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 them. That said, there are a number of refmodel woes (though nothing catastrophic provided you're aware of them in advance) and I have a big writeup on the common problems here: http://darkvertex.com/wp/2010/02/21/clean-softimage-deltas/ Cheers, -- Alan On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 9:07 PM, Nick Angus <n...@altvfx.com> wrote: > Hi Folks, > > > > I am slowly but surely porting my facility over from Maya to XSI, it will be > a tricky process as I traverse the pro’s and cons (many more pros of > course!) > > Our directory structure is currently broken into two categories, Global and > Shots.
