Softmonkey plugins

[Hirazi Blue]

Mike Malinowski (softmonkey.org) presents some new tools (5 at the time of writing) on his website:

XSIGradient

This allows the user to set a gradient background within the Softimage Viewport.

XSIRuleOfThirds

This plug-in allows the user to see a 'tic-tac-toe' grid over their camera.

XSIEnvelope

This is a suite of tools aimed at making the enveloping process a bit easier.

XSISelectionSets

A quick and convienent way to store and access selections.

PoseBalls

The benefit of this plugin is that it allows you to create persitant pivots for scenarios where you will want to rotate an object around a static pivot in relation to itself.

Downloads for x32 & x64 and a slightly longer description can be found here

Hi,

Does anyone has the 64bit version of the XSIRulesofThirds addon?

I can only find the 32bit version of it.

cheers!

Not sure, but looking at the xsiaddon-xml, this addon should incorporate both dlls...

[Rork]

Hmm, I tried that one, but it doesn't seem to work anymore with 2013.

Will have a go again. cheers!

Missing Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable maybe? It was a prerequisite of all the softmonkey plugs, IIRC.

[Rork]

Nope. First thing I checked.
And I've installed all those puppies over here. ;-)

Edit: never mind, got it working. As usual a couple of reboots of SI did the trick.

I can't seem to access these links at all.... they are broken...

[Hirazi Blue]

Try the "local backup" (it's a separate link with each entry) at rray.de
Typing "softmonkey" in the search field brings them all up... ;)
