Hi Eric, you have enabled the whole Softimage community to do things they couldn’t do before - with simple as well as some very involved tools. Dependable, well thought out, genuinely useful and not just gimmicks – for many one or other of your tools has become an essential part of their work.

Softimage at Siggraph?

Back when the wounds of the retirement of Softimage were still fresh, there was some talk on this list about ensuring some kind of presence for Softimage at this year's Siggraph. Is something like this still in the works, however minimal this might be, or has this died as being too impractical?

Glad to know the flag is working for you. The refactoring was done to improve selection response in large/complex scenes (in some scenes, up to 20x faster). The algorithm was changed significantly so we introduced XSI_DISABLE_NEW_PICK to revert back to the legacy algorithm in case of issues.
