Oops! I meant version 3 of Softimage XSI Exp. :)Sorry to get your hopes up there. It's baiscally like Maya PLE but no watermarks.

Small in the sense that it fits neatly in the lower corner of a render. however, I've also noted that the renders are small. About 320x240 . It may be possible to achieve other sizes but I can't use the program myself due to OS restrictions (I use Win98).

I got the cd set for the xsi experience a few months back. Came with some video introductory tut stuff. Was free just for writing and asking. Needs 1280x1024 resolution or it won't load and run. Definite learing curve, but I'm playing with it more than the PLE thingie. Seems like a heck of a package.

Is there a limit to render sizes? Can it import/export usable formats? Never mind, I'm downloading it as we speak. ^_^

Not to change the subject,but azactully how long does it take,(over a duration of time)to learn xsi,maya or max,..Im talking about modeling and animation only,not materials or any of that other stuff.

umm, check the FAQ of the software. It says it leaves watermarks in the viewports and in renders, is limited in reolution, exports only scene files and cant be read by the normal XSI version. It's demoware without a timelimit orsave disabling..
