Yes Bruno - I did download XStream for Maya.

The actual installation is flawless. Including the Maya plugin arrangement, and the Mental Ray arrangement.  

I have two versions of Maya - 8.5 Unlimitedon one machine and Maya 2008 (plain version) on another machine.  Have tried Xstream 7on Maya 8.5 first as that really is my main modelling tool, but will de-install Xstream on this one and then shift it to Maya2008 on my second machine, where I actually do most of my rendering and do all my Realflow work.

The VueXStream installation seems to have unloaded all my Maya plugins, for some reason. But I simply went back into the Plugin Manager and refreshed all of them. The Xstream plugin does show up there. (Exapnd the pic above.) I have to say, this is a heck of a lot better than Xstream 6.

Much as I admire Vue, the Presidential Election is far more important. LOL!

More in a minute.
