remove or hide camera from dropdown menus

 

sometimes you have too many utility or test cameras and you want to remove them from your dropdown menus... To do this, add the "soho_renderview_menu" property to your camera's parameters and uncheck the box. Tip taken from Tomas/anim of Odforce

force multiple curves to have same Normal

If you have a bunch of curves and then polyextrude them, sometimes the normals will get funky and some will be facing the wrong way. A POLYPATH sop added before the extrude can usually fix the resulting normals - I think it kinda fuses the curves into one object, something like that.
