Which studios? AFAIK most still use maya.
Aggh! Now that's interesting. I keep reading that Softimage is taking over in the worlds 3D studios. I believe you Alan - from the horse's mouth so to speak.
i think it's great for home users but for studios I dont think it's that big a deal
I think the idea is more people will buy it at that price to learn it and thus there will be a larger pool of people out there who have XSI experience. Then studios who do use XSI instead of Maya or are thinking of changing (you can answer that bit Alan) have a larger pool of XSI users to choose from.
But as originally asked will it cause Alias to lower its price? Probably not...
Tickety boo and ta ta for a bit...
