modo 601: A Landmark Release for Luxology

modo 601: A Landmark Release for Luxology
A lot of the focus of this release will be on the new Character Animation tools, but modo has had the ability to animate for years now, although there was no comprehensive toolset for character animation. modo 601 is the capstone to Luxology's slow and sure building up of the program's animation features. With the addition of Character Animation, which includes fast skeleton creation, a full body Inverse Kinematics solver and a very useful pose tool, modo 601 is now a full-featured animation package. Something I think indie 3D filmmakers (and many other artists) are going to be very interested in.

Pose Tool / Pose Space Sculpting – The Pose Tool allows you to create poses and positions with a model, without complex rigging. You can still sculpt the mesh as well. These two tools are extremely powerful in creating precise and correct character animation.

WORKSHOPS / Thursday, May 10, Raum Karlsruhe,12:00 - 13:00

... In this workshop, we will also delve into modo 601's animation tools in some detail. modo's unique layered deformation system will be explained alongside a more traditional joint-based animation workflow. As an experienced Maya instructor, Andy will offer insights into unique modo advantages such as pose-space sculpting, freedom to modify morph targets at any time, and complete control over order of operations. The goal is to help you understand the special opportunities for using modo in production and what the artist experience is in leveraging them.

The idea behind Pose Sculpting is that instead of having to select and transform bones one by one, axis by axis, parameter by parameter, we can use the brush-based sculpt techniques to do so instead.

Pose based deformation in XSI

Pose based deformation
« on: January 29, 2006, 10:43:06 pm »

Hello all,

I have a question. Does XSI supports pose space deformation?
If you are not familiar with the term, it is the process of sculpting a corrective shape to geometry oriented by a bone, and this sculpting takes place in the pose space of the orientation.
For example you have an arm controlled by a bone, you rotate the bone at the elbow and at this pose you sculpt the biceps bulging. When you orient the bone in this pose the biceps will bulge.

I hope you can understand what I mean since English is not my native language!

Look up "Link with orientation" in the manuals

The "Link with orientation" can do what you want.
However in XSI , this corrective shapes are happen in object space (in the shape modeling mode) instead of pose/joint space( after envelope). So technically it's not a pose space deformation. Hopefully XSI willl implement such a feature in future.

Re: Pose based deformation

I just watched the Ed Harriss video about XSI 5's shape manager ,http://www.edharriss.com/xsi/version5.htm
, and without knowing how to use XSI it gives me the impression that the problem of pose space deformation is solved. Can you verify?

Python Plugin 으로 Hello World 만들기

1. 다음 코드를 helloWorld.py 로 저장
2. helloWorld.py 를 MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH 에다가 넣어줌
(/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2011/plug-ins 에다가 넣으면 됨)
3. 마야의 Plug-in Manager 에서 로드해주고
4. Script 창에서 helloWorld; 실행해주면 됨

MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH 알아내기

MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH 는
script창에서 "getenv MAYA_PLUG_IN_PATH" 해도 되고
Plug-in Manager 를 열어도 알 수 있다.
(메뉴 > Window > Settings / Preferences > Plug-in Manager)

default path 는 보통 다음과 같이 되어 있다. username이 hur일 경우
/Users/hur/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/2011-x64/plug-ins
/Users/hur/Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins
/Users/Shared/Autodesk/maya/2011/plug-ins

On MacOS, simply place a python plugin in /Users//Library/Preferences/Autodesk/maya/plug-ins/ . It is sadly somewhat undocumented, and may change from version to version, but it works great for Maya 2012. Once put there, the plugin will show up in the Window > Settings > Plugin Manager.
