thanks everyone, all very good advice.
in the end it turned out to be something weird.
he disconnected from the workgroup, reconnected, and everything is fine now.

Modo is still quite avordable so this isn't meant to be any complain.
Just curious if there's more coming for the price increase.

I guess the price increase for new seats is because now includes mesh

No problem. I can fully appreciate where you are.
I remember stepping right out of Soft3D into Maya back in the late 90s setting
up my scene the same way I did in Soft3D. It was stressful. Nothing seemed to
make sense. I was generating move files at one point to export ascii transform

I think I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure I get the
cascade thing. Do you mean rebuild the hierarchy properly?

One thing would be to make sure the rigger doesn't change the pivots
from the data that he gets from you. Either that or you need to update
the assets that you're applying the cache on, to match.

Yes, make a new null for every position/pivot offset you need. Leave the actual

Null_position_offset
Null_Rotate

I get the idea, thanks. So to fix this I will have to build a new rig where
locators are translated and then parented!?
Is there no way to get proper world positions for pivots that are moved the
way you described?

Right - I guess I will have to bug our Maya artist for this one.
Thanks Joey.

Yeah, unfortunately you have to build your initial rig to insure that all
rotate or scale pivots remain 1:1. You can use minimal null hierarchy to
accomplish this. The idea is that if you leave Maya, it has to be prepped in a
way that prevents the “Maya paradigm” from clubbing it. You learn
I do concur on the sheer insanity bit - total madness. When I think of the
countless hours I have wasted on this gem trying to fix pivots so I could
get proper subframe positions/rotations for various purposes my mind goes
numb. You would think that Maya would reinterpret the numbers for export to

Hi all,
I'm doing a bit of RnD and I came up with a solution which works, but I
would like to improve.
What I'm doing is transfering the envelope weights between two different
characters using the joints to create the alignment between them. The
alignment is done using a simple python script,
Yup even with the new price point, it’s still pretty low.
I just checked Cinema 4D Studio(which is the one with everything in it) and
it’s 3 695$.
Quite a difference from 1 799$ for Modo 901
Also, The Foundry is clever… they’re stretching their teasers and hyping the
product… I wouldn’t be
Fxguide.com has some additional feature previews. Faster rendering and less

Are your locator pivots at zero local to the pivot geometry? Or have you
modified them in some way?

Yea would say the same as Eric. Try using Alembic instead.

Hi all,
Just a quick off topic note that we've recently added high quality PBR
to Clara.io's real-time viewport as well as adding post effects to our
viewer.
You can now craft results in the viewport that look like this (DOF,
bloom, pbr, clear coat, fresnel, area lights, etc.):
Are you applying a cache to existing geometry in Softimage or are you
pulling geometry and point / transform caches in?

I am not familiar with Maya - an offsite Maya artist rigged and animated
this, but when I look in Maya and select a child node which is clearly
offset in space from its parent, only preselected SRT values are visible in
the panel on the right, and they say zero for x and y for instance when the
Alembic does the same thing - all pivots at the parent pivot.
