Plenty people manage without or with primitive copy and paste macro style hacks and downloads, it's not strictly necessary. It is true though that while in XSI it's a nice skill to have but not strictly necessary for most trivial talks, Maya has some areas convoluted enough that you really want to hook a few bits together or automate some clicks to not go insane. Again, it's not strictly necessary, don't worry, it just makes a more appreciable difference at a much earlier parts of the toolset you've come to take for granted in Soft. No tool out there, sadly, matches that level of completeness without sacrificing power, and likely none ever will until the game will have changed considerably and software and process will be different.
XSI was unarguably the last real end to end app. On 20 Mar 2014 23:43, "Greg Punchatz" <[email protected]> wrote: > "Just learn to script" > > It's not that easy for every one... > > My brain simply does not work that way, I would rather keep polishing my > art skills and learn all the amazing new painting tools than learn to > script.
