And it happened again. The scene was saved successfully, I was working on the scene over an hour or so, and I had to restart SI, and the scene is unable to load...I tried with a fresh new install, in vain. Thanks god, it was nothing very important It'd be nice to have a scene diagnostic tool, that tries to load the scene, and report any issues, in normal format, like Object %objectname% has issues with %description of the issue%
Chris, I'll send the scene on Monday! Tear it apart...this is more annoying than a crash...

Thanks Chris! I´ll see if I can set up a generic repro scene on the weekend or on Monday. At least for the Regularize after Unfold thing. Regarding *.scn files not opening, I´m lucky enough to only have that on very rare occasions with third party render engines but usually merging scenes solved this sofar. I tend to use vanilla installs (except for the renderer) btw, since any shop you end up freelancing at will most likely not have that precious tool/plugin/script you´ve built your workflows around anyway... It´s hard enough to remember I use the Maya mouse button mappings for ZOOM/PAN/ETC but still the XSI keymapping... Always makes you look stupid when trying to navigate on another guys machine Cheers, tim On 06.07.2012 14:55, Chris Chia wrote: > Hi Tim, > Just fyi, we treat every SI crash very seriously.
