Hello

 

Thanks to everybody,  after read your posts I have decide to test make my scene with Behavior J

Umm. I never think about it, buy the Greg question about Behavior nodes and Moondust I think that is very interesting

 

Thanks everybody

Hey Kris.  Massive out of the gate is definitely Maya biased.   It can take cameras, lights, skeletons and animation from .ma files.  Not sure if it's still in the newest version but there was a dotXSI importer that was very sketchy.   In version 3 they've added fbx support which should hopefully balance things out.

Once you get a rhythm with it Massive is fun to use but it is definitely a different animal.  Having something native in XSI using MR 3.6's new tricks would be very welcomed. 

Crowds fall into that all too familiar list of things that will never go away, like fluids (smoke,fire,water), hair, plants, trees, terrains, oceans...

I'd like to see that as well.  How does Massive play along with XSI?  Massive seems to be the solid standard when it comes to crowd simulation but it appears to be more Maya friendly.  I know some people have used it in an XSI pipeline though.  I saw Dave Barosin playing around with it...you there Dave? :-)  Having some AI nodes in a tree within XSI would be really sweet indeed.
