I´m doing mostly modeling and shadersetup in XSI 5.01
currently, rendering not too complex scenes in the 1-2 mio
polygon (rendertessselation) range. Up to 100 seperate
objects, some mess due to the wip of things and limited
experience in using XSI.
In an average 10-12 hrs working cycle, I get one crash.
Most of them are recoverable, I get a full sceneloss every
3 days. 50% of the time crashes/hangs happen when building
shading networks and using effects like FG/SSS and AO.
The others are mostly when a modeling operation creates
an unexpected result or the PPG modeling history gets
very long. As this is something that builds up, I start to
avoid crashes by freezing regularly, re-starting now and then
and getting used to prepare assets in seperate scene instead
of bloating a wip scene with loads of *unfinished* objects.
In terms of stability I´m quite happy with my XSI 5.x adv.
Cheers
tim

Subject: How often is too often?
I know this is a big can of worms, but what the hey.
How often does xsi crash for the peeps on this list? Daily? Bi weekly? Hardly ever?
Is it possible to run it and keep your hair?
I'm not looking for specific help or sympathy even, ( thanks, tho, to all who've
helped me here before) just doing a survey really.
I want to buy a full advanced license, but I'm commitment phobic generally. (I may
still have a thing for Max).
