I completely agree with you guys

The particle deformation and PSD support aren't anything amazing, just
nicely well done.
I find the hair impressive as it seems alias has made a fairly robust and
complete tool, which seems stronger but also weaker then xsi's in some
areas...or so it seems from the vids.

Just pointing Maya's new features out as it's always good to know what's
happening on the other side of the fence.

But yeah, it seems like Alias is doing catch up with Soft in a big way.
Heck, just about every main new feature in maya6 is from a existing one in
xsi.
Unfortunately I can only compare Maya's new features to the few that Soft
has released, just have to wait and see.

Luke, Good to hear that the RBD are so strong. Was quietly expecting that :)


Cheers,
Brad K.
