You have a couple of hundred people working for you, a complex pipeline
that's a plate-balancing act to keep reliable and running, hundreds of
thousands of pounds worth of software with thousands of man-hours of custom
software tightly tied into that software. It simply doesn't change.
As I recall, XSI was a couple or 3 years old, ILM were still using SI|3D
that was a good couple of releases prior to the one that was current when
XSI was first released.
You simply don't change anything in organizations of this size. The
repercussions don't' bear thinking about
