Anyway, I will ask you to please help me out filing this survey to try to understand if there is interest out there and how that should be put together. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JQTXZTY Thanks in advance.

However there are some really cool procedural modeling tools that I know miss when going back to softimage. The bad news is that you will need a second app to do most of your assets, but this could be any app c4d, maya, xsi, etc. On 30 July 2014 08:35, Sebastien Sterling <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Jordi Bears :) On 30 July 2014 08:32, Jordi Bares <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: No there is not, I discuss at the beginning the workflow in which I suggest you still use XSI for modelling or a combination of Zbrush and Topogun (or the likes) for a retopology approach as that is the normal workflow. :-/ Jordi Bares [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> On 29 Jul 2014, at 23:31, Matt Lind <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There is no modelling chapter in the previous documents, which is why I asked.
