Obviously a very talented programmer, but with talent sometimes comes =
the overtly critical opinions. One only has to read the verbose and =
passionate debate he had with Gonzalo Guramano on Cgtalk about MR 3.5 a =
while back.

i was looking at the affogato page...
http://affogato.sourceforge.net/index.php/Affogato:About
and wow does Moritz dislike XSI or what!?
"Affogato was mainly written by Moritz M=9Cller over a period of four =
months. During which namely person experienced the pain of the worst =
documented and mediocrely designed API south of the north pole. And I'm =
not talking about the RenderMan interface. Amen!"
it's sad because i would think softimage devs are happy that such cool =
stuff is being done with XSI, but by someone that loaths the core of the =
software
either way, affogato, XSIMan, etc are welcome!

RSP are releasing Affogato under the GPL - I think it's in SVN, but
haven't checked yet. You should see a packaged release soon enough=20
though. http://affogato.sf.net It's a really nice (and fast) exporter
and works particularly well with 3Delight (haven't tried it with other
renderman compliant renderers).
Cheers,
Alan.
