yet so I can&#39;t answer you. I know ex-Hybride folks used it. (Rob, Nicolas

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">But if Massive now offers Mental Ray
support and that it plays nice with XSI then it&#39;s definitely a contender
to our pipeline.</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Judging from my colleagues who had to use Behavior
for lots of shots, it&#39;s a beast to tackle!</span></font></p>

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">If we have another solution then it&#39;s
very welcome.</span></font></p><span>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Is it easy to bring XSI
stuff into Massive?&nbsp; I haven&#39;t used Massive at all but I know it seems
more Maya friendly.&nbsp; If there is no cut and dry way to export directly
from XSI to Massive, there really should be some development on Softimage&#39;s
part to make this happen.&nbsp; Now that Massive supports MR, I would say that
is the final nail in the coffin for Behavior if Behavior ever even had a
chance.&nbsp; Massive is the industry standard for crowd simulation and I don&#39;t
see that changing anytime soon. <br>

are excited to be working with Massive, at a time where demand for its products
is on the upswing,&quot; said Rolf Herken, the CEO and CTO of mental images.
&quot;In mental ray 3.6 we have support for assemblies, allowing arbitrarily
large scenes such as those for which Massive is known to be rendered utilizing
the most advanced raytracing and global illumination algorithms.&quot;</span></font></p>
