We’ve been looking at xsi gently from a distance for a while as it seems to be more capable in some areas of complex scenes than 3dsmax. We’re not really planning to move over at this stage but I thought I’d post this in case anyone hasn’t tried it or haven’t heard about the new tech ‘ICE’ which sounds pretty darn cool.
cheers!
