Are we stuck with it now?

They now have construction history. I'd say that's a fair bit of progress for a point upgrade. ;) Post by TylerZambori // Jul 24, 2008, 8:37am TylerZambori Total Posts: 100 ok, as long as we're not stuck with it. Thanks. I just hope it won't be another year. Post by Délé // Jul 24, 2008, 8:37am Délé Total Posts: 1374 They've been porting the tools from the Model side to the Workspace since tS7 first released. Although, I would say the word "porting" is a little misleading. That gives the idea that they are just moving the code from the old architecture into the new one. That is not the case. They are completely rewriting the tools in the new architecture from scratch. They often rewrite them with much more power though, like the new booleans. There are definitely still some tools that I would like to see rewritten into the new architecture (lathe comes to mind), but a lot of the main tools are in the workspace now. Many new and better tools are there as well. Edit: Not sure what you mean by "stuck with it". The new architecture will surely continue to grow, and at some point the model side will no longer be needed and cut off.

My guess is that this will likely be the last version of TS with Model side in it. :D Post by jhowell // Jul 24, 2008, 11:25am jhowell Total Posts: 400 There is ONE THING I WANT SO BADLY on the workspace side and that is PATH animation. I want to draw a spline path and have my object or character follow the path ON the workspace side. I realize there have been a few WORKAROUNDS in the past about getting the spline paths in to workspace side. Like this post .. http://forums1.caligari.com/truespace/showthread.php?t=3014&highlight=spline+path ... but that really is a pain. I cant complain though. There are so many things going on right now. Too much fun :banana: Post by Jack Edwards // Jul 24, 2008, 12:05pm Jack Edwards Total Posts: 4062 Even better than path animation would be animatible path deforms. For stuff like growing vines and things. :D Post by Burnart // Jul 24, 2008, 5:56pm Burnart Total Posts: 839 Even better than path animation would be animatible path deforms.
