On the subject of PhysX hardware acceleration, I saw this press release yesterday:
NVIDIA GPUs Provide Edge to 3D Animators Utilizing Autodesk Softimage 2011
Integration of NVIDIA PhysX Engine and CUDA Enables Artists to Create Realistic Water, Lifelike Characters and Dynamic Explosions With Reactive Debris
Here’s a Python version of the CustomOperator.AddParameter example in the SDK docs, which shows how to add parameters to a scripted operator (SCOP).
from win32com.client import constants
from win32com.client import constants
null1 = Application.GetPrim( "Null" )
f = XSIFactory
s = """def MySOP_Update( ctx, out ):
xsi = Application
xsi.logmessage( 'update' )"""
sop = f.CreateScriptedOp( "MySOP", s, "Python" )
sop.AddOutputPort( null1.posx )
param1 = sop.AddParameter( f.CreateParamDef2("text", constants.siString, "hello") )
param2 = sop.AddParameter( f.CreateParamDef2("bool", constants.siBool, True) )
param3 = sop.AddParameter( f.CreateParamDef2("int", constants.siInt4, 10, 0, 100) )
param4 = sop.AddParameter( f.CreateParamDef2("dbl", constants.siDouble, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0) )
sop.Connect()
Application.InspectObj( sop )
Raytraced soft shadows are not implemented for infinite lights.
