Actually it doesn't read that bad. A lot of the little things that always made xsi special.
A little farewell present...

[Superpositivo]

I thought the same.
Nothing that "WOW", but many little things that just are nice everyday.

I hope the new Map port in Syflex works as expected. Because the actual one is a little bit tricky in painting weights for the cloth.
Also MR progressive rendering. It's useful having it. Sure it lowers the weight of rendering setup.

Not too bad...

Its a shame about the timing of this, because what's in the release is actually very useful stuff, really looking forward to it:

alembic
improved syflex
save backup
ice tree muting finally!
tab key functionality in ice.
re-ordering node inputs.
mr 3.12 (well, until redshift does volumes)
profile curve editor key values

What?! The 'tab' stuff and general ICE UI enhancements sound really nice!

And this:

Displaying Softimage on a single screen
Y
ou can set the new
XSI_SINGLE_SCREEN
environment variable to display
Softimage in the primar
y monitor
, even when you use the dual screen set up

Whoever was responsible for that!

I'm sorry I still don't understand this feature. Can somebody please explain ?

[Rork]

Soft ALWAYS starts on 2 monitors, before 'giving back' the second after the UI is fully there. With this you can override it.

Who is the stupid Autodicks responsible that puts special characters like ' in a name of internet url?!

I don't get it too, I alway edit my layout and change nbscreen="2" to nbscreen="1" that's doing the trick
and xsi start on my first screen even if i have 3 monitors so what's that feature huhhh ?

[*]Support to progressive rendering
[*]Mental Ray String Options

The Mental Ray String Options interest me the most for testing the mila material.
