Random Wire Colour Group
this will create a group from your selection and give the group a Display property with a rand wireframe colour. This is useful for using singling out rig components on rigs where the colours are similar and common. It is also non-destructive, and the small reset script can be used to destroy the groups and return your rig visuals to vanilla.
xsi=Application
from random import random as rand
oSel=xsi.Selection
if (oSel.Count==0):
XSIUIToolkit.MsgBox (”Nothing Selected”)
for i in oSel:
oName=i.Name
oGrp=xsi.CreateGroup(”ColourGrp_” + oName,”",”")
odp=xsi.AddProp(”Display Property”, “”, “”, “”, “”)
xsi.SetValue(”ColourGrp_”+oName+”.display.wirecolorr”, rand(), “”)
xsi.SetValue(”ColourGrp_”+oName+”.display.wirecolorg”, rand(), “”)
xsi.SetValue(”ColourGrp_”+oName+”.display.wirecolorb”, rand(), “”)
xsi.DeselectAll()
Use this simple reset script to delete all the colour groups from your scene in one blow! This will return all your rig elements to normal.
xsi=Application
xsi.DeleteObj(”ColourGrp_*”)
xsi.DeselectAll()
so its been ages.
Busy with work and busy prepping for the new baby. Had lots of people visiting over the last couple months, and Soos was over for the whole Easter weekend. Beck just had her birthday and we went to a stylish place called the Bentley for some dinner and drinks.
nowadays we are just counting down the time till the bub arrives! not long so stay tuned for further info.
Deftones have a new album out called Diamond Eyes. Strangely enough the cover art is OWLS!! I SEE OWLS EVERYWHERE…OOOOWWWWLLLLSSSS

New music picks - Vampire Weekend, and the song Giving Up The Gun
they are performing at Horden Pav. in Sydney in May, might check em out if anyone can babysit 
but prolly not
speaking of live music, Temper Trap are playing the Pav. too, in July.
Beck and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary on Sunday 21st (Equinox for those who care) and we had a lovely day with a slow moving morning with home cooked breakfast, then off to Sean’s Panorama in Bondi Beach for a lunch. Very nice restaurant with food from one of Oz’s most interesting chefs. We then spent the rest of the arvo being very full and exchanging super cool pressies
Its been and exciting year and we both look forward to the imminent adventures of our small family!
