Well, it is in Bill's best interest to always have a bit of competition kicking around. Saves on those otherwise potential monopoly suits hehe.

Now then, back to SoftImage... the buttons on the left, whats underneath those buttons Gare?

Is this app text or icon driven beneath the surface? How many times do you have to go to the sides, or is there right click menu's... are most moves also supported with userdefine or dev defined hotkeys... how intuitive is it ?

thanx
