Hmm I thought I got this to work last night.. But if I change the Backup key, it makes the new dir, but still creates a 'Backup' dir and saves a backup in there.. Can I stop that? Simon Reeves Freelance 3D VFX Artist London, UK *email: si...@simonreeves.com* *website:

Set the Scene Backups value to 0 in your prefs? We have the same problem here actually. Soft just insists on creating a Backup directory if a backup is generated. It has to put it somewhere, so I guess the only way to stop it is to not have it generate backups in the first place, and create

In our case, we have to make our own backup system anyway, regardless of what Soft is doing, simply because we want that level of control, since we want our backups to be appropriate the assets or shots they pertain to. -Tim On 2/27/2013 9:28 AM, Simon Reeves wrote: True, maybe not ideal, but

Hi The default project folders are specified in the registry http://xsisupport.com/2009/07/29/changing-the-default-project-folders/ You could change stuff in the registry, but maybe you would prefer to have a plugin/event/addon that does that for you. On 13/12/2012 10:30 AM, Gustavo Eggert

One of the things that I always do, when I save scenes is to check the box Copy External Files under Project. I do this knowing that models and textures, etc. will be duplicated, but it allows for total portability of the Softimage database files. I even do my composites in After Effects and save

Hi Nick, That's awesome you're moving to Softimage! As a polite waiter would say, Excellent choice, sir. I haven't experienced that post-reference UV creation deal you're getting. I would probably check (like Eric pointed out) that you've frozen your projections, particularly the Unfold op in
