@xsisoft - Thank you very much for your notes and link. I totally agree with you "an update from Mental Ray to SYCles" MUST BE DONE. It was SO omitted for our community when the EOL arrived, we were left to the waves of changes and technology, that I think it's important that a series of v...

Hello Talent103, i was the person in the FB group. Have still same problems, on every XSI Machine. Stoon-Plugin for Sycles for XSI will not work. And the freezing of the NodeEditor is very strange (also on every machine). As I also mentioned in the FB group, please Uninstall softimage. Turn off fir...

:ymapplause: Thank You very much!! I will go through it tomorrow. BTW here is a question from someone on a face book group. "Hi, somebody have experience with Sycles for Softimage? Have installed the actual version in a network workgroup. Works "ok", but i have problems to render wit...

Hi. As you may know I am a Blender Foundation Certified Trainer. I've been working with Blender doing virtual and live training for Compositing VFX, 3D animation, 2D Grease Pencil and Sculpting using Blender in the workshops. I recently became interested in giving back most of that expertise in vide...

Hi @Shekn ! I never had the opportunity to fully thank you for such incredible work you're doing with SYcles! I've been a 5 year Blender user now, and I absolutely love how I can take my CYCLES knowledge and apply it here with SOFTIMAGE. A dream come true. I got 2 questions: 1) Is there a way to wor...

Keys that are hard coded and cannot be changed: U,S,G,R,X,Y,Z everything else could be custom key assigned.

Lots of pictures and detail comparisons on what I've done with the theme.
Thanks!

All right team! XSI theme for Blender is out and ready for download! If you're a Blender user, support the thread here: https://blenderartists.org/t/xsi-theme-for-blender-2-83-may-2020/1220169 I hope this can get renamed to SOFTIMAGE. I don't see a problem with that since they have names like MAYA a...

I love how this is 1 to 1 in Blender and Softimage! Great work!

yep. Alive 4 ever it seems. So 2.9 is now on the horizon and apparently the LTS version will have to wait until then (Long term support) which basically ensures compatibility with render farms and "serious" 3D pipelines. The time you invest in dominating it (for now) it seems that will not...

I confirm, the UI now looks 95% exactly like XSI with TAHOMA! Thanks!!

Thank you for checking it out. I just submitted a new image: ICE and RENDER have skyblue and cyan colors, which I think they should correspond to the properties tab (render options, formats, passes, etc..) I hope the Blender devs don't put silly objections. I've been busting my back to make this the...

Yeah, I was just thinking the same. Why not call it Softimage? It was its last name to wear... so I guess people will click with it more immediately? Or is it because XSI was shorter and had more public before it went "softimage"? Mysteries, I´ll never figure out. Early preview and DOWNLOA...

Hello, team. I am looking for a little help with some nuances from Softimage UI. I´m pretty sure most of you are aware that I was designated to mantain the XSI theme for Blender. My OWN theme is called XSIMOD theme, and that's what I've been propagating around for a while. But the Blender devs decid...

Hi Nicole. I don't exactly know which character you refer to. I have different characters (and secret characters) scattered through some of my videos. To answer what I read as questions: - I am not struggling at all between Softimagers and Blender users. I love bringing our Softimage concepts to Ble...

To understand "the Blender mentality", I made this video to explain the basics of weight paint. If you wish I can make an advanced 2020 (updated tools) about weight paint in Blender 2.83
