Safesave Script
- Created by Kim Aldis of Aldis
Animation, 13/2/2000 - This script is a "scene versioner and
validity checker" It adds or increments a version number on the scene
name, saves the scene then checks validity by reloading scene. "Usual
script disclaimer; if they get your sister pregnant - (or your brother,
in these enlightened times) it's not my fault. Neither is anything else,
including Porl. The Name/version delimitter is '-'. There is a Possibility
of a Scene Name being truncated ' if '-' exists elsewhere in the scene
name. Drag and drop this link from a netview browser within XSI 1.5 to install: SAFESAVE |

Wavefront
OBJ Importer v.1 by Bartek
Dabkowski - ODYSEJA
| DDD CGI Studio - This little scripty parses Wavefront OBJ files
' and builds corresponding geometry. Imports polygon meshes. Currently
ignores all other data (ex. UV) and can mess up when some non-standard
indexing is used in the OBJ NOTE: if this importer does not work for you, there is another on the XSINET, under File Converter>Import. Drag and drop this link from a netview browser within XSI 1.5 to install: OBJIMPORT |

Turntable Script
- by Kim Aldis - Website
- Turntable view simulator script. This works like the Turntable function
found in SOFTIMAGE|3D. Uses an ortho camera as a turntable equivalent.
Use the null 'Mover', translating in x to spin the turntable. The rotation
expression is Mover.x * 45 so use snapping (<ctrl> key) with a value
of one to spin the turntable view in increments of 45 degrees. Alter the
45 arg in setexpr() on the last but one line to change this granularity. Drag and drop this link from a netview browser within XSI 1.5 to install: TURNTABLE |

LM_ApplySynoptic
- Ludovick Michaud - Janimation
- Well tired of having to select the object then
apply the property "synoptic." Then select your Htm page from
the Browser. Then press F3 to bring up that synoptic view. Of course this
is just in 2.0 and higher. When in the end I want a button that ask me
for the Htm file and that's it everything else is done for you even the
opening of the synoptic chosen. So simply select an object then run the
script. Select your HTM file et Voila! This is running on 2.0 and higher
only since it's written using the object model and also the synoptic is
only available in 2.0 and higher :) Drag and drop this link from a netview browser within XSI 2.0 and above to install: LM_APPLY_SYNOPTIC |

BG_Nudge
- Bradley R. Gabe - Quietman
- For XSI 2.0.1 & up. Ever want to nudge a parameter
value up or down? This addon will install custom commands and a custom
keyboard mapping that will do just that.
1. Install BG_Nudge.xsiaddon. 7 = large nudge down 9 = large nudge up The first time the script is run, a custom PPG is created, and the user may input the increment amounts for large, medium, and small. The custom PPG is stored under the scene root and may be accessed and modified any time thereafter. The script includes basic error checking, but might not cover every situation. |

LM_transform_nudging
- Ludovick Michaud - Janimation
- Like the Nudging tool of Photoshop moving pixel by pixel an element.
Well It's there for you in XSI. This tools works only on marked parameters
and will only work on the first one marked, for instance if you mark pos
it will only work on posx. Now keep in mind that you can use it for virtually
any parameters that are markable in XSI. It's being used in conjuction
with transform -> transformation setup -> translation. The value
in this field will allows you to determine by how much you want to nudge.
Usage : Select a 3D Object. Mark a parameter like posx. Run the script
(by default if you haven't modified the translation in transformation
setup you should move by 1 in positive X) Now you want to nudge negatively,
simply press and hold ctrl while running the script. Note that you could
attach that script to keypad and just nudge pressing the ctrl up and ctrl
down arrow. Drag and drop this link from a netview browser within XSI 1.5 and above to install: LM_TRANSFORM_NUDGING |

CENTER ALIGNMENT
TOOL by Chris Thomas: Put
the PIVOT_TOOL.HTM file in your script directory of choice, then put the
"Pivot_GUI.jpg" in a sub directoty called IMAGES. Replace the
path "C:\scripts\Pivot_Tool.htm" in the "PIVOT_TOOL.VBS"
script to your script directory, drag the script to a toolbar and name
as usual...... PROBLEM1, The script uses a synoptic view and as such has to create a property on the scene root for storing variables during execution, please delete when not needed anymore.. PROBLEM2, I can't find a script command to turn center mode back on after picking a target object, as such you need to do this yourself (until a method can be found....) |

The
Andy Hayes Script collection - By Andy
Hayes - Most scripts that I make are orientated
for individual problems. Here are some that are more generic and could
be used in various occasions. I haven't spent a great deal of timing tweaking
them for mass usage, so I can't take any responsibility for damage incurred.
I'll update this page as often as I can. |
