"specially when self employed"
... or small ... or big shops delivering sequences of images :)

Hi Jordi!
First I wanted to personally thank you for those docs, as they
really did go straight to the crux.
Yet for the points mentioned, I would have an easier time
agreeing with you if indeed I found "some things to be easier,
and others not", whereas beyond what could be associated to "XSI
muscle memory", the sheer quantity or proportions of things
that are not not just easier, but considerably much (much!)
easier, makes it hard to just overlook and just "go with it",
especially when knowing how things can be.
Especially when what I'm looking for already exists.
I know it takes great effort designing things that are both user
friendly AND very flexible
(both must be at equal priority upon design phases, otherwise
there is great tendency for becoming mostly an either/or thing,
akin to making things both fast AND high quality)
I'm not either dismissing it altogether, just that after
witnessing how things are, I would focus on things that are more
accessible, and *perhaps* (if so very progressively) adopt other
aspects.
Because I also think that given the circumstances, it is good to
vary disciplines and tools that we use, yet also remain
convinced that "moving-on", should be as a progressive process,
mostly if not -exclusively- relative to whatever we consider can
work best for a given task.
I wouldn't currently favor XSI for say dynamic beach waves, but
for a great number of things, until there would naturally be a
time when it would simply not be worth it, either because some
things would advance considerably or some things would make it
more difficult to run,
(either of which can be seen quite ahead of time when testing
new equipment /software)
switching should not be something that is forced, or be from
giving into more or less heavy enticements, or peer pressure,
(specially when self employed, delivering image sequences) but
that just a personal view.
Anyhoo,
ciaociao!

Indeed I never managed to get fully where I wanted... as you can
see VOPs was missing, VEX, DOPs and so many other things but
such were my limitations in terms of knowledge and time.
Nevertheless I will suggest you take Andy’s
comments and review them, he certainly took the time to put
some stuff in there that is worth keeping.
My take is, from what I saw is that you were using
Houdini like me, as if it was Softimage and sooner or later
you will see (like I did) that it is better to embrace it and
just move on,
I hope you enjoy the ride. :-)

Or alot of equivalence
mapping was in there (which was great help BTW),
yet could of course not map the parts that aren't
mappable
(or not easily mappable without getting very
technical such as for any ice related stuff)
Must have overlooked the Object merge bit thanks.
