Ahh what a bummer!

Here we go again, the big whinge because Autodesk have now bought Softimage, so what!

remember when they aquired the rights to Maya and everyone whined about it then, they improved on a Software which was becoming increasingly overtaken by others. Those people are now silent...

Maya and Max have become better and are able to 'share' the workload far easier than before, so by adding XSI to the ingredients, one can only hope the same thing.

If XSI is ruined from the outcome of the aquisition then I'll eat my words but until then let nature take its course. Its not like max and Maya have disappeared off the face of the planet is it?

At the end of the day we all have a choice of what to use, who cares who owns it! Look at it this way, its like buying a different model of car made by one company!

Its all psychological....
