Re: [Virtools] More on Scripting (Was Competition)

Well, you're one of the "knowledgeable users",
so I'm always interested in what you have to say about Virtools.

Still, a scripting language would be helpful.
The code which generates the network is a sufficient description of the network.
Otherwise, it seems you have to print screen dumps, and add comments to them.

Maya has a Script Window; when you perform some action thru the GUI,
you can look at the Script Window to see the corresponding code.
While this doesn't actually write the code for you,
it goes a long way in getting you there.

You can test bits of code in an Input Window,
and type code directly on a command line.

I'd be interested in seeing how the new User Guide looks.
With N*M* 1.01, it seemed that the way you were expected to learn the program
was to reverse engineer the demos.
While there is something to be said for that,
I would have been happier to have seen more techniques explained and developed.

Its been a while since I have been working with N*M*.
Our principal modeling/animation program here is Maya,
and I couldn't find a method of getting Maya character animations into N*M*.
I have heard that this is supposed have been improved;
any "beta" knowledge on that?
