Importing files (2)

Hi here

Save your image as a .tga (Targa) in photoshop then open soft, go to tools - import - image, choose targa then locate your saved file and that should work.

There has another person asked that before.

Get a plug-in from highend 3D, so that you can save photoshp file into .pic file fomat.

To add a little more to what HapZunglam has said:

I beleive the file you need is called Soft.8BI. Just put the file in your ...Photohshop/Plugins/FileFormats directory. Restart Photoshop and you should now be able to read and write Softimage .pic files directory in Photoshop. Note: When saving besure to use .pic and not .pict which is also listed.

You can still use the soft2tga or tga2soft command if you need to use your rendered frames in an editing package that doesn't use .pic. If you have Adobe AfterEffects, this reads .pic files directly.

Hope this helps,
Urp

To make this even easier I've written some Softimage post frame scripts that will convert the pics, to just about any format the standalones support, on the fly during the rendering.

You can get them here: http://www.edharriss.com/soft3x\_tools.htm

They are called located in the "SOFTIMAGE|3D Scripts" section and are called "Softimage File format output scripts"

Hope this helps.

Ed,
I wanted to take a moment to say thanks for creating your tools and compiling those of others into one place. I am sure many others have thanked you, but I wanted to take a moment to say it myself. I think providing information like this is crucial to the Soft community.

FYI: I've been wanting a tag line tool for polymeshes for quite sometime, and now I have one.

Thanks,
Urp

Thanks a lot there Urp! I really appreciate the compliments. I am glad that I am able to help the Softimage community out. If you (or anyone) run across anything useful that you think belongs on my site, let me know about it. I'll be happy hunt down the creator and ask them if I can post it. It only takes a few min and can save so many people (including me) a lot of time. Half the reason why I made the site was so that I could have easy access to those tools myself! =)

If you've made something that you'd like to share with the Soft community, let me know. I'll post it along with credits to you. I also suggest that people submit those same items to Highend3D as well. Spread the Softimage cheer!

Thanks again,

-Ed
