Um....I don't think your assessment is correct. The SDK is single threaded, but in this context ICE is too. Past tests have shown that ICE performs ~30% slower than the SDK in single threaded tasks because of the additional overhead with nodes/tree evaluation. If you can parallelize the task, then the game changes, but with all the issues you've run into, that's not likely to happen.
You don't have to write the operator in C++. Scripted operator will also work and be less hassle. In fact, you could've been done with it already. If you have to deliver, the amount of time it takes to find the ICE workaround (and a reliable one) will exceed the amount of time it would've taken to write the operator using the standard SDK. do what you want.

To: Softimage Mailing List <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> Will do Matt, one day. Got that C++ plus course I referenced. Seems great. But now I have to deliver something x) I apologize if this is cringy for you!! Yes the bits you talk about are the most annoying for me, building the algorithms in straight up code is already a bit slower but the SDK part is going beyong solving the problem at hand many times, and these are usually handled for you with node. Hail nodes! :D I'll meet that C++ bipolar madame soon :) Was able to re-purpose "Curve Distance to Curve U" from Dual Curve Deform by Antton Tapani, to make my dual curve conform along curve length. Thanks everyone (!) for the inputs, they were helpful as what was requested of me kept updating! Here's the result so far: https://app.box.com/s/tcvzwph4b0j2jf48yqcuscg08lt17gtq Cheers Pedro ------ Softimage Mailing List.
