Ice Attribute Documentation?

[Julian Johnson]

Is there any documentation on specific ICE attributes - particularly whether an attribute is settable, requires some kind of initialisation and the kind of data its capable of returning? For example, I'm looking at self. PolygonPosition but the values shown are all (0,0,0) and I'm wondering if it requires some kind of input first..

We're working on it. We'll put it on the XSI wiki when it's ready and it will be part of the docs for future releases. In the meantime, just post questions about anything specific you want to know.

PolygonPosition is read-only and it does not need to be initialized. It shouldn't be showing as (0,0,0) unless that actually is the polygon's position. How is it hooked up? Can you post a screenshot?

While I applaud the effort, I can't shake the feeling this should have been included in the original ICE-documentation to begin with... :)

@scaron - While I most certainly do show appreciation for Softimage normally, I think an "ICE Attribute Documentation" should have been included in the original documentation shipping with XSI and this rectification of it's original omission is no reason to go all "wow, well done, Softimage!" about!
