Graham, That might be true, but there was a time when the maya list server was every bit as active and helpful. It never recovered from the closing, for whatever reason it wasn't properly switched over to the highend list server, and lost many participants. I would like to see it regain it former usefulness.

Thank you very much, I would not have thought of looking there. Now I can stop pouring over the internet looking for a solution and get back to work ;) It is odd that this didn't come up in any Google searches. Thanks again Ben :) I'm so glad that this list is still alive. On Sun, Apr 20, 2014 at 12:44 PM, Ben Barker <[email protected]> wrote: multiplyDivide node can do power.

Sure I could roll my own in C++ if my C++ code-fu was strong enough or use one of the plugins that have already been compiled. The problems are: 1) I can not require a client to figure out how to install a plugin in order for a rig to work 2) None of these plugins that I can find have been compiled for Maya 2015 Maya's expressions are too slow to evaluate. Does anyone have any suggestions of how I can get around this in the node editor without resorting to a plugin? I swear, the "brilliant" mastermind behind EOLing Softimage deserves several sharp kicks in the yarbles >.< -=Eric -- -=T=- -- -=T=-
