While we're on the topic... where has BatchServe gone?
http://softimage.com/downloads/XSI_Advanced/default.aspx
I don't see it anywhere. Is it discontinued, hidden or what? Where can
I grab whatever the last version was?
Anyone care to upload it to mediafire.com? (assuming it doesn't
infringe copyright to do so.)
Cheers,
