Hi all,

So I have a bug character with tentacles and antenae that are lofts with the path having a spline select and linked xform modifier to link them to the bones. All ok, but when I reopen the project, the lines/lofts are left behind. I have to select each line and check and uncheck ‘back transform’ on the LXform parameters to get it to pop into where it should be.

So I do that, scrub the timeline, all well.....net render the beast and each frame the workstation net renders, the tentacles are left behind....other nodes do fine with it.

It’s like the workstation is the only one to throw in this error when loading up the file.

Any ideas?

And while I’m here doctor.....

How do you revert from the new unhide/hide dialogue again? I saw notes on it on the readme upon installation but can’t find it now. At first I thought it was an improvement (sort by colour etc) but doesn’t seem so now - takes a while to pop up and is never in alphabetical order and can’t click in the field and press the first letter of the object you want....oh and also tags some meshes as shapes! This one seems a bit half-assed Autodesk. Anyone else hate it? =)
