Yes, you're absolutely right

Sure

Wow

Now switch your Viewport to quad. Or tear the outliner off and dock it beside the AE. Docking doesn't mean switching a panel to a view. Also you don't have two instances of the outliner. You have one instance with two halfes of an outliner. You can't have two floating outliner. That's a fact. Ok :)

Maybe

yup, 3+ years

Although... I do not understand, why you are not tackling the most pressing issues first: <picture of small annoying things forum> I am not.. sure.. what you mean here. (Small Annoying Things by definition aren't "pressing") If you mean, why aren't "you" working on the small ann...

Nice job

So I cannot make any comment anymore that has a hint of ad in it? I was reacting to a statement of another member and I think it was completely valid to point that out. It is something everyone here knows. I didn't bring it up. If you don't like what I have to say, feel free to ignore it, but don't...

It's kind of ironic indeed that they keep shoving new things in on top of the old stuff. I would have expected an open source app to be always on top of things.... Well we know that procedure well from your employer don't we? And I expect commercial software to be on top of things even more and it ...

Interesting how nobody took up the gauntlet to open the second installment of this challenge. Sort of proves my point, I'm afraid... ;) I dont think you're correct here. Not many people at all (IMHO) model in softimage - period. Why start now, even for a 90 minute challenge when you can work so muc...

Microsoft wants to Crush, Linux and Apple ?

please.

Because no matter how useful people think it may be, it can set an unrealistic expectation. I wouldn't worry about that too much, most of us know full well what to realistically expect of Softimage. So we all would expect from Softimage that it shouldn't be a crap like Maya;) What is this supposed ...

Would like open subdiv integration as well as ptex in the viewport.

I think 3delight is a great renderer once you learn to read and write rsl so you can make an ubershader. Then, you can keep going and make a custom display driver and implement "relighting" so you can only rerender parts that have changed instead of the whole image without having to go out...

Thanks for the replies, guys. I re-wrote some and made it so that it would zero all the weights before applying the new ones. In fact, Im certain that because I didnt do this before, I was just getting the same linear envelope that I initially set. Im also looking into setting values more accurately...
