So, you tested on other workstation and didn't work on none of them? This is really strange... Also the Analyzer problem without the Poses is reeeeeeally strange...
I don't know, as described in my previous post I had only the Retargeter problem which was fixed with a couple of uninstall-reinstall What I suggest you to do is to ask ( if you didn't do that ) the previous version of both Analyzer and Retargeter in order to see if its a release problem or is just that on your machine it doesn't work at all Regarding the installation on the default facroty of Softimage I just installed it as it was, I didn't make any changes to the path or anything else, so I can't helop you a lot on that Anyway its a great software, so I really hope you'll find a solution to those problems, because its really worthed the price 2014/1/17 Nuno Conceicao <[email protected]> > Hi Nicolas > Notice the screen grab link i sent of the expression module?
