SOFTIMAGE Web ’95! I remember being in a meeting where they presented the first designs for that new web page. It’s easy to forget that there was a time when companies didn’t have web pages 😉 I used the waybackmachine to dig up some old softimage.com web pages (see below): |

I’m uploading to Vimeo now, but in the meantime, here’s the screencast version.
If you have an array like [4,9,7,2], how do you get an array like [4,13,20,22], where each element is the cumulative sum of elements in the first array?
One possible approach would be to use a Repeat with Counter with Select SubArray in Array.
The Softimage 2012 product key is 590D1.
This simple example shows how to pass in the vertex and polygon data in Python.
Application.CreatePrim("Cube", "MeshSurface", "", "")
oCube = Application.Selection(0)
# tuple of tuples
# one tuple for the X coordinate, one for the Y, and one for the Z
verts = ((-0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 0.5, -0.5, 5.0), (-0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.0), (-0.5, -0.5, -0.5, -0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, -18.0))
# tuple of polygon data
polys = (4, 0, 2, 3, 1, 4, 0, 1, 5, 4, 4, 0, 4, 6, 2, 4, 1, 3, 7, 5, 4, 2, 6, 7, 3, 4, 4, 5, 7, 6)
Application.FreezeObj(oCube)
oCube.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Set(verts,polys)
To help understand the vertex and polyon data, consider this simple polygon mesh:
Given the above polygon mesh, this snippet:
oCube = Application.Selection(0) data = oCube.ActivePrimitive.Geometry.Get2() verts = data[0] polys = data[1] print verts print polys
would print this:
# ((-3.0, 4.0, 1.0, -2.0), (0.0, -4.0, 0.0, 0.0), (1.0, -4.0, 5.0, 3.0)) # (4, 0, 1, 2, 3)
