I have models that are reading fine for days then suddenly out of nowhere
it is
corrupted upon opening a saved scene. It's almost as if the corruption is
occurring
upon the previous scene save.
Yes, that is exactly *one* of the bugs. XSI 6.x, Softimage 2010, Softimage
2011, and Softimage 2012 are quite afflicted with this problem.
The aggravating part about the bug is it will develop during a session, but
you won't see the effects of the bug until you open the scene in a new
session. That is, you can save multiple times during a session and all
those scenes will not display the bug until you quit Softimage then restart
the application and try to open those scenes. Often not until another
windows session on another calendar day. Most of the artists bitten by this
bug didn't see the problem until the following morning after a day's work.
Drove me bats tracking that one down and trying to replicate it. I found it
more pronounced on scenes using ICE, which is one reason why I didn't deploy
it's use in production on Wildstar.

Whatever this is, it's just insidious. I have models that are reading fine
for days then suddenly out of nowhere it is corrupted upon opening a saved
scene. It's almost as if the corruption is occurring upon the previous scene
save. I can go back to the scene save prior and compare the edges or
vertices or poly that are reported bad and in the prior save they are
different components than the ones being reported corrupt in the current
scene. At least they are in different places on the geometry.
A lot of these models do have user normal clusters but that's all as far as
clusters go. I guess I'll try to hunt them all down and delete them. The
worst offenders weren't created in SI and I have no pedigree on what they
were made in but it's clear that SI can't handle them safely.
