Has .pc2 support been removed from the Cache on File node?

[Dan Yargici]

Hi there,

Would I be right in thinking that .pc2 file support has been removed from
the Cache on File node?

If that really is the case, why?  I can't imagine a single scenario where
removing this functionality would anything other than detrimental!

Could anyone confirm this?  Seems to have gone AWOL since v2014...

I know of Alok's compound (which is very cool) however this only supports
reading.

For reasons of practicality that I won't go into, I want to avoid the Cache
Manager and Environment caching...

I got the following from Eric concerning the emRoads tool crashing in 2015


Hi Phil,

the exact cause of the crash is the following:

These two functions crash in Softimage 2015 and Softimage 2015 SP1:
X3DObject::.GetProperties().Find()
X3DObject::GetPropertyFromName()

The above functions are needed by the roads tool to find and read the road 
parameters.


Best,

Smooth operator on curves

[Eric Turman]

Even though this is so simple and many of you may know that Soft can do
this, until this afternoon, I had a reason to try this...I needed to smooth
out a curve that I trace the points and midpoints of a poly surface
from. My first Softimage instinct was to try a smooth operator on the
curve. True to form Softimage handled it without any issues and the result
was beautiful. I didn't have to look for a smooth curves vs. smooth
polygons or any other nonsensical term like curve-blast or turbo-spliner.
I'm very grateful that I still get to use Soft every day.

Cheers,
-=Eric

Picture that on modo...
(Modo has found an error, report this for another spX release) and so on
and so forth.

XSI keeps up the work. And it´s time the list makes an official image
"patch" so all credits will point to
"Easily made with softimage; but now it´s been discontinued." graphic sign.

I saw a thread long ago. What about that one?
Cheers.
