OK COOL everything works now!

One final thing I needed was to actually get a license for 3delight.
This was done very fast by registering on a web-page and 3 minutes
after I had the free license for 2 CPU's.

I gotta say, that motion-blur is fast! and the particle rendering is
very interesting too.

looking forward to playing with this.

thanks for all the help!

Hey Thanks both!

but what language should the script editor be in, cause I keep
getting errors with parentheses and Type mismatch, etc...

cheers!

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);
