Yes, and it is tight!

I went through it with 1 of our animators and there was nothing that he wanted
to see that wasn't there - including IK/FK ghosting

There was a great trick discovered by someone on the beta programme were
animation ghosting allowed you to see the ghosting for a rigid body simulation
:-)

 Hello,

 

 Can anyone verify whether ghosting/onion skinning is available in XSI 4?  

 If not, can anyone recommend a method for ghosting animation of a character,
who's meshes have been enveloped to a rig.

 

 Cheers!!!
