If possible, how could I create a live connection between Messiah and XSI? I've heard of PoP(point-oven-pro), but it seems to be just a converter between apps.

Another good question would be... does anyone use XSI with Messiah out there? If so, what is your experience using both apps and how do you feel Messiah contributes to XSI's already super character animation features?

Thanks! :D

The SDK provides the tools to write such a connection, so if you are fit in C, just go for it.

Until then, PointOvenPro is perfectly working already. It is almost as "life" as the messiah plugins and much less trouble.
No, it isn't just a converter, once set up, you bake out your animation from messiah and by dragging the timeline slider in XSI it updates. Everything I ever need. And it is possible to bring animation from XSI to messiah too, what the native plugins can't.

The plus of messiah is that you don't need to skin your characters and it's speed, but if you are proficient with XSI, there isn't that much of a point in messiah, since it is always nice to have everything integrated and XSI is much "deeper".
