i dont care about the price as i have a bit distant relative who has XSI... haha... i asked him and he obviously told XSI.... as for lightwave i just dloaded a pirated copy of LW6 to see how it works.... the interface SUCKS!!!!!!

is it the same in 7.5 too??? i am thinking of moving to XSI as i have seen it in my relatives PC....

Current Decision: XSI

and why am i switching? maya's modelling rules.. but the animation and texturing seems a bit too waggie to me... which ones good in animation and which ones good in texturing????

i just wanted a sister program to help with maya so that i could use something thats good in XSI/LW to improve my end result..

sorry for the craggy post but i really want to know who is the person who voted for 3DS???
