Ah yes Jason... Those were the days ;) Whatever happened to Maude? The 3dmastermind training is still quite useful since the rigging tools and techniques haven’t changed much and also shows some good animation tricks. Couple that knowledge with modern toolkits like Gear or Species and you can get by just any character rigging/animation/lip-synch project with ease. If you know someone who’s trying to get initiated to rigging in Softimage let me know and I’ll give you a complimentary copy if you’re a member on the list.

I'd like to see something more. His tricks were nice... 2013/1/21 Adrian Lopez <vfxw...@gmail.com<mailto:vfxw...@gmail.com>> Manny Papamanos released a rigging DVD for Soft a few years ago, We purchased and enjoyed it, but it may be getting a bit dated by now.. Still, alot of useful techniques from someone very close to the software. Unfortunately a second edition was not forthcoming...

That might be a big problem for May riggers sometimes. I would love it to be possible actually. Another thing is the scaling hierarchy that is different in Softimage. Though, you can have it behaving like Maya in XSI. I'm actually frustrated that you an't have it behaving like Softimage in Maya :) -- Adrian Lopez CEO.Producer.Director Liquid Light Digital www.liquidlightdigital.com<http://www.liquidlightdigital.com> -- [Image removed by sender.]...superpositiviii...qualunque cosa accada!...
