Uh... interesting bug, I've just discovered. I remembered freezing an implicit object was losing the Implicit property. But it seems is not like that anymore. To prevent this problem Softimage simply doesn't let you freeze the object. The bug is (if it is a bug as I think it is) after trying to freeze the sphere in Implicit mode and getting the sphere back to explicit it removes the property, but it's impossibile to freeze the object in anyway, and removing the projection it removes the object, too. Softimage still thinks the object is in Implicit mode, without showing the implicit UV. Isn't it weird? SI 2014.
