Softimage keyframes not set to linear interpolation

Just a heads up to the Craft devs.

When craft sets keyframes in Softimage on every frame it's using spline interpolation when it should be using linear interpolation between keys.

With spline interpolation you get subframe tension and it messes with motion blur. It would be cool if craft could lay down keys this way instead of making the user have to manually convert them everytime.

So the proper step to working around this issue is to set anim preferences to linear interpolation before capturing.

Like I said in my other post it would be handy to have this documented especially for people like me who aren't as well versed with the fcurve editor :-)

Yup that was me actually :-)

This is a different problem however. Unfortunately the keys written by craft default to sppline interpolation in Softimage and not Linear so it would be great if there was someway Craft could default to writing Linear in future versions.
