Jscript - see the semi colons at the end of each line!

Hey group.

I just installed 3delight and affogato, and now I'm trying to, eeh... get something out of it with XSI:-/

I'm just curious, but I don't even know how to start or what menus/shaders/addons to look for.
There aren't any (in the conventional XSI sense of "shaders" or "menus"). But if you look at the documentation you can eventually find your way. For example this command will assign a "roughmetal" shader (select some geo, or a group/partition with some geo in it)...

AffogatoCreateShader("C:\\Program Files\\3Delight\\shaders\\ceramic.sdl",Selection(0));

and this one will assign a spotlight (select a spot)...

AffogatoCreateShader("C:\\Program Files\\3Delight\\shaders\\spotlight.sdl",Selection(0));

and this one will attach subdivision properties (note that additional params get added to the CPset)...

AddProp("Custom_parameter_list", selection(0), "", "affogatoSubdivisionSurfaces", null);
SIAddCustomParameter(selection(0) + ".affogatoSubdivisionSurfaces", "boundarytype", siInt2, 1, 0, 3, null, 4, 0, 1, null, null);
