Procedural Topo Pack
Various ICE topology compounds that I made for last months. Fully compatible with SI 2012. After installation they can be found in Context, Interactive and Topology categories of the Tool tab menu
Draw Bones Inside Mesh
Inspired by Cesar Saez’s Bone Sketching tool. Select desired mesh and click on Animate -> Skeleton -> Draw Bones Inside Mesh menu. You can quickly choose prefix name and color for the chain which will be drawn. Example video
Quick Cache 2
This plugin helps you cache point clouds, meshes and curves in a quick and efficient way. Installation: copy “QuickCache” folder into “Application\Plugins” user folder and restart Softimage. To add it into a scene, go to Model -> Property -> QuickCache. Quick video overview
Implosia Tools 2.5
A toolbar and compounds for Mr. Core’s Implosia FX ICE based shatter. Features: the glass/bomb/weightmap type of destruction with the possibility to make different chunks from a shattered geometry (method based on Implosia polyisland information, so it’s quick and stable) and convert chunks into pointcloud with shapes that repeats the original geometry. Installation: drag-and-drop .xsiaddon file into the viewport. Softimage 2012 and Implosia FX 1.1 are required
Constraint to Particles Extended
Based on Guillaume Laforge’s “Transform Objects by Particles” command that you can find in Softimage ICE -> Kinematics/Effects panel by default. I rewrote it a bit to simplify the process. Instalation: copy ConstraintToParticlesExtended.py plugin to your \Autodesk\Softimage_2012_SP1\Application\Plugins user folder. Now all you need to create nulls and constrain them is select some points on desired objects and run InstantiateNulls.py script
Flipper
Duplicates and flip an object at certain intervals. Based on the Autoplanes Transform 3DsMax script. A detailed video preview
John Conway’s Game of Life on ICE
Create an empty point cloud and add “Life” compound to it. You can use toolbar for adding selected points indices. The “Live” button has a slowdown value inside that you can change to 0 to see the actual speed. SI 2012 required. Have fun with it!
Rings Compound
Creates range of circles with the ability to use harmonic motion, archimedean spiral, polar coordinates and roses. Also each circle has local matrix, that means you can create unique looking shapes in three dimentions
Test Quads
A compound which tests the quads on the number of points. Also it can show triangle areas and unconnected vertices. This compound is good for debugging geometry on modelling stage
ICE Rigs
Couple of my old rigs which based on ICE
ICE Examples
A few example scenes that was showed on “Softimage Day” event at RealTime School
