agreed, especially now that they are included
pretty well in other "cheaper" solutions. either that or they need to
infuse new technology into advanced (CAT, more rendernodes).

Subject: Re: Behavior?
See this is one of our issues. We've been considering
upgrading to Advanced for some time - but it seems the only things Advanced
offers is Behavior, Syflex and Hair. Take Behavior out of the equation,
and we're left with Syflex and Hair - not sure if thats worth the extra
purchase price, plus 3x the maintenance fee. We'd like these options, to
be sure, but the price differential seems a bit out of whack given what you
get for that price. Seems Soft should be taking another look at their
price structure.

did use Behavior AFAIK but I think only because Massive wasn't
developed
enough at the time when they started those crowd shots. I
know
very little about both but I've observed both in action and Massive
seems much easier and robust from what I saw. Also, when MR
becomes a
bit more robust in Massive, I can see that becoming a nail in
the coffin
for Behavior. I'm not knocking
Behavior....obviously it can do what its
built for but with mixed
pipelines becoming so popular today, I have a
hard time seeing anyone opt
for Behavior over Massive given its larger
user base, ease of use and
flexibility with rendering.
