SoftimageToIv converts Softimage model and scene files to Inventor 2.0
files.
SoftimageToIv [-h] [-v verbose_setting] [-m] [-l] [-r rsrc_path]
[-d input_db] [-c complexity] [-t texture_quality] [-o] [-f]
[-i] [-k knot_epsilon] [-g] [outfile]
Where
Softimage model file to convert. The file can be either a model file
(.hrc) or a scene file (.dsc). If is absent input comes from
stdin. If is absent output comes to stdout.
Inventor file. If is absent output goes to stdout.
-h
Display this usage guide
-v verbose
Give feedback on conversion process according to the verbose setting.
0 Do not print any summary. This is the default value.
1 Print a summary of the applied options and a count list of the
processed Softimage entities.
2 Print a summary of the applied options, a count list of the
processed Softimage entities, and the name of each Softimage entity
that is processed.
-m
Indicates that the input file is a model file (.hrc). If this flag isn't
specified the translator assumes that the input file is a scene file
(.dsc).
-l
Use latest version of the given scene.
-r rsrc_path
Specifies the path where the resources can be found. The default path is
/usr/softimage/rsrc
-d input_db
Specifies the input database. The default is the first database in the
DatabaseDir.rsrc file.
-c complexity
The complexity setting to use in the inventor file. The value ranges from
0.0 (lowest complexity) to 1.0 (highest complexity) with the default being
0.5.
-t texture_quality
The texture quality setting to use in the inventor file. The value ranges
from 0.0 (lowest complexity) to 1.0 (highest complexity) with the default
being 0.1.
-o
Don't convert cameras. This makes it easier to examine the models when
they are loaded into ivview.
-f
Use one normal for each face rather than one normal for each vertex when
converting polysets.
-i
Inherit transformations from parent. This will not produce accurate
results if the model uses inverse kinematics or constraints.
-k knot_epsilon
Inventor has problems tesselating surfaces if the knots are close together
If a knot_epsilon is specified, the knot vector will be scaled so that the
knots are no closer together than knot_epsilon.
The translator will be bundled with SGI computers and available to SGI
customers. It is a license from Abaco to SGI for use by SGI customers.
