It is hard go move away from XSI if you still can go back…the same with languages, only full immersion works and the results are normally astonishing in the sense that you will feel confident much sooner than you think.
But I do certainly understand the need for being productive and it is not an easy task with any package. My suggestion would be do one small job with it, no effects, just something easy, materials/render kind of thing… hire a Houdini artist to help you out on the transition and execution of the job and you will be moving on the right track. Regarding your question, I am also interested, it has been more than 8 years since the announcement so it is quite telling there are still artists using it. XSI was so freaking good! jb > On 13 Jan 2020, at 10:44, balazs kiss <fospu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I do, every day, and I think 2 or 3 more guys in our office as well.
