Display Presets - XSI Addon

October 25th, 2006 at 2:25 pm | Posted in 3D Stuff, XSI Resourses |

Display Presets InterfaceDownload (Requires XSI v5.1)

Description:
This is a simple addon to make it easier to setup display settings on 3D views for certain workflows.

This addon will create presets for different display types inside the addon’s install directory. The presets are stored as XSI presets, and a dynamic menu is used to save and load the presets onto the active viewport’s camera.

Usage:
Under the Display mode menu of a viewport you will find a new entry called “Display Presets”. Expanding this menu item will show all of the installed display presets (there are some by default) and two extra entries to save and manage the presets.

To save a new preset, setup the viewport’s display options to suit and then click on “Save New Preset…”. This will open a simple option box where you can give a name to your preset. If the name matches an existing preset, it will be overridden automatically.

Clicking on “Manage Presets…” will open a terminal on Linux or a Explorer on Windows, pointed at the preset directory. Here you can rename or delete the presets. Updates are shown immediately in the interface.

Installation Instructions:
Drag’n'drop the addon file into a viewport or Use the File>Addon>Install tool.

I recommed using Firefox 2+, since it includes a built in spell checker.
