ImageConverter is a GUI wrapper for the various Softimage conversion tools. This is a pure Tcl/Tk application you dont need a SoftWish license to run it. This is good example of how to use Tcl/Tk to wrap command line executables. Complete source is included. Image File Script Editor generates Softimage texture "scripts" from all the files in a given location whose names match a pattern. The generated texture script can be made to loop and can also be sped up or slowed down. The Image File Script Editor can also edit the sequence of textures which have been placed on a model. Contains good examples of working with textures and displaying images. Complete source is included. UDEdit is a userdata viewer/editor. Most Softimage elements can have userdata and a number of plugin make use of this userdata. UDEdit lets you view the elements of your scene, see which elements have userdata, and lets you edit that data if you wish to. Contains a nice tree structured scene viewer as well as an editor. UDEit is also a good example of the programatic use of the SoftWish find utility. Complete source is included. SliderMaker is a persistent effect. It builds Tk sliders which control Softimage elements . The Tk sliders run in a process seperate from Softimage (and could easily be made to run on a seperate machine too). The result is very much like using a MIDI controller with channels. This is an example of how to use an external process to control Softimage elements at any time and with all Softimage functionality available (unlike channels which restrict what else you can do). Complete source is included. NotesPlus is a version of UDedit which has been streamlined for use with Softimages' model notes.Unlike model notes it runs on Irix as well as NT and lets use it's own editor, or the editor of your choice. Ttf2Soft is a bevelled 3D text generator. It generates bevelled 3D dimensional test from TrueType fonts. It handles multiple lines (lines are seperated by \n) and parents all components into a single heirarchy . It is currently only available for NT. This is a text based utility which is run from the SoftWish Console.
