That's right. I knew it was Francois or Francis but couldn't remember his last 
name.

P.S. Don't Google his name at work because you will get a bunch of erotic 
animated GIFs made by someone with the same name. :-O

The volume deform was inspired by Grabber and the guy behind Grabber (who 
was working at Softimage at the time and whose name I can't remember) was 
supportive of our effort to replicate his plugin in XSI.

The company name was spelled Konshus IIRC. The design of XSI’s Volume Deformer 
was indeed based on their Grabber plugin for SI|3D. Konshus also made a 
sculpting tool called Smither (I think) and maybe another tool.

Ah yes the Grabber! It became the Volume Deform in XSI. I thought it worked 
better as a modeling tool in soft, but was a better deform tool in XSI.

Conscious also made the MetaMesh plugin if my memory serves me well. It was an 
implementation of subd in Soft|3D.

Hey list,

a demo by Chinny and he's talking about some plugins. I remember many of them, 
like PhoenixTools, Arete and the Ray Rebels stuff but I never heard of 
"Conscious". They developed a plugin called Grabber, that seems it was 
incorporated in XSI later on, as "Volume Deform". Ha, didn't know that!
Quite entertaining demo btw. Great foleys ;)

Re: SI|3D Flashback

[Dan Yargici]

One of my favourite underrated but powerful tools back in the day was
+Replace. It was one of the Pison tools I think.  It just let you swap out
objects' geometry but keep all their parameters. It felt like magic when I
discovered it. Stupid really looking back. Wasn't Halfdan originally one of
the developers at Pison?

I remember watching chinny do that plunger/quickstretch demo live at the CG
expo they used to put on at Wembley. It really stuck with me for some
reason. He kept saying "spiff spaff spoof". I can still picture it vividly.
