You're never gonna see Manta, or if you do, it will be unfinished. This is what I was told by Michael Sheasby, the marketing guy at Softimage. Manta was developed to demo (understand sell) XSI 2.0, and they left it unfinished after that.

As far as I know, Softimage had to give the Silicon Graphics Renderstations back to them before they finished the video.
They then finished it in lower Quality on their own Workstations, but can't show it official because they also got kind of Copyright Problems... (but no Guatantee for hat)
