1. Render Workflow – Passes, Partitions, Overrides, Etc… 2. Render Region toolset. 3. “Text Buttons” option. Less Icons please. 4. Explorer, Explorer, Explorer, Explorer, Explorer, Explorer. 5. Selections. The way you select things in XSI is awesome. Object based, component based, whatever. It just works. Multiple Object select editing. You know what I mean, there is no need for an deep explanation of this one.
…so many more, but you did say only 5. Yes, I left ICE, workgroups, workflow, operator stack, Gator, overall UI, etc… off the list. But you know I wanted to put them on there. One thing I don’t feel like I can put the list is community. There is nothing that anyone can do about this so why waste a spot. It is something that can only occur naturally. It cannot be created by force. I really, really hope it forms over time or just carries over from where we are today.
