Just a quick poll to see who uses what in the land of TS...

Interesting poll and interesting results, thanks V3rd3.

This shows what I thought: 7.61b is preferable for the workspace but not for modelside because of new problems caused by the last update (incompatibility, bugs). Personally I prefer the look of the workspace, but I work with modelside because I do not find the tools I use elsewhere.

This poll will stay open for a while...

@Marcel, I understand you completely. I am trying to make a list for myself of the features that need to be in workspace before I can move comfortably there.
Do you have such a list?

I can do a list. It will be interesting to compare differents list to show what are the most function needed.
Ts7 have more 2 years old and there is 55 per cent people who use the model side or 6.6 . There is a real problem. and i am sure most of the users of the workspace are newbie or non professionnal enthusiast except those who have a particular need who match with the workspace (but how many?) . most of professionnal have not the same need, even with the more beautifull tool. I don't think the add of many rsobject can change the problem without a real update of the code, but without Caligari it is THE problem now. I don't like to change my soft with a brick each day. It is time for me to work with TS. It seems to me that this software is used to create. No?

There are definitely some things that cannot change but the SDK is far reaching and a lot can be changed that you might not expect.

Limitations like the maximum polycount are ingrained in the way the code was engineered so this cannot change but there is a lot that can....

I think it would be very helpful for us to tell the devs what we are looking for so they can see what they might do to help. I will put up a few more surveys to get info assembled that I think will help.

Marcel, I look forward to seeing your list.

haven't worked with 7.61B8 much yet but haven't found anything yet, what incompatibility and bugs are you referring to marcel?

I voted for 7.61B8 model cause I have not had one crash so far and I started reworking one of the very first scenes I did about 8 years ago on a wood cabin with no problems so far...

Wow Interesting survey - you didn't include 'and' options. My current workflow requires the use of both sides, model and workspace of tS7.61. I've also been working on a set of 'best practices' for moving back and forth across the bridge. Anyone interested in my findings just let me know.

Hey WIZARD, I would DEFINITELY be interested in the 'best practices' for moving back and forth across the bridge... I need to learn to use Workspace properly because I see the benefit of using it but at the moment I stick to model side to get models done quickly...

W!zard, ditto to Theuns's comment.

I am working in tS7.6 Model side most and have yet to instal tS7.61B8 -though will do this fairly shortly now trueBlue has compiled an extensive list of fixes and enhancements from him and others (and I have time to set everything up).

My next project (the new Vue competition -nice to have something to aim at) will have a trueSpace > 3D-coat > Vue work flow but if I have time I might try first with Workspace and cut out the 3D-coat. (I need to make some terrains to import into Vue and the relative crude (cf. with 3D-Coat) sculpture tools of Work Space may be sufficient.

So my future intention is ts7.61 (though I take note of comments about model side in beta version...) but maybe I will end up with ts7.6 model side and tS7.61 Workspace stand alone...though the bridge does have some uses still

Whoops! Seems when you add more criteria to the poll... you delete all the responses.

Please vote again. You can change your votes up until the poll closes. There will be no further changes to this poll.... just new polls.

Thanks all.

For those interested in ws/modelside across the bridge 'Best Practices' info I'll try to get somethuing posted tonight - very busy at the mo.


EDIT: OK, it's done. Go Here for further info on best practices using the bridge.
