looks good!!

Sorry for being a bit daft but what were the screen shots??

Maya with a silo plug in and a view of silo's interface??

My two cents are

I've got a feeling that spersific modeling apps will be better, so will the rendering, texturing, animation etc, as they should be since thats what their made for, but what is used to put it all together in one 3D app?

Therefore, unless your a studio with lots of cash why not buy a proven 3D app that can do everything rarther than buy multiple apps that, if they go wrong you need to spend lots of time trying to get it right.

Think thats why Maya's so much as a standard, as, with great programmers you can have app's that do exactle what yoiu want with one software.
