That's very hard to explain to people that are not "in it". Every one
will say, go Max, go Maya that's where the job is.
But what about the pleasure of cleverness ? Using a complex progam,
making things talking to each others, building rules... Ahhh Xsi :)

You are right, that has been pretty much my experience in every Maya
project I have ever embarked on, "Simon the ogre" wasted so much time
because Maya rigging issues it was unbelievable.
Unless some sort of miracle I don't see any future with Maya or Max so
effectively I am even more committed to finding better approaches to
modelling and animation.
It's a great opportunity too do let's see

Max is out of the question, so there is no option under AD roof.

those two abominations are now.
I was watching this video https://vimeo.com/88391123 and although it
was impressive, one moment in particular pierced right through my
ears and exploded in my head. At around 20 minute mark he says: "We
had a bunch of UV errors, the shaders were wrong, so the night before
delivery, i had to reconstruct the entire shot from scratch."
Now, I remember a situation we had when a fully rigged, fully
animated character in maya had to have some light modifications done
to his topology and UV's replaced.
It. Was. Hell.
I don't know how we solved it. I think a person got involved, black
magic was used, i clearly remember a goat missing, etc. Granted, this
was long time ago - 2007ish i think. But for all its faults, i never
recall a moment when i had to get up from XSI and flat out smash my
head with a brick. I dread what lies ahead because
non-destructiveness is a really low level paradigm. I don't feel the
two alternatives we are being pushed into have the flexibility we got
accustomed to.
Am i wrong about this?
