Exporting animation

#21

Keith Lango pretty much summed up my feelings about XSI getting bought here.

Messiah is a great animation & rendering tool. If you’ve got a modelling tool like silo, modo, wings or any of the major applications, you’ll be quite well placed for any character animation based thing you want to do in 3d. Messiah excels at the things that are related to character animation & rendering, and with time I think we will see even more of that. I wouldn’t use it as a primary tool for things like simulation, but as long as it is character animation focus you’re looking for, it is messiah you want.

thanks guys the feedback was awesome,
I`m definitely giving Messiah a go…

I didnt know about auto D buying xsi?

that probably means less integration with avid systems down the line…

that seems to be the way with all these companies, its the only way for them to survive in a tough market…

Like adobe macromedia…I spent a year mastering expression, a vector drawing program before it was then bought by microsoft, who buried it, I was bummed, and moved to xara, that was bought a year later, but by a german company that seems to be developing it into something stronger.

anything I touch gets bought,
hopefully over the next 2 years Messiah doesnt get bought by autodesk and buried.
I can`t stand learning an interface and having to start with a new one…
Time is short and having to start again is a freakin nightmare, we have to get automatic and intuitive with our apps when we learn them in this industry, its not like going from microsoft word to Coral wordperfect.

So maybe I should wait on xsi to see where it goes, they seem to be really developing it strongly in the latest release…how can 3 softwares survive in one company, xsi, max, maya?

when golive and dreamweaver got together I spent a year mastering Golive, there was Golive CS then it got beheaded.

I hope Modo grows independantly, it has a lot going for it and strong development, but so did xsi…

ah well, just thoughts, best just to dive in…
