DataRepository.GetCount versus FindObjects

Posted on by

Here’s a snippet that will go through a bunch of CLSIDs, find out how many objects with each CLSID are in the DataRepository (the internal object database), and how many objects with each CLSID can be found with FindObjects.

What’s a bit surprising is the difference in the two numbers. For example, in a blank new scene, there are 19 PoseCompensatorOps in the DataRepository, but FindObjects gets just four.

The idea behind doing this was that it might be helpful to troubleshoot problem scenes (eg something really weird might show up in a problem scene).

iObjTotal = 0

for x in CLSIDs:
	s = ""
	o = None
	iObjCurrent = XSIUtils.DataRepository.GetCount( x )
	iObjTotal = iObjTotal + iObjCurrent

	if iObjCurrent > 0:
		print "%i instances of CLSID %s" % ( iObjCurrent, x )
		o = Application.FindObjects( "", x )
		for i in range(o.Count):
			s += "   %s (%s)\n" % ( o(i), Application.ClassName( o(i) ) )
			
	print s
	
print iObjTotal

Here’s a full-fledged script .

And here’s the output for all the CLSIDs from the Softimage ComServerLocations registry entry (for a new scene in Softimage 2014 SP2, with Arnold installed…76 ArnoldRenderOptions properties, really? 🙂

Before Softimage started shipping with Phoenix Tools ParticleSuite in 1999, SOFTIMAGE 3D had its own standalone particle system. If you wanted your particles in a SOFTIMAGE 3D scene, you had to follow this procedure:

  • Render the SOFTIMAGE 3D scene within SOFTIMAGE 3D, using the SOFTIMAGE renderer with the Render Z Channel option selected in the Render Setup dialogue box.
  • Load the SOFTIMAGE 3D rendered images into the Particle renderer as background images.
  • Render the particle animation. Then composite the particle animation using the depth information from the z-channel of the SOFTIMAGE 3D rendered images to create seamless three-dimensional
    animation with a particle effect.

Here’s an overview of the SOFTIMAGE|PARTICLE interface (from the Particle User Guide) and a few screenshots of the viewport.

Dispatching XSI.Factory versus using the intrinsic XSIFactory object

Posted on by

The other day in the comments, A asked about some Python I had posted a few years ago: Why did I manually dispatch XSI.Factory instead of just using the global XSIFactory object? Honestly, I don’t know why I did. I had seen other code do it that way, so I did it too. And I see that the sipyutils.py also dispatches objects like XSI.Application, XSI.Utils, and XSI.Math, so I figured I was in good company.

A little research shows that XSIFactory uses late bound automation (aka dynamic dispatch) and so avoids any possible problems with the pywin32 cache. Late-bound automation means that PythonCOM doesn’t know what properties or methods the object supports; whenever you try to access a property or method, PythonCOM will query the object to find out if the property/method is supported.

In contrast, when you dispatch XSI.Factory, PythonCOM uses the pywin32 cache to support early-binding, where all the available properties and methods are known beforehand.

You can read more about this Chapter 12 of Python Programming on Win32, Advanced Python and COM

Here’s a little Python snippet demonstrating the differences between a dispatched XSI.Factory and the global XSIFactory object. Note in particular the output of dir() for each object.

from win32com.client import Dispatch as disp
sifact = disp('XSI.Factory')

print sifact
print XSIFactory
# <win32com.gen_py.Softimage|XSI Object Model Library v1.5.XSIFactory instance at 0x564246344>
# <COMObject XSIFactory>

print dir(sifact)
print dir(XSIFactory)
# ['CLSID', 'CreateActiveXObject', 'CreateFCurveKeyCollection', 'CreateFCurveParamDef', 'CreateGridData', 'CreateGridParamDef', 'CreateGuid', 'CreateObject', 'CreateObjectFromFile', 'CreateObjectFromFile2', 'CreateObjectFromPreset', 'CreateObjectFromPreset2', 'CreateParamDef', 'CreateParamDef2', 'CreateScriptedOp', 'CreateScriptedOpFromFile', 'CreateShaderDef', 'CreateShaderParamDefOptions', 'RemoveShaderDef', '_ApplyTypes_', '__doc__', '__eq__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '_get_good_object_', '_get_good_single_object_', '_oleobj_', '_prop_map_get_', '_prop_map_put_', 'coclass_clsid']
# ['_Close_', '__doc__', '__getattr__', '__init__', '__module__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '_scriptItem_']

print sifact.__module__
print XSIFactory.__module__
# win32com.gen_py.269C4D8C-E32D-11D3-811D-00A0C9AC19A9x0x1x0.XSIFactory

Why you cannot use shortcuts to access the ViewportCapture settings

Posted on by

In the comments, G asks:

Why do you have do this:

si = Application
oViewportCapture = si.Dictionary.GetObject( "ViewportCapture" )
oViewportCapture.NestedObjects( "Start" ) = 10

and not this:

si = Application
oViewportCapture = si.Dictionary.GetObject( "ViewportCapture" )
oViewportCapture.Start = 10

CaptureOptions
The answer is that the ViewportCapture object is not a ProjectItem, and so does not support the Parameters property. ViewportCapture is a CollectionItemLegacy object (and before that, it was an SIObject). 

si = Application
p = si.Dictionary.GetObject( "ViewportCapture.Start" )
p.Value = 10
#si.SetValue( "ViewportCapture.Start", 10 )

Using environment variables in .wkg files

Posted on by

I couldn’t find this in the docs anywhere, but I did find it mentioned in some old emails. You can use environment variables in the .wkg file, like this:

$SITOA_WKG_PATH
$MOOTZOID_WKG_PATH

or this:

${SITOA_WKG_PATH}
${MOOTZOID_WKG_PATH}

Either syntax worked for me when I tried it.

There does seem to be some weirdness with loading workgroup shaders this way, but that’s still under investigation.

Scripting – Creating an empty polygon mesh

Posted on by

There’s several ways to create an empty polygon mesh with the Object Model.

from sipyutils import si			# win32com.client.Dispatch('XSI.Application')
from sipyutils import log		# LogMessage
from sipyutils import C			# win32com.client.constants

si = si()
o = si.Selection(0)

if o.IsClassOf( C.siX3DObjectID ):
	o.AddPolygonMesh()
	o.AddPrimitive( "EmptyPolygonMesh"  )
	o.AddGeometry( "EmptyPolygonMesh" )
