I heard about this. Has Softimage given a reason as to why they're making it version six instead of 4.5 or 5? Or are they simply waiting longer to release the next version than the typical six-month release period?

it's because six sounds cooler, and 3 versions later they will save on packaging design and just deliver old packagings with the cardboard cover slid on the box the other way around.

it's all part of a plan to save money on that stuff and put it into implementing Xdugef in the modeling panel in v9.

for the record, a plan to relocate the dev team in tibet is already being actuated, so that between versions 7 and 9 they will be aided by the dalai lama in reaching that state of ascetic meditation needed to implement the new features.

no thats not true jaco, I heard someone at softimage had a dream, where Budda came to him and suggested to skip the number five, because that number is the number of devil !

I heard...it's not the dalai lama it's the last xdugef monk that'll supervise everything.

sorry dandy, but I have it on good grounds that it's actually the way I described it.
matteroffactly I've been invited over by the Soft guys as official incense guy for the guys who'll work on the new character tools that derivate from Xdugef and the new polygons free infinite engine.

but I can't say more then this I'm afraid.

Where did you picked that rumor? In case you were referring to my comment on XSIBase, just keep in mind I'm always right and always tell the truth.
