accually it shouldnt experience any slow downs except on really slow connections
the information is small and you would just be sending changes, interactions even with magnets would only be effected by the systems themselves
think about magnets like this
you already sent the other user the influence and user defined vector if there is one
you then move the mouse, this is all that needs to be sent the current value
if you change falloff that will be sent, if you change to bell or spike that will be sent so the question is how often do you send the interactive stuff
this will be the only thing that would possibly get you bogged down on a slow connection that is
this could be set in an option if the data being sent is to often which would create traffic for the end user with the slow connection
this could be adjusted in nanosecs so if the guy yells hey its going really slow you just dont send him interactive updates as often, and could even turn it off so the end user only sees the final results of interactive modes
for teaching this should be fine
but for multiple artists working together it would be cool to just work on a part and have someone work on something else
and support for more than 2 users would be awesome
think about everyone in this forum working on a really detailed model
I excel at organic but strugle with non-organics
but jstro is the opisite so if we were working on a cyborg with exposed inners then haha just imagine

yes but why stop at that point
I could just select the faces or edges and save then AIM them to some one and say hey fix the area I selected
I want to colaborate on a model
I have done the chat paint stuff and the results are awesome

also what you said about 1 animating one texturing and one modeling all at the same time is not really possible
first if the geometry or topoligy is changing still then the texture person can make a texture because the uv would also keep changing
and the animator would be in the same boat because he has to keep assigning any new geometry that the modeler may add
the texture guy and the animator can work at the same time but wings is only a modeler at this point and will possibly be a painter at some point but animation is erelevant for at least another yr or longer

of course the first time someone does select all objects and hits smooth 2-3 or more times on a scene coposed of 1000000 polys already
well lets just say everyone is going to be waiting a while
(well except for that guy with dual 1700+ athelons and 2 gb of ram) :)
he will probably be the one to do the deed too
accually smooth should be independent and if more geometry is added after smooth then it updates to everyone (not including more smoothes)

just because mirai does it doesnt mean its a good thing
mirai has some truely awesome tools but it also has some odd stuff in it too

you wouldnt paint a clay piece before its fired
why would you paint a model before its done
now the animation thing yeah if you use smart selections and stuff then you could start working on animations why the modeler is working on it
but everytime it missassigns you will have to fix it

how many times have you seen someone do that in mirai
probably once to try it out and found it better to do it the right way

non-linear is good for alot of things but some things need to be done linear

now wait one moment
you are not talking about animating now!
there is a difference between rigging and motion testing when modeling and animating
a big difference

I agree that rigging and modeling go hand in hand and guess what even truespace allows you do do this kind of thing when modeling
