Absolutley Siew. Thx for the link to the script. I'll take a look at
it. I already scripted something to help with the process, but it is
still lacking some functionality.
Cheers!

I know, I wasn't trying to say your demo was unfair! DDD: It's
more just in case you wanted a one-click solution with another
approach instead of going through an instance copy so that you
don't have to go through the trouble in Maya...out of the box
I completely agree, XSI has a lot more in-built stuff for it
to get things done than Maya. But if you are stuck with Maya,
then sometimes there is no choice when you are tight on
deadlines and no time to do some really cool R&D...using other
people's scripts is the only feasible solution I know. >_<
(Back to lurking)

Thanks Sebastien.
Siew, that is the thing with Maya scripts, scripts,
scripts... You can script Softimage the same and you will
have the one button solution. But again you need someone to
tell you that there is a script you can download. My
comparison is one against the other out of the box.

Hi, just wanted to respond about the 'doritos' state hack
since I was actually looking for a way to do this in XSI
based off the exact same thing I found out in Maya first:
assuming you want any node to ride with the deformation
of a polygon mesh in Maya, you can use this script by
Erick Miller called hyperRealMeshParent to automate the
process without having to create a second mesh like in
XSI; just select your mesh, your cluster/softMod and fire...
http://www.terencejacobson.com/hyperRealMeshParent.mel
It will allow for exactly the same effect through the
basic concept of a rivet script but a little more
souped-up since it uses an actual xform matrix...thus no
silly rotation flipping issues anymore with a more
conventional follicle rivet script! :D Also saves a bit
of processing since you don't have to have an extra
instance of your mesh being calculated...
Hope this helps anyone who's stuck working in Maya!
Yours sincerely,
Siew Yi Liang

Lol was not expecting this, nice comparison Emilio, i
remember seeing a much simpler example when i was just
starting out in 3Ds max, it was a method comparison
between max and maya on how to create 3d animated
strokes, essentially how to make a mesh follow and be
deformed by a curve, this tutorial was split into 5 parts
Method in max = 3 mins (half a part).
method in maya = 28 mins (4 and a half parts).
here is the link :P

this can of course be done in SI and is as fast if not
quicker then the Max method.

That is the way at least for me, it is in real days
work.
In my case, that is why I prefer Softimage over Maya
on a daily basis. Glad you liked it.
Cheers!

nice comparison, softimage seems a lot friendly
than maya.

I did this video without being biased
towards Softimage or against Maya.
The same thing, the same objects, the same
end result.
I don't say which one is better or worst.
Just a straight comparison.
23 min lenght in case you are interested in
watching. But if you don't I will save you time.
1 third of the video is Softimage and the
other 2 thirds are Maya.
A couple of mistakes here and there in both
apps as usual when you are working, and not
doing a tutorial or trying to show off.
