Thanks for the info guys, This is super helpful. I just played around with List Reference Edits in the Reference Editor. You can list and remove edits in there Seems similar to a delta in there. Just far less readable. But when I remove edits, I dont have to update referenced model to see an u

There are good things, and bad things. You can certainly go with it, countless movies and commercials prove it's possible, but you do have to change mentality quite drastically as out of the box you get a much less complete experience. While the much vaunted open-ness of the platform discussed in a

I've tried Motion Builder and HumanIK directly inside Maya, but the main issue that I have is that both MB and HIK have the same "constraint" that is Y axis must be Up, while in my case Z is up.

Re: HDRI Light Studio for Softimage addon

Sounds great, thanks! Someone here is always nagging me to use HDRI light studio (as he uses it with max) so he will be pleased. If I could be of any assistance regarding the vray implementation let me know! Simon Reeves London, UK *si...@simonreeves.com * *www.simonreeves.com

Re: HDRI Light Studio for Softimage addon

Well hopefully it will just work with V-Ray. The problem I have run into with some renderers is that they won't automatically update when the HDRI is updated so I need to try to add specific code to force the update for that renderer. On 9/16/2014 5:00 AM, Simon Reeves wrote: Sounds great, th

Re: HDRI Light Studio for Softimage addon

No problem Ben and thank you for doing this. I am glad to donate! Seems we, the users and big, and small devs, are the ones doing what AD couldn't do... Step by step have a better Softimage... Even if SI is "dead"... Cheers! --- Emilio Herná

Re: HDRI Light Studio for Softimage addon

Yep. I'm spending some time with new applications (always have). But when it comes to my animation work I'm still much more efficient with Softimage and probably will be for a while yet. I updated the web page with a separate download link. I would really be just as happy if people try it out

Re: HDRI Light Studio for Softimage addon

"DEAD" is a relative term. SI is only "dead" as far as a revenue generator for the ones who tried to kill it. I think that now there are many that see how much "life" this app still has. Thanks, Ben, for making this available to the "dead?" SI community. On Tue, Sep 16, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Emilio H

that’s why you have these white powder sprays to cover shiny/transparent objects and make a clean scan. I once covered a brand new, very shiny, top of the line Mercedes with that – a bit like graffing it entirely in white :-) - it certainly gave a kick. needless to say this is not a solution if y
