Hi Luc-Eric,
first off, thanks a lot for spending the extra time to
build and extend the FXTree, your participation and
constant contribution in this forum and general openness.
Now I´ll make my official plea, addressing you in your
role as part of Softimage, in the hope to provide ideas
that may further extend the useability and spread of XSI.
*Remember that 32bit and 64bit require individual shader porting.
*Provide a 64bit version of Foundation, unify the licensing
scheme so it may also run on an ess/adv Dongle, add $175 to
adress that cost but in exchange let people run it on all flavours
of windows and linux, take it with them, dualboot, swap, etc...
*Revise the current amount of rendering licenses granted,
the Foundation license should at least make full use of
one machine with two sockets, which is about 8 CPU
cores currently, scale the amount of ess/adv licenses up
accordingly, unify and streamline batchrendering for the
sake of giving freedom to the users - you´ll gain your share.
*allow to have at least two interactive XSI sessions open
simultaneously, allow to specify the number of CPU´s for
rendering on each - all this running on one license/current user.
Cheers
tim
P.S: On a more personal urge, I´d really love to see a Pixar
style 2D/3D lighting approach realized in XSI, so well done
it feels an integral part of the software, push a button - setup.

There is no 64-bit version of Foundation planned,
afaik. It's one of the benifits of Essential
along with batch rendering.
