It's funny. There always seemed to be two kind of people. The ones that prefer text buttons and the ones that prefer icon style. Of course all softimagers prefer text :) It's just so much clearer what a certain function does. It's also much more efficient and faster when you teach people:
"click on path... then click on set path". "ahh! nice, thank you!" (student learned a new thing in a second) I would have gone crazy if I had to tell them instead: "click on the button that looks like an uhm... elephant with the... red quare in it" ... "What button, you mean the red ant inside a triangle?" "No. The button below the green thingy next to the uhm... the... the... blue dotted triangle!" .... "you mean the button with that uhm... blu turtle? "No. the button here"! (touching the screen/ grabbing the mouse) "This button right here!" "but that doesn't look like an elephant!" :) sven -----Original Message----- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Christoph Muetze Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 7:27 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: YOUR TOP 5 Here is my top 5: 1) workflow speed & efficiency 2) ability to overcome most problems without scripting or plugins 3) non destructive workflow: there are almost no "point of no returns" in Softimage 4) text based buttons (huge plus if you suffer from certain forms of visual agnosia) 5) ICE Cheers!
