given the insidious behaviour of FaceRobot, this should really be given some thought for the future.
In every studio I went since FaceRobot exists, it has been perceived as something akin to a virus, spontaneously messing around and infiltrating production scenes. Every single production, some time is spent to keep it out reliably and do some housekeeping after it reared its ugly head. I think many people don’t want anything to do with it because of this. It’s the obnoxious child that everyone dislikes. Surely it could be taught more appropriate out of the box behaviour? I mean, if ICE was acting like that, people would be on the barricades, raiding what’s left of Softimage headquarters.

Normally just disabling facerobot (whilst switched to softimage layout) and then saving (probably a new version is safer) tends to get rid of it. Also try unloading it in your workgroups and deleting the custom property too. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2013 17:48:08 -0400 Subject: Re: FaceRobot From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Don't you have to disable Face Robot in the scene? http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=15241146&linkID=12544120 On Sat, Oct 26, 2013 at 5:31 PM, Michael Heberlein <[email protected]> wrote: If deleting the property is enough, you could do this in an "siOnBeginSceneSave[As]" event.

If not: We batched all infected scenes: opening it, disabling facerobot by deleting the facerobot custom property, saving and closing it. voila. I recall, that my first approach was also fiddeling with the workgroup, but with not much success. Good luck ! 2013/10/26 Ognjen Vukovic <[email protected]> I was considering it but we are in the middle of a project, what are the chances it will botch something up?

We are having a awesome time as someone in the early phases of the project had it open somewhere in their scene and now it has reared its ugly tentacles into the whole project, literally every model, scene and project have been infected, in all this chaos i am sure i even saw it initialize once when someone opened up after effects... Is there a way to exorcise face robot from this project without offering a sacrifice to Cthulhu? Thanks in advance, Ogi.
