Re: Floating Paradise

Requesting for suggestions. Are any of these compositions any better? Is there a way to lock the grid in Softimage, so I can use it as guides just like in the Rule of thirds? you can constrain a grid to the camera, Direction constraint, and Pose constraint, this way no matter how you turn or move t...

Re: Motion Trail on viewport -Version Up

How do you use this? Please help. There´s no readme. And also the site is down. Thanks. If I remember correctly, after installation, go to the keyboard mapping window in softimage, look under "Custom Script Commands" you should find, Motion Trail there, then assign this command, to a keyb...
