Hi all,

I know this is a bit naughty, but

I'm not actually trying to start yet another Maya/Softimage debate.

https://www.edharriss.com/xsi/version3.htm

Just interested in what Avid are implementing in their new version of XSI. Version 3 (out soon) looks pretty impressive from a character design/animation point of view. They really seem to be listening to their users and implementing innovative stuff that makes the average users' life easier and more fun.

An interesting comparison:

Maya 4.5 new features. I'm sure you are all aware of them by now.

and

XSI 3 new features.
Check out 'character designer' half way down page........

Again, should alias be worried?????????
