I would actually really really like that, Luc-Eric. We'll be transitioning to Maya here and we'll need some help translating certain workflows. For example... set dressing by ICE-scattering instances of plants everywhere... Stuff like that... Not so much the 'where's the Inset tool' but more

Maya feature request from Softimage users

Hey guys... What do you want to see added to Maya ? Autodesk is saying they will add Softimage features to the other packages... What is that ? As a Rigger, here is what I will miss the most - Gator - ICE : Especially to create custom deformers - Proper weights painting tools - Weights Editor !
