SDS Weight Preview? // Roundtable

Now that I've finally managed to get a non-corrupted version of the manual (thanks a TON, Paul!), I've been playing more w/ the Workspace side of tS7.5. The vertex weight painting for skeletons is AWESOME, seeing how each vertex is weighted, and when I saw that the SDS tools have similar weighting functions, I kind of assuming I'd be seeing the same type of preview...however, I'm not seeing ANYTHING showing what the vertex weights actually ARE, just the normal mesh, which I can paint on with the cursor - but there's NO mesh weight preview.
Am I doing something wrong? Or do I not get a similar preview?
And, another SDS comment - why do I see the subdivided mesh, and only see the smoothed control cage preview when I go into editing mode? Would it not make sense to see this preview at all times? Or at least have the option to do so? |

Actually, that's the opposite of what I'm looking for. I want to see this when I'm not in editing mode:

And instead, I'm seeing this:

I can't think of many reasons I'd want to see the subdivided model, when I have the option to see a smoothed control cage. It cuts down scene visual complexity, making navigation easier, and what with Caligar's ease-of-use focus, it kinda makes sense to at least have the option to see it this way...
And, I'd really like to see a bone vertex weight or soft selection-style view for edge sharpess when editing weights in SDS. |

In the same window enable the per object settings and change the wireframe color and the opacity. I hop that is clear enough to understand???? Once you do it it becomes very simple. |

I was going to post this too, but I think (if I'm interpreting right), he wants
to see wireframe without SDS showing in the wire in non-edit mode.
As in edit mode with 'Show SDS' unchecked.:confused: |

You nailed it, SteveBe. |

I can't do it, so it's not possible.(I kid) I really can't figure it out.:confused: |

it is unfortunately not possible - even in point edit mode geometry is facetized so it is correctly send to modeler; point edit however injects some streams into the mesh so renderer knows how to paint edges - the drawback is that the edge color need to be converted with special render atributes node.... |
