Hi Chris, May I ask - the stuff posted in this annoying thread - is it going down the drain if we don't log it again over there? You see, since Softimage is not quite open source, people need a litte reassurance they get heard before the king, so to speak... Thanks! Eugen Am 08.09.2012 05:40,

when a region is set to use pass render options, and you choose the 'options' from the drop down, could we inspect the pass render options and not just a property page that says 'Use Current Pass Options'!? s On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 6:59 PM, Steven Caron wrote: > but my sessions isn't over... re

saving the scene destroys hidden render regions, actually even opening the dialog does it. example, draw a region, looks beautiful. now hide it, and go to file save as, save the scene, try to middle click and bring back the region. all gone! s On Fri, Sep 7, 2012 at 2:29 AM, Rob Chapman wrote:

Yeah, the pass through node *looks* like a real node and your eye catches on it as you are threading through your graph, where as a dot node is relatively unobtrusive and your eye just flows right over it.

Hi everyone! Just a small note on this (maybe this helps debugging further..): - having just a .xsirtcompound in a workgroup plus an open/once opened rendertree when unloading is a sure crasher (you dont even need a custom renderer in that workgroup) - the PluginManager["Tree" & "Workgroup" tabs]
