I also came from LW. Not showing the tut to hint you to use it. Just that there might be little pieces that aid your own process.
They are making a new geometry engine in Layout, to be able to have access to mesh elements, etc. But I just can't... I dunno... XSI is just a very rational environment to work in, I think, and LW Layout is missing things like a "simple" Undo... I say simple in quotes because for them won't be that simple to implement. I still use LW for simple things that need to go out fast. It's very good at that. But as complexity and management requirements rise, so does the amount of pain, workarounds and irrationality which I moved away from. I'm still regular in the forums, skype chat, etc, but more like an aiding spectator waiting for it to go in a direction that interests me. Good luck with the unfolding :) On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 1:18 PM, Matt Morris <matt...@gmail.com> wrote: > https://blog.lightwave3d.com/2015/12/unified-mesh-system-part-2/ > > And they're adding a deformation stack... > > On 8 January 2016 at 13:13, Olivier Jeannel <facialdel...@gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Did they ? >> >> On Fri, Jan 8, 2016 at 2:11 PM, Matt Morris <matt...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Looks like they're finally unifying modeller and layout... >>> >>> On 8 January 2016 at 12:58, Olivier Jeannel <facialdel...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>>> Doh...
