Hi everyone
Chinny here - the author of XSI vs Maya.
Today Softimage and Alias announced our latest offerings. Today being the
first day of NAB. As such we knew there would be alot of "oooh what's new"
threads on many forums.
So to answer you all...yes this comparison was done in a way to make fun of all
the times that XSI's true innovations have been debunked by our competitors, as
well as to get everyone talking.
It has been an enormous effort by everyone at Softimage to bring this version
to market. As you all know we try and balance the huge ammount of customer
requests while at the same time maintain a consistent level of innovation.
Without innovation the industry would become one stagnating jam-pot.
We also have hundreds of new features and enhancements to almost every aspect
of the software. The whole feature list will be ready for when we ship and so
we will not need any more comparisons - the list will speak for itself.
I know you will all enjoy the new innovations in XSI v.4.0 and you'll probably
wonder how you ever did without them!
I will now go back to being the "laid back" person most of you know, in my
reclining chair by a Vegas swimming pool :-) (I wish)
Chinny

I found it quite amusing and it actually gave me the chance to joke with
some friends, and I think it was actually done in a half humorous way.
I have to agree tho that outside our small community (list/SI diehards and
friends) it will deliver a completely wrong message.
For how much it amuses me and I'd love to see it sticking forever I have to
agree, it has to go or be done better, but comparative marketing is a
dangerous game to play, and it's totally out of line from Montreal's laid
back style, it sounds more like one of those arrogant ad politics from
2001's Alias.

To me it seemed like someone making the web page woke up and noticed Maya
6.0 announcement and quickly came up with a list putting down Maya without
putting much thought into what they wrote.
Sorry, I think we should be over the Maya vs. XSI debate. It's just like my
Mac is better than your PC arguments. I think it's time that the simple,
dirty, put-down Maya marketing is dropped from SI.
