I think that exist on the softimage market, or better on the 3d market a lot of artists that have technical tendence but not a drop of programming knowledge and ice in my case was exactly the door for "playing and learning" without the frustration in scrpting and going wrong.Even ice was the portal for make me curious about programming. houdini? didn't like the ui, and based on my xsi experience ui makes the difference ;) If you find that spot Paul, i want a seat. Sorry for my english!
