I like the functions in XSI where you can type formulas into input boxes or like how you can arrange things with a function
L(20,40) and your selected objects would arrange themselves between 20-40 evenly spaced or like time, when I'm on frame 154 and I just want to go 1 sec more, I'd just append +24 to the end or when you select multiple objects and rename one, and they all rename in sequence (name1, name2) On Wed, Nov 26, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Andy Goehler <[email protected] > wrote: > Great point.
