This is freggin hip!

The world's newest and most advanced 3-D animation software teamed up with the first true next-generation video game.

Unlike other free game modification utilities, the XSI EXP for Half-Life 2 gives full access to all the professional features available in SOFTIMAGE|XSI. Everything you need to create Half-Life 2 characters, models, and environment elements is here. You can design characters, mix and blend animations, render interactively or use real-time shaders, and then export your models to Half-Life 2.

Softimage|XSI is sounding pretty cool to me right about now, I might have to check it out.
