Hi Stefan, and all.

I used to do a lot of MI generation using SoftImage3D, and I've been meaning to set it up in XSI.
The one thing I would suggest though is to do all you MI generation on one fast (large memory) system, instead of having every system generate on mi frame.
The main reason, from what I experienced with Soft3D, is opening/reading in a scene takes a while (especially larger scenes).
So my workflow process was to have the fastest box (with enough memory to handle big scenes), open a scene and generate the MI files sequence, and have the renderers offset by a couple frames.
If it was a really big sequence, (because I would see a memory increase over time), I would break up the MI generation over two or three systems.
