Interesting list of gotchas, thanks for sharing!
To my surprise ICE and reference models seem to play nicely. I have close
to a thousand referenced pointclouds that are dependent on each others and
so far it's stable. I don't think I could keep up with the complexity of
the shots without a way to
If you're doing a simulation, you wanna make sure your Bend or whatever
deformer operator is in the POST-SIMULATION stack.
When you have a Simulation stack marker anything under Animation only
evaluates on the first frame.

I dunno, I feel like saying 'What's the point in even asking for
something unless it has to do with ICE?' It's a good thing XSI was as
mature as it was prior to the AD buyout. Call me a Debbie Downer.

Been searching around for methods to take a polymesh where every poly has
been disconnected and do some random rotation and scaling based on
proximity to a mesh or inside a null, etc. to get a nice offset effect.
Any suggestions? I don't really need a particle method unless its the
only option.
I think you hit the nail on the head there. Will do more testing. If I can
repro this should probably be logged as a bug.
Thanks!

On occasion, yes, but usually when the offloaded model is a dependency of
something else going on in the scene. Eg: the loaded scene content needs the
offloaded model for something.

We need DX11 support to author a game.
Our game has been DX11 for a while now. It would be nice to see our HLSL
shaders applied natively to the assets instead of having to be wrapped inside
of OpenGL shaders where we lose some functionality because not all HLSL
features can be ported.

Thanks Matt, that's good to know.
To describe my problem more simply:
Offloaded references hang Softimage. Loaded references don't. That doesn't
make much sense does it?
Did you experience something similar?

They simplified considerably the problem in Maya DX11: they created one big

Models have additional metadata which force additional validation checks and

Hi list,
I have a scene with ~200 reference models offloaded via the scntoc.
The scene opens relatively quick but as soon as I unroll the hierachy
containing all the reference models (in the explorer), Softimage stops
responding.
If I open the same scene without modifying the scntoc, the scene ta

I think what Eric meant, is that the video is actually showing 95% of the
guys work to model and texture a character. And five percent is due to
viewport. But the video pretends an inverse ratio of these capabilities.

I tend to agree with Luc-Eric.
It sure is nice to see the displacement in the viewport, but it wouldn't

Besides, the video is a little misleading because we hav

Hello Tim,
The only issue that I found was with the xml templates. You need to

Reload Gear_mc and re-export the guide to an xml template.

Haha, I'm trying. Been banging my head against my desk for the past few
days not understanding what could be going wrong. My Matrix3 class
method for multiplying is doing some really wonky stuff. Like reseting
the matrix values to Identity if used in another multiply operation...
makes no sense
Jeez, Eric! Sort it out!
