Word cloud for the Customer Guide to Autodesk Advanced Support.

On this subject, now that the AREA forums have been updated, I suspect Maya/3dsMax/Softimage customers are one step closer to forum support. From the Advanced Customer Guide:

Proactively Escalate Forum Posts to Autodesk
Autodesk Advanced Support provides you with all the benefits of Basic Support, including expedited community forum support: if the community does not respond to your posts within 24 hours, they are automatically escalated to Autodesk.

Wednesday word cloud: DSScripts functions

There are 770 functions in the VBS files in $XSI_HOME\Application\DSScripts. Here’s a word cloud of the function names. To create the word cloud, I took the camel-case names like SetCameraSequencerLayoutProc and split them into Set, Camera, Sequencer, Layout, and Proc.

Proc indicates a function that is the implementation of a command. So the command SetCameraSequencerLayout would ultimately end up running SetCameraSequencerLayoutProc. So you see a lot of commands are actually implemented in VBS 🙂
