Hi, So, I rig and sometimes animate for three years now ,but still using 90%softimage for rigging/animating! it's just worlds compared to animate in Softimage where blender is still just "bad" there are too many steps to achieve something similar in softimage, both the rigging and the animating, *Blender Pros* animate per symmetry of key poses works wonderfully (provided you followed the R-L terminology) many rig presets,including ik-fk blend and switch/match position (similar to gear but more advanced than gear was) Actionsconstraint an animation that you can start by callingtrigger a value, constrains only for one axis curve-modifier *cons* Ui too many options like constrains local ,world ,customspace, posespace, local with parent ,local space very confusing at the beginning,
animate rigs/bones in the Poseditor rig end creating bones in Edit mode , geometry similarly in the edit mode is modeled in the Objecktmode you can assign deformer ,in the weighteditor you paint weightes unbelievably many minest doubles if not even triples many steps compared with softimage. few characteranimation tutorials still have the feeling that 90% of the userare hobbies, exceptions prove the rule, https://vagon.io/blog/movies-made-with-blender/#:~:text=interesting%20as%20well!-,1.,the%20winter%20into%20spring%20again . *extra pros* free, *extra cons* addons addons too many updates *softimage* intuitiv realy Userfriendly animating/rigging schematic view solo/view select fcurve floating windows middlemouse button to repeat last command, quadview clearer, stack deformer nurbs deformer link with ghosting animationghosting set 4 cameraviews so that the position is not lost the worst for me is the lack of the schematic-view and the jumping between edit-pose-object-mode and the selection of function curves and last but not least hot keys that break the flow because i have to put down the mouse to execute the combination my short resume Walt > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Softimage Mailing List" group.
