Re: New Realflow plugin and workgroups

Thank you for fast reply!

Ok good to know, will do a test. I don't have hundreds of machines and workgroup has been a good solution so far for me.

I got little bit confused by last line in Rf plugin installation instructions:

Copy RFImportExport.dll into:
C:\users\%username%\Softimage\XSI_6.0\Application\Plugins and start XSI.
Go to Plugin manager and File…-> Load Plug-in and choose RFImportExport.dll. Several items will appear under User Root.

It appeared to me as a further step is needed to "register" the plugin to make it active. But now I understand it is just a GUI interface what it needs to install locally.

Will test it out...

How you want to do it depends mostly on network performance stacked against
convenience. My personal preference is a workgroup that I share across my
network. The convenience being one install and you're done. Larger
installations have had issues with performance, especially startup times and
some prefer to install locally with a procedure for keeping local installs
updated.

 It's a plugin so dropping it into the plugins folder will install it
automatically. There is no  manual install as such.

The all new long waited Realflow plugin is there but I have little bit
hard time figuring out what would be best way to deploy it in farm.
Manual what comes with plugin states that one should install it to User
location and then manually through GUI load it to XSI. It has no addon.
Does that mean that I would need to manually go over every node and
install the plugin locally?!
Or just installing it manually in one node and then writing over User
folder in every node would work too?

Thanks!
