haha.. check this out: i just enabled motion blur for my render and now it works.. i have absolutely NO clue why.. but it works!

Let me explain my scene a bit.. My scene consists of a basketball being thrown in the basket. I have used momentum softbody for the dynamics on the net and attached the net to the ring of the basket which is a momentum rigid body with mass 0. My net consists of a cylinder open on the top and bottom ...

Hey folks,

I have this problem where my alpha texture applied to a softbody (already plotted using momentum) doesn't show in the final render. It all looks good in the region but when I want to render it, the alpha doesn't show. I am rendering using the .pic format.

Any suggestions would be awesome!

thanks a bunch man!

very nice knowing this.. man.. this could save me heaps of time!

heres what i want to do:

i have a soccer ball which consists of many leather patches.. each of the patches has its own texture. now i want to make myself a spherical texture of this object so i can use it on a lowpoly version of the ball (just a sphere)

how can i do this in softimage?

thanks for the input eric.. i went into the models local transform ppg and tweaked the rotation values in the pivot tab.. works like a charm!

thanks a bunch.. issue resolved!!

yeah, the axis are off by something like 15 degrees or so.. this is the case with every model i load into the scene.. even freshly generated ones.. so it must be a global issue..

hey folks.. a client gave me this model of a car from turbosquid and wants me to animate its wheels.. a really easy thing to do, i thought.. now heres the problem: when i take a wheel and animate its rotation y value, or whatever value, with 2 keys the wheel doesnt just turn on one axis but on all 3...

please please please intrgrade powerbooleans in softimage

3dsmax has it integrated since version 9 i think.. so autodesk seems to own it.. booleans are SO bad in softimage!

nope I reinstalled my windows and now it works!

but thank you! i couldnt nail the problem. so i thought before trying around and loosing another day id just go for a windows reinstall..

heres what my SoftimageLicense.log file says: 2944 2011/01/16 11:01:37 Reason=Fatal error 2944 2011/01/16 11:01:37 ComputerName=GLITCHMACHINE 2944 2011/01/16 11:01:37 OS=6.1.7600. 2944 2011/01/16 11:01:37 File=AdlmFlxActTS.cpp,Line=609 2944 2011/01/16 11:01:37 AdlmActError=8 [An item is not found] 2...

Hi. I have been trying to get Softimage 2011.5 64bit running on my Windows7 64bit system. Each time I am finished installing and want to launch Softimage for the first time to activate it the Application doesnt start and I get the following Error: Error: there is no interactive license available to ...

what would be very helpful is to know how you went about tweaking this setup to get the output shown on the video up there. i can't quite grasp how you got it to spread the way it does.. i'm currently workin on a little project where this setup could come in quite handy.. could you please explain so...
