Maybe Steven - but our animators were on horrible deadlines at that time so could not spare the time to re-open scenes, we had to take a decision to stick with it and the relative unknown or drop them and work around it. I must say doing it without ref models has been better in some ways, we are on such tight deadlines here that departments are running concurrently - we had rigging still deep in dev work when full on animation started, so had no good testing period and had big changes on rigs that would have given the animators more than grey hairs if they had suddenly had a reference update that broke a lot of things. In fact they most likely would have lynched me - LOL! So we have some nice tools that do updating - Simon had a big part in the start of those tools.
