I'm thinking maybe there should be a discussion list for Only Foundations users, and one for Advanced and Essentials users Only! They can whine on all they like then.

I don't know how much whining you guys saw before 3Democracy, but now that Softimage has made XSI available to the masses, I'm afraid that this whining will drone on... XSI drew a lot of people from programs like truespace, carrera, poser, etc, and I can tell you that whining was a way of life for them there.
The same people that complained that the advanced rigs and Texture Layer Editor weren't included in Foundation are now complaining because it costs money to upgrade to the next version (which now includes those two items).


I don't think that the whiners consider the fact that Softimage probably didn't have to re-license Mental Ray for a .2 upgrade, but probably had to for the 3.3 to 3.4 upgrade. That can't be cheap, and Softimage can't be making much on Foundation in the first place. So let me thank Softimage for making this tool available to us at such a low price!
