Subject: Xgs_Slate - custom display callback now available on XSI Net ( w/
source code )
Hello,
I published the final version of my Xgs_Slate tool for Win32 on XSI Net :
http://www.softimage.com/xsinet/ ( look under "add-ons" ).
The archive also contains the project source code ( see 040616_Xgs_Slate
_Project.zip ).
Installation :
a.. download archive ( 040515_Xgs_Slate_All.zip )
b.. extract "040616_Xgs_Slate.xsiaddon"
c.. launch XSI 4.0
d.. install the Addon ( User, Factory, Workgroup, as you wish )
e.. open a Scene Explorer : you can see a "Xgs_Slate" custom property on
the scene root
f.. open the Xgs_Slate custom property page
g.. enable the "Active" toggle : you should see information displayed in
the 3D views
Notes :
a.. all parameters are animatable so you can control what information gets
shown when during a sequence
b.. the default bitmap name is "Xgs_Slate.bmp" and is stored in same
location as the DLL
c.. you can select any 32 bits ( RGBA ) bitmap image encoded in .BMP format
( use browser )
d.. the bitmap image covers the whole view and its Alpha channel is used to
reveal geometry drawn underneat
e.. the "Xgs_Slate" property on the scene root is automatically re-created
if deleted manually ( comes back inactive by default )
f.. information is displayed for any view using a perspective camera
Enjoy !
