Sorry I don't get it. What's the punchline?

[McNistor]

There was actual content there, but now it seems it's an empty page.

edit: now it's working again. I say gremlins.

Lot's of small fixes to ease artist lives, the poor caretakers in Singapore deserve respect.

It's not disrespect to the devs. They don't call the shots.

[Bullit]

Oh they call, plus they can make crap, nothing, put bugs and make a mess.

I don't buy this now mantra that every dev. is a nice guy while management is guilty. For a start many of management were former dev.

[El Burritoh]

Well whatever... I'm just not impressed with the feature set in 2015. Personal opinion.

[missingkey]

Your not alone. That shit is at best, laughable.

[myara]

That should be a free SP, not a new version. I like the backup option though.

What?! The 'tab' stuff and general ICE UI enhancements sound really nice!

And this:

Displaying Softimage on a single screen
Y
ou can set the new
XSI_SINGLE_SCREEN
environment variable to display
Softimage in the primar
y monitor
, even when you use the dual screen set up

Whoever was responsible for that!

Actually it doesn't read that bad. A lot of the little things that always made xsi special.
A little farewell present...

[Superpositivo]

I thought the same.
Nothing that "WOW", but many little things that just are nice everyday.

I hope the new Map port in Syflex works as expected. Because the actual one is a little bit tricky in painting weights for the cloth.
Also MR progressive rendering. It's useful having it. Sure it lowers the weight of rendering setup.

[ace63]

Not too bad...

[mattmos]

Its a shame about the timing of this, because what's in the release is actually very useful stuff, really looking forward to it:

alembic
improved syflex
save backup
ice tree muting finally!
tab key functionality in ice.
re-ordering node inputs.
mr 3.12 (well, until redshift does volumes)
profile curve editor key values

I'm sorry I still don't understand this feature. Can somebody please explain ?

Soft ALWAYS starts on 2 monitors, before 'giving back' the second after the UI is fully there. With this you can override it.
