Re: Coming back from Maya

Can I ask why you old school Soft users think the native interaction model is better than every other piece of software out there that all relatively mimics the same qwerty setup?

I'm looking for solid reasons why it's better. Is it faster because you guys are so hardcore that you don't even use a mouse... therefore freeing up your right hand for O,P usage? ;)

I'm calling you guys out. XSI dragging along the old Soft mindset just further alienates potential users from hopping on board. IMO, SI would be better off in the long run if in V7 they just dropped it and kept the qwerty setup as default. Maybe drop it completely from the software but offer the keymap as a download from the site... at least until the "old dogs" retire.

Hey eric,

it's a great initiative to host tested/working/quality scripts and plugins on
your site.
What about contacting ALL the xsi addons authors and ask them the permissions to
host it on your site ?
I have a good collection of them but the authors still need to be contacted for
permissions ....
