I used it just today. Very handy for retopo, if you can't rely entirely on the 'texture swimming' function to retain the original projection. Working on a duplicate of the original mesh, remodel it in any way, even freeze it and have an interactive reprojection of the base meshs UVs. I love XSI…:)

Must've been around XSI 5 or 6. On 18 June 2017 at 22:29, Sven Constable <sixsi_l...@imagefront.de> wrote: btw. I also checked with version 2.02 aaand it's not in there. So you're right, XSI never had that functionality.

It was the only geometry type available in XSI 1.0, and some enhancements were implemented in XSI v3.x, but NURBS development was more or less abandoned after that. GATOR wasn't introduced until XSI v5.0 Scripting your own NURBS to polygon mesh converter with texture coordinates isn't difficult. You can think of a NURBS surface as a deformed grid comprised of 4-sided polygons, and the Texture UVW coordinates are guaranteed to be contiguous. If you build the geometry correctly, transferring texture UVW coordinates is practically copy/paste. Things only get complex if trim curves are involved.

My first thought was it was replaced by gator and therefore deprecated. Out of curiosity I checked from version 2011, 7.01, 6.02 down to 4.0. It's not in there, even 4.0 didn't had gator. Must be replaced in an earlier version. I wonder why. Sven ------ Softimage Mailing List.
