Re: How do you guys make sure XSI files and Softimage 7.5+ files will open in 2016?

Hum, then perhaps it was a Vista thing?  Because I had no problem clicking any type of dialog/button And to be fair, (in XSI4.2 on Win8) selecting nothing specifically when nothing was selected, made the selection rectangle remain drawn, which I didn't notice even after doing a bunch of stuff and going everywhere possible, cause I rarely select nothing when nothing is selected. But any of this is really just silly stuff. Especially considering that we're talking about the very earliest ver. possible on the latest OS possible. (4 OSes gap) And I remain pretty sure that Softimage Running fine on Win8 would more than just likely also run fine on Win9 (allowing for 8 years) if not Win10 (12years) ... Otherwise, seemingly having to defend Soft (from further exaggerated uncertainty or reductions) isn't something I particularly enjoy, and is something I would rather not have to do, while honestly wondering why I have to do it in the first place. (Assuming it may have to do with it being not unlike a former love later then being specifically disliked (but.. sigh) ) On 12/26/14 17:52, Luc-Eric Rousseau wrote: jason, about vista check the fourth post down here from Stephen and please stop trolling. http://forums.cgsociety.org/archive/index.php/t-965169.html On Fri, Dec 26, 2014 at 3:22 PM, Jason S <jasonsta...@gmail.com> wrote: I don't know.. just installed XSI ModTool 4.2 (2004 ~11 years ago) on Windows 8, Maybe I missed something, (that I should've done for it to not work) but Install went fine, no button click or other interface issues, loaded-up sample scenes, & posed-up RedJaiqua without running it in any sort of compatibility mode, and also loaded bunch of addons from that time. But I'm sure Soft will break by tomorrow at most  ;-| Quick! Move to Maya before it's too late! (the friendly future of 'high-end' 3D?) If soft wouldn't be run, it would more likely be because our spirits would have been broken as opposed to the actual software.
