I'm surprised nobody noticed the 90 day temp licenses are only offered for 3DSMax and Maya, not Softimage.

I did find an issue at a workplace, where they got disconnected. A mesh error preceded the loss of the foot roll, but I was not able to track down which mesh was the problem. The foot roll was just a link with.. so not sure what would have destroyed it.

Also User_Normals are on all the meshes of her. Remove to speed up the character. Just an FYI not a rig critique. Thanks for rigging this stuff up Adam. Really appreciate the efforts. -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 1:35 PM, Adam Sale <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: those tangent ops are deadly. There is an option you can turn on in the shaded view that allows you to keep the tangents, Under display options, in the shaded mode area, set the vertex color option to 'Never show' ( use material). I think it better to keep the op as its needed for the normal map for rendering. On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 10:21 AM, Jeremie Passerin <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: he he ! So yeah, I found out. there is a weightmap called tangent with a operator called TangentOp. When you delete that it's much much faster !

I think when I get a chance, I will have to provide updates to the rigs based on any feedback I receieve. I can use my blog to do so.

I want them to have a look and check if there anything we don't have in our rigs that we could add ;-) The Dave character works fine in Wireframe or HiddenLineRemoval. for me it's really just the shaded mode that is slow. It comes with a rainbow shader that I suspect is the cause of the slow down. I only played with the rigs for 2 minutes so far and I didn't break them .. so that's a good sign ;-) Jeremie On 20 February 2013 09:52, Adam Sale <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I did the rigs over a couple of weeks between my full time gigs. The meshes came from 3ds max I believe and were a mess when I first got them. Too many pieces, shapes that didn't work in Softimage, scale issues. I pretty much had to take them down to bare mesh and start from scratch. They have not been fully tested as there was no time or animators available to put them through their paces. Still, they should be robust enough. Originally the meshes had tangent properties on them that were slowing them down something awful, but I had toasted them to increase performance. The Dave character didn't seem to have issues at the time I uploaded him, though if its something that others notice as well I can have a look.

Is that me or the Dave character is extremely slow in shaded mode ?
