True. Buzz is the company that pays me and that doesn”t mind my sharing, so I had to. ;)

In the interest of spicing things up a bit and relating them to XSI…

Did you know:
- Of the 93 current employees of Buzz, 36 of them are XSI artists. Yep, that almost 40% of the workforce.
- 100% of the 3D material done by the visual effects department that can be viewed on the web site was done with XSI. Buzzlab/Motion Graphics dpt. sometimes uses other 3D software but none of those M[a-z]{3,4} things… ;)
- 3D for the YTV, Bell, Teletoon, Movie Network and Discovery Channel Campaigns is all 100% XSI.
- All visual effects for film at Buzz that use 3D go through XSI.
- As far as I know, of the 38 clips on the Buzz site (excluding reels), only 6 didn”t go through XSI because they don”t have any 3D in them.

… That”s a bit more info but I couldn”t really change the shameless, gratuitous advertising nature of the post. Sorry.

Well, this looks like the the least interesting and XSI-related posting so far here on XSIBlog… ;-)
And maybe the shortest too?

At least you could provide some interesting facts or spice it up a bit?

Pure advertising is boring ;-)
