Concerning this post you have made in the other thread:

Quote:

Ahh isn't your sharp shadow problem only coming from the fact that you are not putting any radius / angle / Softness in the shadows of your lights ?

On my render on the left is default mia_physical_sun softness value and on the right is adjusted softness.

Is it what you meant ? and is it the same thing than in sIBL_GUI For XSI thread ?

KS

The issue is that my 3D object at same time a part of it is in shadow of another object so should make only a soft shadow in the ground, another part in sunlight. and should make hard shadows in the ground.

I am trying the CTRL-Ghost(http://www.si-community.com/community/viewtopic.php?p=4681#p4681) to experiment Mentalray IBL,Irradiance/Importons and Progressive Rendering. It seems to give good results. What would be the changes to do to sIBL to be compatible with it?

The issue is that if someone don't have it, then the Template will not work, that's why for example the SI templates were not done in Python, AD was not shipping it's Python implementation with SI ( Though they do now in SI 2011 ).

I understand if you don't want to go there just an idea.

Yeah but I have no idea on how AD will integrate those new features in SI 2012, meaning that I will basically wrote a Template specifically for CTRL_Ghost and that it will be made useless by the next SI release. A sure thing is that AD will not use a geoshader to implement all this, meaning all the code I may write will be obsolete.

Platinum Senior Member Offline I love HDR Posts: 91 Canada	Re: sIBL_GUI For XSI Reply #232 - 11/14/10 at 22:22:48 Is the latest build for sIBL_GUI_XSI from Nov 5th, 2010 ? I think I have downloaded the latest build but there is no way of knowing ? After reading the entire thread, I never came across where I can download the sIBL_GUI Program to use with the XSI Addon, I'm in a project and I want to start using it !

Linux is kind of a pain for that. sIBL_GUI however should run properly on it and is tested regulary against it, you however need to grab the source and the dependencies ( PyQt, SQLalchemy ). KS

Splin Ex Member	Re: sIBL_GUI For XSI Reply #236 - 01/31/11 at 10:58:47 Is my understandment correct that currently there is no support for Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage package? I get error while loading the sIBL. Says it is compiled for other version than I am currently using.

Hi Splin,

Did you took a look there : http://kelsolaar.hdrlabs.com/?dir=./sIBL_GUI/Support/Softwares/XSI/sIBL_GUI_XSI_...

There is a sIBL_GUI_Server release for Softimage 9.5.184.0 ( Softimage 2011 Subscription Advantage Pack ).

Always check your Softimage build version in Help -> About Autodesk Softimage... to get your current version.

Notice that there is no difference between x86 or x64 ( It just mean I compiled it on a x64 or x86 SI).

Cheers,

Thomas
