Re: Zbump stopped working

[Ben Rogall <XSI_list(at)shaders.moederogall.com>]

OK I have a theory about this. I think there's a collision between the zbump spdl and the new bumpmap spdl. It looks like Softimage changed the name of the "step" input to "spacing" but didn't change the GUID when they made the bumpmap spdl. I don't know why the problem is only intermittent.

Anyway, I've uploaded a new ZBump with its "step" GUID changed:

http://shaders.moederogall.com/ZBump7b7.zip

Or you could just try changing the GUID yourself.

Hope it works,
Ben

Someone here had the same problem yesterday, but that was on xsi 6.01
upgrading to 6.5 fixed the problem.

have you tried the "deleting your XSI user folder trick" yet? :)
in many cases when xsi starts getting weird, and nothing helps, I delete 
my xsi user folder,
and restarts it.

it's partially voodoo, but it might work :)

I have a weird problem with Zbump. I use it a lot - also in XSI6.x since 
it provides two inputs. I just finished a production where I used it and 
it worked fine. Now all of a sudden I have lost the spacing control 
inside the PPG and I get this error message (and black renders) :
' WARNING : API  0.2  warn   302017: illegal argument "spacing" for 
function call to "zbump"
 What gives?
 I have not installed anything in XSI lately other that trying to 
reinstall Zbump Beta6 which I was using and now installing the latest 
version for XSI6.x - same problem.
 Any ideas will be much appreciated.
