Ok Guys - we are trying to bypass having to dive into Realflow here - time
issues, and are using booleans with a shape jitter on to hack out a liquid in a
bottle thing.  It works great, except that XSI seems to very unstable in this
area now, no matter what I do, I cannot play back an entire animation without
XSI freezing solid on me.  This is a character lifting a bottle to his lips and
drinking, so the cutting object is pos constrained to the bottle, but not
roatation, so it always stays horizontal.

Anyone know the magic voodoo for this, or am I extremely hopeful - or is there
(anyone here in the know) a QFE that adresses this issue???

Thanks

Sandy
