Reactor,

I can see what you are saying but I do not expect you to please me or have a portfolio. What I am saying is that if you are going to state that Modo is a much better modeler than Hexagon you should at least be able to use both programs and produce a simple figure in both programs if you want anyone to take your advice. You can then show screen shots of the technic used between the two programs. You can not just assume the information on a website about the competiton is true. Show me why one is better and easier. I have had people show why a technic in one program is better than another. That is good to see posted. That is what these forums are all about. Thomas does post screen shots and images to give him credability.

I disagree with you about listening to what other say about software and then passing the information off as fact. I think you must actually use it your self to give an accurate and fair opinion. I have heard professoinals give false information many times and even read false information when a program is getting revued in a magazine.

Most of the folks over at DAZ have Vue, Bryce, Carrara, True Space, Lightwave, Poser and a few have XSI. I see post about how Vue can do this and Carrara can not. It is sad that the person posting the information has never even tried to use the shader tree of Carrara not to mention Carrara can do many of the things that Vue does but the people just do not know how to use the software. I think we can all agree there are many wanna bees. That is why I got sick of the Daz forums. To many people posting about what they read rather than actually being able to use the software and demonstrate the technique used. I know XSI, Maya and even 3DS Max can do some great figure animation but I opt not to post about any of them since I do not actually use them nor could I demonstrate the superior modeling tools of XSI over Carrara. If I buy XSI and like it I will infact show screen shots of how great the rigging and modeling is compared to Carrara to let others know what XSI has to offer.
