GEAR 1.1 released
Re: GEAR 1.1 released
P.S.: Does anything from the first Gear needs to be installed? Still no clue here ...
Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Try the modified gear mc, you don't have to install anything, just set the python path. Do some search on vimeo how to make it work. You will get it between td survivor's video.

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
That's GEAR_MC I'm talking about. Did everything like explained in the video...
Re: GEAR 1.1 released
I did a clean install of Windows and SI. Still the Guide tools > Templates don't work. Components seem to work fine, but not the chicken, horse, man, etc. Can anybody confirm that?!

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Ask Miguel Campos, about possible incompatibility issues! Jeremie 's gear templates might be not work properly with Miguel 's gear. Just an idea...

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
O.k., trying to build a rig from scratch, though I run into cycle dependency errors with the legs. WTF.
Just to be sure. I only installed Gear_mc-1.0.15.
There is also a gear_mc-master in the download area. Contrary to the 1.0.15 version the directory includes a manifest, manifest.in and a setup.py file. Are these files needed in the 1.0.15 version, too? If so, why aren't they part of the 1.0.15 zip?

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Those files are just a first step to ease packaging and distribution of gear_mc on future releases, ignore them for now
Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Thanks!
I managed to work with Gear in the meantime. One problem remains. Creating the rig is ultra slow. Biped rig takes about 12min transfering the guides into the rig. In the TD Survival video is takes seconds. My character is about 1.2 units tall. Don't know if that makes a difference.
This is on an i7 six core (3.5GHz ?) with 64gb, clean install. Python3.3 is installed.
Thanks for any tips!

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Sorry, but I am confused: why should you want to install Python 3.3? I haven't tried to install Gear_mc myself, but from the Installation Video I gather it should work with the Python version installed with Softimage, which is - if I'm not mistaken - Python 2.7. Could part of your problems with this perhaps stem from the partial slight but still significant incompatibility of Python 3 with Python 2 code?
But then again: I haven't tried installing it myself...

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
As far as I know Softimage doesn't support python 3.3! I think this is still the case.
"The “officially” supported versions of Python are the versions that ship with Softimage.
On Windows:
Python 2.6.4 & PyWin 212
We didn’t go with 2.7 because of a bug in PyWin 214.
You can use Python 2.7 if you have it installed on your system: just disable the internal Python in the scripting preferences.
Softimage won’t work with Python 3.x
On Linux:
Python 2.5
Softimage ships with Python 2.5 because we needed to compile [and distribute] the pywin32 module for a specific Python version on Linux.

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
Thanks! Probably that's the case. Not quite sure whether I installed 3.3 as I need it for LW or because I thought newest is also the best.
I'll try to de-install it and check whether this will make a difference.

Re: GEAR 1.1 released
@Pancho - Python 2 & Python 3 should AFAIK be able to coexist!
@kcsaba - Your info seems slightly outdated. For Softimage 2014 the following applies:
There have been some problems with the corresponding pywin32 version, so it might be best to install an "external" version 2.6.4 of Python, as explained by Chris Chia in the comments to this page(which I believe is the one you originally quoted)
@kcsaba - Your info seems slightly outdated. For Softimage 2014 the following applies:
(Quoted from here)For Windows and Linux, the version that is installed with Softimage is Python v2.7.3.
The version of the pywin32 extensions for both Windows and Linux is v217.
