Yeah, I agree.  Well if Pixar does in fact roll out an official RenderMan for XSI pipeline....that could really stir things up.  I know you can already get XSIman from the GraphicPrimitives guys but I imagine an official supported system from Pixar would be more tempting.

What would probably help with leverage to get better deals is to get
really good support for additional render engines into XSI. A little
competition could make them more competitive.

That is a great plan.
