Re: 5.1 Download now

I can´t comment on 5.1 yet. Nor on 4.2.

Also didn´t want to add to your bitterness with
my suggestions. Sounds like you often get asked
to do short notice jobs, e.g. have tight deadlines.

I can understand you´d prefer to be able to rely
blindly on your tools in such (any) situations.

The only way I found out of this is to decline from
such jobs in general as they aren´t paid well either.

It´s not worth the hassle. Imho. Not meant as a
wisecracking, thought. I just found that people
knowing *their* job won´t ask you any BS.

I know, that doesn´t help much. Especially from
a guy 99% of his time a student (100% XSI novice).

Cheers anyway,

tim

P.S: If you get things to load fine into 4.2, why do
you need to export to 5.1 instead of loading a *.scn?
