I wonder how feasible it would be to implement
Behavior as an AI plugin into a game engine ala AI Implant for the Unreal 3
engine.

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).

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.
