there is no torch in my hand!
I am interested in the sharing of his experience, at the moment the
concensus is his experience was bad. I have been anticipating the release of
this tool for many months and I welcome the options it brings. after that,
it is more than the tool he is providing I am interested in it's his
experience. If we can improve our experience when developing for XSI I feel
we can expect more and more rendering options for XSI. I merely want to open
the lines of communication not burn him alive.

whatever reason (mostly due to inconsistencies in the design, he is a bit of
a design freak, just have a look at the Affogato source...) but there hasn't
been a single positive email other than the 2 first mails from people who
have tested Affogato.
