Toxik has gone through several lineup changes over the years, leaving guitarist Josh Christian as the only constant member. Contents. Biography Initial formation (1985–1987) Toxik was formed in 1985 by Joshua Christian and Lee Erwin under the name 'Toyko'. The band was forced to change its name due to the threat of legal action from a band who had already registered the name.
The band's original four-piece lineup which, because it occurred before the name change, was known as the Tokyo line up, consisted of Michael Sanders (vocals), Josh Christian (guitar), Lee Erwin (bass) and Sal Dadabo (drums). However, the line up did not remain stable, plaguing the band with line-up changes into the following year. During the same year, the band's original bassist, Lee Erwin, left Toxik citing personal reasons, to be replaced by Brian Bonini. Additionally, Sal Dadabo, the band's original drummer, was offered a touring contract with and left Toxik to be replaced by Tad Leger. These new changes would become the band's new line-up. World Circus (1987–1988) In 1987, Toxik signed onto (previously titled 'Roadracer Productions' at the time of signing), debuting their first full-length album,.
The release of the album saw one of the first introductions to the, 'progressive thrash metal' genre, charting on 's 'Best New Metal Album of the Year' for 1987 and were offered a number nine slot on the 'Metal Massacre' series with the song, 'Wasteland'. After touring, World Circus, vocalist Mike Sanders left Toxik for unknown reasons, to be replaced by Charlie Sabin.
Think This and disbandment (1989–1992) Following the received attention for the release of their debut album, Toxik released their second full-length album the following year with entitled,. After the album's release, Toxik hired guitarist John Donnelly to perform with them while touring.
The success that resulted from Think This led Toxik to tour the album throughout the United States and Europe with several bands, including, and. After years of touring, Toxik disbanded in 1992. First reunion (2007–2010) During the autumn of 2006, rereleased Toxik's World Circus (1987) and Think This (1989) along with releases of previous releases from, and.

The rereleases are digitally remastered, featuring editions of the albums. During February 2007, Toxik announced their reformation as a band. The announcement consisted of the largely original line-up of Mike Sanders (vocals), Josh Christian (guitar), Brian Bonini (bass) and former Dominion (Bill Rogers-vocals, Joe Cseko-electric guitar, Joe Casatelli- bass) drummer, Lou Caldarola (drums).

During August 2007, the band's bassist, Brian Bonini, left the new Toxik line-up, leaving Toxik with only three members. Toxik is currently in search of a new bassist to replace Brian Bonini.
Toxik announced a tour in November, 2007. The two-week tour was to have included performances at the Keep It True festival and the Ragers Elite festival in. The band was scheduled to perform at the Keep It True Festival on November 3, 2007, when the band canceled the tour due to reasons disclosed by the event organizer, 'The reason is that their Polish management booked a three week tour around the festival with eight day-offs in a row, which was not financially feasible for the band.

Since the November tour cancellation, the band has not made any public appearances.

Autodesktoxik Home Package autodesktoxik Package autodesktoxik Autodesk Composite Python scripting package. Scripting in Composite Scripts can be powerful tools for eliminating the need to perform repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming tasks manually, thereby improving the efficiency of a facility. For example you can use scripts to manage projects, import media, perform rendering, etc.
Composite ships with a number of sample scripts for performing common tasks. These sample scripts are located in the resources/scripts/examples subfolder of the Composite installation directory. Note: Example Python scripts are provided with no guarantee of effectiveness or efficiency. There are also scripts that Composite itself invokes to perform some of its tasks (archiving, rendering, pre-comp import, etc) in the resources/scripts subfolder of the Composite installation directory. You may find these scripts helpful both as examples and as starting points for your own scripts. In some cases the script command that Composite launches to accomplish a given task is specified in the project preferences.
For example, the 'Render Actions' tab in the project preferences contains the 'Render Executable' setting that specifies the Python command line executed each time you render a composition in Composite. By default, that command line launches the 'render.py' script. You can edit the command line to launch a different script or change the 'render.py' script (located in 'resources/scripts') to modify the default rendering behavior; like performing post-render tasks for example. How To Execute a Composite Python Script To successfully run a Python script that makes use of the Composite Python API (or more specifically, a script that imports Composite Python modules), it is important to run it in the right environment, for the Python interpreter to find the Composite Python modules and libraries, and for the Composite code to execute properly afterwards.
The Composite Python modules are located in the following directory (where refers to the path of the Composite installation directory): On Windows: /python/lib/site-packages/autodesktoxik On Linux: /lib/python2.6/site-packages/autodesktoxik On Mac OS: /Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/lib/python2.6/site-packages/autodesktoxik There are two contexts in which a script can be run. First, in the Composite embedded Python interpreter, i.e. Within the Composite process ('composite.exe' executable). And secondly, in an external Python interpreter, i.e. Within a Python process, typically from a shell ('python.exe' executable).
Setting Up The Environment Embedded In the case of the embedded interpreter, the environment is already set up by Composite for a Python script to run properly.
