Hi! I agree with you for the fact that's duplicated geo is too heavy. By splitting the compound in 2 part (modeling and simulation stack) i have been able to go up to 5k but it took around 5 min to process the modeling part which is not fast enough for what we need here. However, once it

Hello list! I?m planing the SOFTIMAGE|UeberTage 2012 event this year again. I?m trying to get a nice lineup together with making ofs and new developments around our good old SOFTIMAGE. Currently I?m getting the sponsors together to finance our event this year. I?m on a good way, so far ;-)

Sounds like a good idea! This event deserves a broader audience. I think it won't be a problem for the german speakers to switch to english, and that's actually all that is needed to go international. Thanks and best regards, Eugen On Tue, 24 Apr 2012 20:19:42 +0200, Rob Wuijster
