Spotted this over on the VERC, very interesting!
| | | | Montreal, Quebec – March 22, 2004 – Softimage Co., a subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVID), today announced SOFTIMAGE®|XSI® EXP for Half-Life® 2 – a free version of its award-winning 3-D nonlinear production environment designed to work exclusively with Half-Life 2, the upcoming action game created by Valve. The software, which will be demonstrated in the Softimage booth (# 1528) at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Jose, Calif. March 24 – 26, allows gaming customers to create and modify characters, props, and scenery for Half-Life 2 MODs and other Valve Source™ engine-powered titles, and then output their creations directly into the games. On Wednesday, March 24, Softimage will provide special, limited edition, pre-release CDs to attendees of SOFTIMAGE|XSI EXP for Half-Life 2 seminars at GDC. The complete software package is also expected to be available for download from the Softimage website by Wednesday, March 24. Click to read more. |
So that means it will be out tomorow! This was very unexpected, but not bad news at all. As soon as it is out, I will be adding a HL2 SOFTIMAGE section, so don't forget to start working on those tutorials! |

Valve have said summer, and all signs are pointing to that being the real time frame. |

Bulk, aren't you going to name the section "HL2 XSI"? Since SOFTIMAGE is the company and XSI is the tool.
Just a small note. :)Edited by Kodak on Mar 24 2004, 02:21:50
