Sorry I arrived so late to the conversation… Regarding the CHOPs implementation, I feel it is a great approach although it is harder to see than in XSI, no doubt. Nevertheless promotes modular rigging and given it is a single processing engine what you have, the ability to do interesting things like filtering the signal opens quite a few new possibilities.
I would love the shelf toolset defaults to be better, and may be this is something I should have already highlighted but I have been very busy.. nevertheless it is worth to have a more predictable behaviour. May be I will prepare a few examples on how to use them… mmm.. cheers jb > On 6 Nov 2017, at 21:22, Anto Matkovic <a...@matkovic.com> wrote: > > If engine does not 'breathing', no one in TD *position* would be able to > change things, significantly.
