icecache support #13

Would be nice to have Xsi particle format support, described here :

It is relatively easy to add new file formats to partio. Simply write a reader/writer io class (take a look at GEO.cpp for a simple ascii example). We don't use ice at Disney so this is not likely a huge priority on my front, but I will accept a patch that adds this support.

Is it still in progress? Thanks!

redpawfx commented 12 years ago

If I can get my hands on some simple test files for ice-cache I may be able to hack something together for this. Can anybody give me a simple 10-50 particle file as an example output ? in some sort of shape like a circle or straight line in X Y and Z or something like that?

ghost commented 12 years ago

redpawfx, sure! Here a circle and a line with some attributes: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/10965660/ice_stuff/icecache.zip

Thanks, I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise anything on any sort of timeline. Stay tuned.

No problem, John. Thanks for your response

The original link to the format description seems not to work (at least, on Firefox under Ubuntu). Here is an alternative: http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/index.php?title=Icecache_File_Format

I am in the process of merging a patch file from MadCrew to the redpawfx fork, to support IceCache but I still don't have access to XSI software to generate any test data..

The dropbox link from procedural above went stale, can anybody else provide me with some test data?

just a circle and "stick" of particles or something simple. I'd like to test this out and special thanks to the MadCrew guy(s) for the format update.

Sorry, John, for some reason i haven't received email notification. The link is updated, it should work now. There is a circle with Color and ID attributes Q9JY8lv
