it could not be ported to other characters once built.
After seeing the data with my own eyes, I don’t understand why on scene load
Softimage can’t report the name of the missing shader instead of spitting out
the CLSID / GUID. The shader name is clearly stored with the CLSID.

UpdatePlugins() only rescans plugins in workgroups, as does
Application.RescanWorkgroups(), so I wouldn't expect those to work.
Are you creating your projects via Application.CreateProject2()? Have you
tried Application.ActiveProject3? you should be able to kick Softimage that
way.

of Projects all named xsi which isn't
very helpful. :-)
Hacking the xsiproject file does what it's supposed to, so the project list
shows sequence_shot even though the project directory is named xsi.
It's just it only updates after restarting Soft.

Calling me out to respond will not close the vault ;-)
I'll respond later as there's an old document I have to dig up out of my own
vaults I want to reference that is fully relevant to this red document, and
probably lead to it's creation.

Animation mixer.
Store each constraint in a mixersource and place onto the timeline as a
mixerclip with parent clip active so it spans the entire timeline.
Your customparamset has sliders, one per constraint, which drive the influence
of each mixerclip.
Supports scrubbing and whatever else
Define one direction. As in, what is your point of reference for defining the
direction?

Subject: select
the subcurves, then a script to put a new thin tube along each
curve...but now I'm tripling the amount of original curves and wondering if
there's a better way to generate this kind of wire mesh.

I wrote an update command which gets triggered on end scene open, or end file
import.
In essence the command scans the scene for custom properties and compares a
'version' parameter in the property with the version of the plugin installed in
the user's workgroup(s). If the version of the
