Olivier, you can always have a look at this tutorial. http://vimeo.com/50751483 You need emTopolizer and the workflow is a bit convoluted, but it's true you can work faster this way.

Referenced models crashing Softimage
I sent this yesterday but it didn't turn up yet, so I am reposting. Apologies if it results in doubleposting. Through time I have used Referenced models quite a bit so I know more than the basics of how to use them, but with my current project I have run in to a problem. I have 5 different referenced models where res1 is a full resolution model and res2 is a proxy model which loads an Arnold standin. My problem is that when I change resolution on all 5 models Softimage crashes. If I take them one at a time and change resolution, it works for the first four, but the fifth crashes Softimage. I have changed order and it seems it is not one particular model which causes the crash - it is just the fifth I chose to change. I have tried changing it in the scntoc file too which also causes a crash. I am suspecting some sort of problem with the delta, but I can't see how it could have become corrupted - I have pose constrained a null in the ref model to an animated null in the scene, and the constrained null is the same in each resolution of the ref model. The other thing could be the reference switch does somehow not like the Arnold property with a standin path, but why then only on the last resolution switch? Do any of you with ref model experience have an inkling of an idea about what might cause this? Best Morten

Re: Continued use of Softimage question
Great thread and great to see everyone hanging on! We're very small and I still just use Soft mostly. I too love and use Redshift for everything. I just can't see anything that comes close in terms of flexibility and speed. We mostly do commercial and marketing stuff. No time for pipeline development...just jumping in and getting dirty fast. I need passes and rely heavily on the operator stack and overrides. The only challenge I have is whenever I need people in Soft it's a very small pool. Luckily most of my needs are modeling so I don't care what they use but a few times I've needed a Soft user and my list is much smaller than it used to be.

Perhaps also for studios doing stereoscopic productions? For the VR environment, the bit we see, it looks like a road leading to a toy castle in a sunny room. Did you light, surface, and perhaps bake everything in soft? or was material application done in UE? For clip of the event itself, as mentioned we only got a glimpse of the kids reaction which was indeed very short but apparently very sweet :) Congratz!

Re: Pretty OT :)
I never tried a Rift yet, but one of my colleges at MPC showed me a VR device which was actually just a harness that housed his phone together with an app (using the phone's display, audio accelerometer), and I found it surprisingly immersive and fluid and also hirez (must depend on the phone I guess) And I don't know the price of that harness/app, but couldn't that be a very cost-effective solution? Perhaps also for studios doing stereoscopic productions? For the VR environment, the bit we see, it looks like a road leading to a toy castle in a sunny room. Did you light, surface, and perhaps bake everything in soft? or was material application done in UE? For clip of the event itself, as mentioned we only got a glimpse of the kids reaction which was indeed very short but apparently very sweet :) Congratz!

I need to take a logo, break it into individual faces and animate them around separately. Should be easy enough, but I can't think how. I've broken the object up using DisconnectComponent. So what's the easiest way to simply explode the faces, or animate them in some interesting way? This will be a logo forming together, so just some basic Mograph type animation.

Re: Pretty OT :)
Hi Eric, at that moment you can see the unreal engine menues :) since i couldnt compile it because of 4.82 version errors, so i decided to play from the editor :s the argentinian way jejejejj... For being a project done by 3 people on free time we were pretty happy the result. Leendert it would be great to share what we have done, i'm sending you an email. Francisco.
