Makes me somewhat question the validity of it all given that it was SoftImage…

They don't set the scenes up at all similarly, some in XSI are set with only a couple of keyframes while the Max and Maya ones have a key every frame. Some of the scenes in XSI are set to draw in bounding box mode and being compared against Max…

At first I was reading it like "wow maybe I'm biased toward max and haven't been giving these other apps a fair shake?" Then read; Even after no mention of Maya, or that people might have more experience, prefer a certain UI…
Pointless. Well if XSI users didn't attempt to skew results in tests I might not have a go at em... They should relax and not come up with this kind of crazy crap. All it ends up doing is pointing out that most apps are equal and "150% of all statistics are made up". Use what you like, what you know, and what your…
