That'll do it, thanks.

Hey all,

Is there a convenient way to render a pass with a Frame Step value of 2, but with a sequential filename (001, 002, 003... vs 001, 003, 005). I'm hoping to be able to solve this in Softimage instead of having to use a bulk renaming utility afterwards.

Thanks.

I finally got around to taking this thing for a spin, and so far I'm enjoying how easy and fast it is to use. Thanks for creating/sharing this thing. I'm currently using it to make a Dwarf: http://cryrid.com/3d/images/dwarf/dwarf_progression1.jpg http://cryrid.com/3d/temp/dwarf_progression11d.jpg

Ah, I didn't realize you had to go all the way down to the .UVs, I was just trying the projections. Also I guess you have to drag the cacher onto the ICE tree and connect it to the compound in order to get the cloned shape to deform back?

Seems to work now though, thanks.

Could anyone help explain the steps to a layman like myself who has zero experience with ICE? I've tried following the steps here but I only end up with red nodes regardless of what I select in the explorer, and more confusion.

Sounds like it'll be free come August.

I'm not sure about the inclusion of the word highpoly as it could imply you want to achieve something different than what I'm thinking. But typically for bump-to-normals I've found to key to be in the roundcorners node as it lets you set the bump vector, which rendermap can then work with. It works ...

It's the same process really. Select an object, envelope it to the bones/deformers, weight it. Rinse and repeat for new objects.

Cryrid, here's an image of a section of the model with just the AO, just the cluster mapped in my original post. I want to send you some screen shots of viewport and settings, but my screenshot software is not working at the moment. (and yes i need software because Prt Scr has not worked since util...

May I request a picture of what it looks like rendered with the AO (where it looks correct), and possibly a screenshot of it in the viewport, shaded mode + visible normals? Inverting a test mesh creates identical results to what you're getting.

Here's a CGFX shader with 4 lights: http://cryrid.com/art/?p=50
