btw. this is a very interesting vid about the IKEA workflow, regarding model libraries and a lot more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vccAaaZZ2mg
I'm nowhere near that and I don't need to! What they came up with 3dsmax is indeed impressive. And their workflow is insane (drag models in a scene, automatically placed with coll detection and some kind of automated parenting/linking of objects depending on where they are dropped in a scene. And yeah, real time dynamics to give natural chaos to the scene). I'm sure this could be done with XSI too, giving the proper human ressources and a different reality where ADSK didn't kill XSI. However, fisrt step for me is adjusting a frikking thumbnail size. :) Nice weekend all.

The current workflow is that I create models, region-render them in a dedicated scene so I have the exact same look and save them. Using the XSI browser, I have folder structures with a graphical representation of each model that I can drag in any scene. Easy and just perfect, except that the icons are kinda small. Of course I could use some kind of external software to catalogue the models and drag them into XSI, but I'd like to keep it inside XSI for now.

Interested as well. I think you would have to make your own "buttons" or html gui (python, jscript) with bigger pictures as an alternatove from a custom toolbar. all it comes to mind at the moment.

I'm currently creating a model library and would be nice to have the icons a lot bigger, when using the XSI browser. Like the size used for texture icons for example.
