

I dont see any problem with Autodesk dropping vista after all Microsoft dropped supporting it themselves last year didnt they? Microsoft typically supports their products for several years after it has been discontinued. For example, Visual Basic 6 and Windows XP were supported long after they were...

Slightly updated the compound with a few comments and version number (1.1). I believe the next step should be to create a custom PPG for the symmetry axis. Any thoughts?

Great contributions all! Glad to see some movement from the community.

I have created a proof of concept of sorts for a quick symmetry compound. There are still quite a few things to work out as it is simple at this point. However, I think it's a good start. If there is a better performance / logical way of doing this, please post your thoughts and I (or others) can ed...

I have to use Vista on a laptop at work and it drives me absolutely crazy. I have had zero issues with Softimage on my Win7 home machine.

Hi Inisheer, Extended primitives: As part of the ICE Topology tutorial that I am currently working on, I have already made various primitives, so count me in on this one. Great, thanks for the input. I am currently working on Symmetry . I have run in to a few problems and will update this post with...

I've decided to branch the Community ICE Project modeling information out of the general project thread and into a more specific thread for those that wish to contribute. Below is the short list of suggestions provided by the community in that thread. As more ideas surface, we can update this post. ...

Will do. Sorry about that.

If you have compiled nodes, then you'd package everything as an addon. Like Lagoa, which has all compiled nodes and "regular" .xsicompound files packaged as an addon here: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2012.SAP\Addons\Lagoa For a community project, I'd assume you include the source....

Thought of a few more: 1. ICE "Script Node" that can contain code (ie. Python, vbscript, etc.) 2. Netview tabs 3. Tube primitive 4. Revised UI / Viewport (QT), but keep the layout style. 5. Revamp some of the deformers (see C4D). 6. Hair (maybe someone here is really good at it, but I can ...
