Fantastic Alan, thanks so much for that! Strangely we had frozen all our operators, hopefully it won't happen again and we can put it down to hobgoblins or somesuch ; )

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 no thing 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.
