I know this might seem a RTFM situation, but how in the heck do I get shape modeling to work in v5? I've read over it several times- and it seems easier than it was in 4.2...but I can't get it to work like I can in 4.2? Things show up on the animation mixer, but they don't do a freaking thing when I change the weights. I tried to use the new shape manager etc. and it says it's saving shapes, but they have no shape weights to them etc.

I must be missing something way to obviouse here because this should be so easy!

Feeling like I rode the short bus today...

It's not working at all like 4.2...If I switch contruction modes say from modeling to shape modeling there is no difference...

What am I missing here? Do I need to update XSI?

I'm the village idiot! OK so I'm not THE village idiot, but consider me part of the crew!

I was modeling in Immed mode...which blows away the stack so that no changes take place to models...duh!

Sorry-
