Comments on: Geometry + Rig / RefModels in 6.0 http://www.xsi-blog.com/archives/169 People and thoughts behind XSI in production...

Yet, we only used one resolution which contained two groups that had the high res and the low res rigs separate, then with a button, I would then switch between them :P in XSI 4 you had a problem when you loaded a low res model with no shape clips and then created a high res with the shape clips, they would not load :( so that spooked the guys at my studio and we never played with that again in 5. This sounds cool tho. GO XSI GO!!! This sounds powerful, yet a bit daring :P

stupid me didn’t think off the loading order this completely slipped my mind

thanks helge

I guess this because these new models, like the old ones, don't support “namespaces”, am I correct? We can always fix it changing by hand the “Models to Reconnect to” parameter, and point to the correct model. This probably is also an easy task for who has a medium technical and scripting knowledge in XSI, but still potentially a huge problem for all the rest. Anyway, the new models are ten times better then the old ones. Daniele Hi Helge,
