ICE always does some amount of evaluation of its inputs. How else
would it know what datatype your GetData nodes are getting?
Using an "If" is your best bet, but to prevent slowdowns using stuff
like groups, you should unplug the inputs until you're ready.

If you want to rescale polygons using particle sizes, that's tricky, but to
apply the same size from another cloud with the same pointcount, you can
use "ID to Location", feed it your external pointcloud with the size

Protips:
- Instead of rightclick and "Rename", just doubleclick the text name.
- Once you are in editable text, don't forget you can use the Home and End
keys on your keyboard to advance to the front or to the end of the text. (A
lot of people forget those keys exist.)

I'm not sure that concept scales... I don't wanna load a crapton of addons
I don't know the purpose of. What if some of them conflict with each other?
What if someone poorly coded a few events? Hell naw!
Besides, with something like Package Control, you gotta be savvy enough to

One of the pipeline TDs here has got PySide to compile for Python 2.5 and
this morning it was showing a rudimentary pyqt modal dialog without
segfaulting. No victory dance yet, but it's a start.

About your second question, I believe it's pure; I'll ask.

In Linux, it's the Internet Explorer 5 engine. Making anything modern work
on that is borderline masochistic.
Any kind soul wanna build a Chromium netview? :p

We got a few Knoll ones for testing at work and it was a mixed bag of
opinion. Some like the bendy back but a lot of people really don't.
Yes, it's comfortable, but I'm not sure it is conductive to a good posture.
It doesn't hold your back straight (in an ergonomic ideal position); it

Hey guys,
Anyone know if it's possible to deal with the Action Connection Resolution
stuff via scripting without having the dialog appear?
It seems XSI is not saving the correct item name when saving an actionclip
of a marked parameter on a property on the model null itself.

By the way, once you tab to choose one, I autocomplete all the arguments as
a "snippet" and you can tab through the named arguments to write your own
variables or delete them.

Yes, yes it is.

You'll probably be fine. There's not THAT many changes between 2.5 and 2.6,
