so at the end,  this means:
A softimage-user switching to Maya thinks he is clever ... and thats the
problem.

  selected object will become child of the second

 isn't this because you'd select all the children you want to parent,
 and then finish with the single parent,
 or select all the object you want to parent-constraint to, and then
 finish the single target?
 The single object is always last and highlighted in green vs other
 ones in white.


 btw, it's written on the help line at the bottom of the screen what
 you need to select to run the menu command:
 Parent: Parent the selected object(s) to the last selected object
 Contraint-Parent: Select one or more target followed by the object
 to constrain

Re: Rigging and Animation in Modo

2014-08-22 Thread w...@fiftyeight.com
Iam also searching for an alternative-softimage,
and found this riggs done in modo https://vimeo.com/ochyming/videos very nice.

but still found not a softimage-alternative both cinema4d and modo not having
something like a schematic-view and also not an history-stacks,
on the other side c4d has realy nice deformers and tools aready built in
(squashstretch or dynamic-chains for example but in cinema4d i have the feeling
that i can not go so far as with softimage (adding points/edges on
rigged,shape-animted envelops,)

Iam more an allrounder by the way

i give it a try,  right now for one week! and i think it can be an option!

missing in the moment the stack and weightpaintingoptions but on the other side
there are a lot of tools already inside C4D like the squash and stretch-deformer

http://8bitfactory.co.uk/?p=167 http://8bitfactory.co.uk/?p=167 or the deforme
by curve options https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbhbaajVpyU

  Cheers guys. I had eleven years with Softimage, and it was the best program
 ever for me. Now apparently it’s time to move on to modo and maya. Good luck,
 good jobs to all

RE: 2015 SP1

2014-07-05 Thread w...@fiftyeight.com
yes it is perfect ..
its more than perfect, its finished

maybe some little things has to fix: since 2014 there is big problem with mirror
weights of an chainbased-envelope, cant mirror weights symmetrical!(when working
with nulls, no problem!??)
when this will be fixed, than its for me still the best perfect software...

But in 4 years i guess  its still perfect :) .


greetings from la Coruna
