Its a rendering thing only not an XSI one, but it should be useful for
other bits and pieces - I guess its similar to primVars in Renderman Pro
Server.
But saying that you could do those kinds of things anyway with a color
lookup and a bit of scripting - guess its more of an elegant solution.

Per-face data have been introduced for polygonal geometric objects.
Per-face data make it possible to attach arbitrary floating point data
to the primitives. An object may also contain per-primitive data
information to identify the data attached to the primitives.
will this feature enable clusters to be put in partitions?
just a thought

The mental ray SDS was based on the Mental Matter library, not Catmull-Clarke , which made it pretty useless. Alias included it in Maya, but Soft didn't bother, because of the weaknesses.
I hope Soft does adopt the new CC rendering in future XSI versions. Will be faster and better for memory.

What do you mean? I found it only in Maya but not in mental ray
standalone at least not in the mental images documentation. Can you
point me to the page? I thought only mental matter has it.

Hmm, it already had, but not this kind.
Would like to try the new FG options, perhaps the less flickering is true...
