**Wow, Im surpised only Soulty and I chose Maya. Poor Maya.
XSI is really cool though. We have that here at work. I, not to recently, went to a tech demo of the lastest version and it was pretty wild (ok it actually was a while ago I think). Anywho, there are some really awesome things about XSI, but then again there are some annoying things as well But, did you know the entire movie Panic Room was done completely in XSI first? pretty cool stuff.
I am still not sold on maya…but I plan to get to know it a lil more. I just wanna see what all the fanfare is about. Has anyone used both on any profesional level or for some high end stuff. Besides built in HDR what are the main diffs you see?
when is it coming out? i donno i like my max5 :-\ i think they are just trying to be like maya on this one and just try to get a new version out :-\ although it does have mental ray in there…
yeah and reactor 2 which is just about it for the cool features
particle flow was supposed to be part of 5 as a patch
and the dumped the deep paint idea. The rest of that stuff seems to be old 4 scripts. reinvented. BUt me being me I will still end up with it. But they are pulling a fast one
ohhh, cool. i will wait a year to see how others like it. it doesnt seem to advanced and the interface is the same…it just does look like a few more things. i didnt quite read through that artical though.
