At SI start, i have problems with floating windows. The first opened have
sometimes no buttons and is frameless. Especially with the render preview.
When all floating windows are closed with the help of a script, the issue
is gone...

Latest NVidia driver is used. From SI2013-15.

RE: can I still get softimage?

[Derek Jenson]

FBX 2014 & 2015 are using version number 7.4 correct? But Softimage 2015 FBX 
export has been updated to (compiled against) the FBX 2015 SDK? Will this 
update make it to the AD Crosswalk download page at some point- 
https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-crosswalk.html
The setup .exe for 2015 (for Softimage) is absent from the list.

If there is still time to get some eyes on the FBX exporter, it would be great 
to have someone look at this old bug I submitted back in 2011. The short 
version is Softimage writes tangent data to the vertex colors data block and 
doesn't write vertex colors into the vertex colors block. Last I checked, no 
fix was made for Crosswalk 2014. I was communicating with Yanick about the 
problem in 2011... but a lot of seats changed places at AD, and this issue was 
never fixed.

Feel free to email me at email[at]derekjenson.com if you need test cases. Would 
be willing to test for a setup_Crosswalk_2015_windows.exe installer (linux 
too!). You can download my old test case here-

Actually Softimage 2015 is using FBX 2015.The export dialog only shows up to 
FBX 2014 because FBX 2015 is still based on the same file version as FBX 2014.

Hi Folks, 

How is everyone feeling about Windows 10?

I know some have had problems upgrading a live set-up from  Win 7 and 
things have gone a bit screwy.

How about a clean Win 10 install?

Here's hoping.

Another question- is FBX 2015 export/import absent from Softimage 2015? After 
some digging, it appears so. I do mostly interactive work, just trying to 
figure out what is included and what is not in 2015. Does SI 2015 ship with FBX 
2014?
