Comments on: Softimage: RefModel Deltas’ Hygiene in Production http://darkvertex.com/wp/2010/02/21/clean-softimage-deltas/ Bringing CG to life, one rig at a time...

Sadly this would be a great feature, but I still think this is too buggy still. I think development should really focus on such a feature. It would be a pivotal selling point if it was not the pivotal starting point of many headaches in production. It is improving over the latest releases, but still not as reliable as it should be.

So testing first might be a good idea ... We tried the animation layer + ref model at work with SP1 and it’s not completely fixed. So testing first might be a good idea …

They shouldn't dissapear either way though, since (I think?) you can't delete referenced constraints.Also, I have been using and continue to use referenced models since version 6 through to 2010 SP1.Steven Caron pointed out to me today that animation layers are working fine in 2010 SP1. I recently made a small edit in my post to reflect this. I hadn’t thought of node locking constraints but I guess that makes sense.

What version of Softimage did you do most of your testing with? Also I find node locking any of constrains on the rig helps prevent animated constraints from wanting to disappear when saved.
