Softimage WebGL Exporter

====================================


Description



Let you export a Autodesk Softimage scene into a WebGL project.


The project is written as a SoftImage C++ plugin and the the export


will create a WebGL project (json, html, javascript and images).



The project contains a simple WebGL renderer written in javascript.



Installation (Softimage)



The current project requires Autodesk Softimage 2011 64-bit on Windows. 


(If you are using a different version the code must be recompiled)



Install plugin



Install Visual C++ Redistributable Package (Downloaded from either Microsofts or http://faux.uwcs.co.uk/vcredist/ )

Open Softimage

Go the the menu File -> Plug-in Manager



Choose the second tab 'Workgroups'

Click on the 'Connect...'-button

Add the workgroup folder (located in the same directory as this file)

The plugin should now be installed and the menu item 'WebGL Export' should appear.



Usage

Checkout the help videos located in the folder 'help_videos'

For more documentation on how to use exporter, open the WebGL Export -> WebGL Exporter wizard and click on the questionmark next to WebGLExportProp.


Compilation



The environment variable XSISDK_ROOT needs to be set to 'C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Softimage 2011\XSISDK' (or where ever SoftImage XSISDK is installed).


Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 will be used for compiling the project.





The MSVC project file is located here: 


workgroup\Addons\WebGLExport\cppsrc\WebGLExport.vcxproj



Known issues





WebGL renderer: Mouse movement in browser: Sometimes mouse key events are lost and movement continues

WebGL renderer: Mouse movement in browser: Vertical movement does not always work.

Softimage plugin: The exporter ignores everything it doesn't understand. Instead it should give error messages in some situations.

Softimage plugin: Should verify that the texture dimensions is valid.

Softimage plugin: More shaders should be better supported (Lambert and constant shader)
