Re: Softimage 2015 latest vs 2013 SP1?

2015-10-30 Thread Tenshi . 
That story repeat in a lot of places, but at least we know we have a good
software in our hands.
Show your employers a Softimage reel and tell them how easy is the
Softimage route to create art, and if they want to go the Maya route well
it will took more time and a lot of effort. It's simple.

People with money that pays for software in companies usually have no idea
how much Softimage is better, part of the problem being aggressive Maya is
great SI is only plugin marketing.
Thing that they are not the ones working with tools has no meaning at all.
They wont be othe ones pulling hair out non stop, but will be the one
screaming at workers why it is not done yet! :)

Guys, did y´all read we didn´t get FBX 2015 on this SP? that sucks!! we are
stuck with FBX 2014 exports
At least that has shape-transfer for other apps; but FBX2015 on SP2
would´ve really nailed it. :(

Regarding convincing the management to put money on XSI: Well, since Softimage 
is still  five years ahead of its time, upgrading to 2015SP2 means to stay 
productive until 2020… at least!  It may also be a good thing to open old 
scenes/projects with the latest version.  It's an investment in the future, so 
to speak ;)

IMHO worth the money, especially if it's only one seat.

Thanks guys. The filesize thing is a biggie imho and the ICE additions would be 
really nice, but I would say it is kind of slim for the size of the 
maintainance fees. It will be kind of hard to convince management to throw any 
money in that direction :/ 

  

2013 SP1 solved the shader connection issues alright, so I find it very stable, 
although lately I have seen some weird instability with referenced models and 
some rigging quirks with cage deformers.

This came up the other day here - what exactly is the diifference between 
Softimage 2013 SP1 which we run here vs. the latest 2015 which I guess is SP2?

in 2014 they added a camera sequencer, crowdfx updates, ice overrides and
some ice syflex stuff. Ability to handle larger data files is useful.
in 2015 they added support for mr 3.12, some great ice stuff like tab
search, pausing evaluation, muting ice trees, and a fast save backup scene
option. Some more ice syflex stuff.

I also don't get any of the shader disconnection issues that I used to have
with 2013 (not sure if sp1 solved that?)

Hi,

The 'biggest' difference is the ability to save scene files/emdl's 
bigger than 2Gb on Windows. That was introduced in SI2014. 2014SP1 and 
SP2 were just bug fixing installs.


But the difference is a mix of smaller updates and fixes in all areas of 
Softimage.


If you use ICE/rendertree a lot I would imagen you like the new SI2015 
TAB key functionality for getting nodes in.
SI2015 SP1+2 bring in appr. 30 fixes or so in total, some very much 
wanted in the ICE dept.


I suggest taking a look at the SI 2014/2015 documentation and the SP 
readme's to see if an upgrade to SI2015 is 'worth the trouble' ;-)


cheers!

Rob

From my understanding there are no actual new features, but an 
assortment of improvements in ICE, the viewport and some Alembic 
exchange stuff. I would sort of love to be proven wrong though.
