I just found an old post of you explaining the problems, that's a shame the CDH and sequencers are not rock solid, as well as we don't have a modern viewport. Particulary when the supposed dominant SI market is videogames in Japan... ----------------------------------------------- Ahmidou Lyazidi Director | TD | CG artist http://vimeo.com/ahmidou/videos
