Re: Friday Flashback #223
Ha, I still have those manuals standing in the bookshelf, next to Rossano's Inside Softimage|3D book. ;-) I started dabbling with Softimage|3D 3.7 I think, on a blue and bubbly SGI 02, and picked up XSI at 3.0 on WinNT, replacing 3DSMax. Bought Foundation for dabbling at home at some point, but that was quickly replaced with a Essentials license. Good times ;-) And after spending some time in Houdini and Maya lately, it's sad to see how truly elegant Softimage is compared to other packages. Sure, it has it's quirks too, but nothing beats Softimage in workflow, compared to the click-fest that is many other apps Rob \/-\/\/ On 14-5-2015 0:57, Alan Fregtman wrote: Myself I started with XSI 4.2.

Me too, I started with 4.2. I've used Ligthwave a few months before that and it was a pleasant change. But it wasn't until I was forced to study and use Maya 6 at work when I realized how good XSI was! I was excited with Maya at first, because being so popular, I though it was the best thing in the market. Oh how wrong I was.

especially since it was the first really 'production ready' version, wasn't it?

I started on 1.5 (such as it was) when you had to patch the Soft3d license with the Xsi key. Didn't start using it in real anger though until v3 though.
