V-RAY for XSI Beta

#1

anyone tried V-Ray XSI Beta yet?

#2

did for a couple of months. was going pretty well, certain features were even
better implemented than in the maya port (subd translation, viewport lights feedback)
but chaos group focused the dev team on the maya release, so dev for the xsi platform
stalled. dunno precisely where it is now, but last i spoke to chaos, all focus is going on the maya side. its just standard business, as the need for vray in maya land is huge, and there is a huge revenue potential there.
the xsi userbase on the other hand, as usual, is nowhere near the same size
to justify a more focused dev schedule. i can honestly say i understand these moves
by smaller companies to focus plugin dev on a platform that by selling enough licenses
can cover rnd costs and ensure profit. on the bright side though, they are still
working on it, and apparently, if all goes well, they talked about an aprox release date of late 2010. but thats just a very very theoretical target.
