How about character animation, anyone use it? does it hold a candle to Softimage?

I even created a whole theme around it for Blender users. https://github.com/3dcinetv/Softimage_Theme_for_Blender [https://github.com/3dcinetv/Softimage_Theme_for_Blender] Mind these are just cosmetic colors, but make life so much easier to work in the viewport. Currently, I work only with the dark theme for Blender, similar to dark UI from other packages, but retaining the principles of the XSI theme I designed: https://github.com/3dcinetv/Blender-V-theme [https://github.com/3dcinetv/Blender-V-theme] Incidentally, any complex technical questions about Blender/Softimage, I'd be glad to answer. I posted a video about SYCLES shaders [http://sycles for softimage](Blender cycles shaders working in Softimage).

I think I was having trouble getting two objects to go into edit mode together and the bisect tool always clears your selection after it's done, leading me to a lot of confusion :sweat_smile: On Tue, Oct 31, 2023 at 7:40 PM Scotty Wilcox <[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]> wrote: Hi Steven, No sorry. I doubt that such an operator would work with multiple objects selected. If I was trying to do that or others....I'd look at this site for addons / plugins... https://blendermarket.com/ [https://blendermarket.com/] and also search very specifically for that option....which might get some workaround like https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/107358/cutting-multiple-objects [https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/107358/cutting-multiple-objects] or get ChatGPT to write a python script.....? Maybe..... On Wed, Nov 1, 2023 at 11:09 AM Steven Caron <[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]> wrote: Thanks Scotty for the links ..

I have successfully moved from XSI to Blender for everything not just modelling. Although the 3D work I am doing isn't as complex as it used to be. The feature I love the most is that Autodesk cannot acquire Blender. A big hurdle is getting used to the change of the Z axis overall. I have not used the XSi keymap for Blender so that I can learn the native hotkeys and then be able to follow tutorials. It took a long long time to adapt. Now on the very rare occasion that I run XSI, I have no idea what the hotkeys are. I've found that in XSI you might have a single key for a hotkey where as Blender the functions from hotkeys work in 'pairs'. I miss plenty of tools from XSI, but have found equivalent ways to get stuff done in Blender. I REALLY miss 'dice' .... oh man.... I miss it..... Oh and that sticky magnetic M key point manipulation thing.....
