Much like Maya users picking up XSI and bitching about the schematic being inferior to the HG for scene management (it is), it's a classic thing for XSI users to bitch about the outliner being inferior to the explorer (it is). For hierarchy management the HG is a better place to be by a long shot.
Maya isn't XSI, it differs so fundamentally in its approach to the scene that the outliner will simply never be as good as the explorer, even if they were to massively revamp it. Give the HG a try for hierarchy shuffling. On Sat, Mar 8, 2014 at 5:49 AM, Emilio Hernandez <[email protected]> wrote: > This is the kind of things...
