what about XSI ? Thats a pretty powerful piece there. They did the whole movie Panic Room (w/ jodie foster) in XSI before shooting. It saved them 3 months of production and $30 million. There are some annoyances about it, but you get used to them - then again some other things about it are just great :beam:

they are both wonderful programs, but of all the 3d proggys 3ds is the most versatile, and also the most compatible with other formats for exporting and stuff. :)
