XSI'er here too. *wave*
I'm at the moment studying game development (= lots of 3D), first time
there's this big study programme concentrated solely on game
development by the way.
Sadly the teachers here are the most extreme pro-3DStudioMax people
I've seen for awhile, I'm sticking with my copy of foundation most of
the time though in the classes (While getting funny looks and 'funny'
remarks from the teachers, just before Max again crashes for half of
the class)
Maybe someone from the sales department wants to contact these lost
souls here ;-)
