Nodepad is an agile environment for prototyping special effects. Useful for visualizing in advance an algorithm before it gets implemented in a more complex software such as Maya, XSI, or blender. Written completely in python. It is very easy to create new scenes with a simple .py file. You can find more info at: sourceforge.net/projects/nodepad2d/

Requirements

I'm trying to create new tools for animation to make it easier and faster. Now it is a avaible a video of the first tool. No Comment! :P

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in for crowd effects simulation. Still in developing. An operator that works on a particles emitter. The parameters are useful for: avoiding obstacles and particles collisions, giving randomness to animations, specifying obstacles, leader/goal and surface following.

Version

Language

Requirements

A new Morph mixer for lightwave. This plug allows unlinear morph defined by a bezier spline for the choosen axis and it allows morph temporization by setting a frames delay number and a texture, which defined the points to be delayed.

Version

Language

Requirements

This operator is a prototype for a crowd simulator I want to develop. Actually the operator works on objects. The algorithm evaluates the possible collisions with obstacles or with other objects owning “DF_Reach The Goal”. Look into the reel breakdown for more infos.

Version

Language

Requirements

This modeling plug can modify object geometry by moving its points on their normals or using a bulging effect. It was developed mainly for landscapes creation and organic deformation. My first plug in C. :) The algorithm will evaluate points of a mesh and it checks if they are inside the deformation spheres defined by handles, interpolations and frequency. In the sphere session the plug will find the intersection of the normal with the spheres.

Version

Language

Requirements

This plug-in was created mainly for deforming a mesh by moving its points using some control handles. Very useful for creating morph and for combing hair. The algorithm maps the evaluated point using the initial positions of the control points and it uses the mapped value to define the new point position.

Version

Language

Requirements

A procedural rig for Lightwave. It allows the creation both biped and quadruped skeletons creation. Moreover "sub-session", for the creation of rig subparts, like arms or legs, are supported.A module for weight maps creation is supported too. Just a loooooooooooooooooong time to find a working and easy animatable rig for Lightwave. Not a easy job. :)

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in for Messiah for displacing points of a mesh with some geometry primitives (cube, plane and sphere). The primitives’ center is defined by a null position and their shape by its rotation and scale. The deformations can be mixed by a slider. The tricky part is in finding what points resides in the primitives and after this to displace them. This is done by matrix multiplications to transform the points positions in the reference null local space. (I love math! :) )

Version

Language

Requirements

A Custom Operator for XSI. This allows to attract objects residing in an influence sphere. The center of the sphere is determined by another object. The plug-in takes as arguments the radius for the reference sphere and the strength of the attractive force.

Requirements

A set driven key for messiah. Nothing particular exciting here. :)

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in for Lightwave allowing the user to place object randomly on a reference object. The plug-in takes as arguments offsets for position,rotation and scale; users can choose to allocate them on the entire object or just on a part of it by specifying a weight map. The algorithm, for placing objects, bases the calculation on a mesh points.

Version

Language

Requirements

This plug can create object in layout, as Lightwave couldn't until the nine version. This works in eight version too. This script uses embedded data, residing inside the script, for creating the new primitives.

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in for welding points in symmetry mode too, as native Lightwave weld doesn't. Both weld and weld average are provided. This script use a control to verify is simmetry is on, as Lscript doesn't support a way to check it.

Version

Language

Requirements

These plugs allow the user to make a multiple selection and save the transform objects, a sequence of morphs or replace them. Nothing of particular exciting in this script. :)

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in to recover the symmetry in Lightwave, as it lose it often. Nothing particular exciting. :)

Version

Language

Requirements

A plug-in for nested objects management of a Lighwave scene. This plug contains a very simple algorithm for navigating in a hiearchy and for applying the same modifies to all the items of it.
