Re: Questions about PPGs

[kenny wood]

There is a command to get a hook to the ppg but I can't remember what it
was.
It's clearly explained in Raphael fragapanes technical direction course.

Re: Material change crashes XSI

[kenny wood]

My train of thought is in this direction already.I think it is time to move
the rendering part of my workflow to Houdini.

I just wish they would polish up the modeling part of houdini as its almost
there for production.

Haha ok . I'll turn off auto update on the region .
I just thought it might have been a config setting or something .

Thanks for the quick response

Material change crashes XSI

[kenny wood]

Hi

Im wondering if anyone else is having this problem and if there is a
solution

I have a crashing problem using the viewport region (and preview) render in
both Redshift and Arnold renderers.
Everything works fine apart from if I assign a new material while the
region render is on it just hangs xsi.

Anyone know of a workaround ?

Re: I'm lost / Which Software fills the void / help!?

[kenny wood]

I asked this question myself . After starting to use maya for a year after
a 10 year break .I dumped it and went back to xsi...nothing else comes
close overall as a generalist tool .
If you don't have to use anything else then don't...unless a job requires
you to know another tool .
