You are not correct, the hair system is a limitation in the channel box and Alias already respond "This is a limitaiton" and it will addressed in the future realese of Maya. I don't mind not to be able to trace the follicle, would not make much sense to be honest but the hair system node it would be very hand. If you ever had a chance to use the hair of course.
This was a problem since the bening.
They are like sets not part of real connections that you see.
This is again not correct, they are nodes in the history of the geometry.
you can nevertheless FORCE thosic to show up altough its rather hacky to do so!
Would you be so nice to share the hacky parts when Alias was not able to give a solution? I'll be rather interested your solution.
Academic discussion in where you want all your needs cartered for and
expect everyone to agree with you. And offcourse they will its just not
possible to include everything in a programm in a real world.
I agree and I'm glad that MEL/ELF are there, just give even more power with the API and with further MEL. I do not need Alias to spend too much time on MEL code I would rather see them implementing core functionality but at the same time they need to give a strong base for the use to expand the software. More modularity for example would help quite a bit.
Dont worry about what is in future or what should be worry about what
IS. And please send alias feedback!
I give alias as much feedback as I can.
thanks,
