Is there currently any easy way to incorporate RenderManintoXSI pipeline? 2005-01-28 - By Stuart Hall
Back
Thank for the compliment, Jordi.
My only regret last night was that Kim ran out of time just as he was
about to talk about the rendering of the robin.
If you're out there, Kim, how about a follow up next time! :c)
Anyway I've hijacking this thread long enough.
Over and out.

Thanks Stu, was a pleasure to see your great work now done with XSI,
truly amazing how you guys got up to speed so fast.
