Re: symmetry in XSI 6.0

"requires a few releases (few years) to implement?"

its called priorities and having a roadmap... there are features in v6 that have been in the cooker longer than symmetrical modeling. Softimage has prioritized and planned this release and symmetrical topology operations arent here yet. I along with many others will continue just fine without this feature since there are workarounds. Whats more interesting to talk about is procedurally adding points, polys, and edges.
This is a sought after feature! 
 Once this happens we get other abilities besides just copying modeling operations across a plane. 

"It seems that it's 
available in modeling programs (from their inception or at least initial 
versions) that are sold on a much lesser scale..."

what programs? Wings3D? and modo?

I may be ignorant on the subject and probably have little understanding of complexity involved in implementing such feature but why is this so difficult to implement for a team of 3d experts and requires a few releases (few years) to implement? Especially since this is such a sought after feature.

It seems that it's available in modeling programs (from their inception or at least initial versions) that are sold on a much lesser scale (and probably do not have such 3d expertise on the development team - just speculating here).

Me too. Which is one of the reasons I prefer to use Modo when I start off modeling. In other ways I prefer XSI to model in. Just waiting for that perfect app…

Yeah, hopefully this makes it into the next release.  I would love to build edges on a polymesh in symmetry mode sometimes.

Just a quick question about symmetry in XSI 6.0:

Are all poly operations now supported in symmetry mode, including operations that modify topology? Is there support for tangent based symmetry?

 

Thanks.
