Well, IGES is a bit more like the DXF of polygons IMO ;-) It's pretty
stupid although it can work well.
I usually ask for the files in Step, Sat and IGES (as fallback) and try
what works best - the first two contain more useful information while IGES
usually doesn't preserve naming etc. but that di

Today is the last day I would be able to back-subscribe to Softimage.
With all the latest developments, I'm more happy each day to leave this

It was interesting to hear from my reseller lately that the prices of
subscription are basically back to where they were before the price
increase in germany.
The 100.- Euro late-re-subscription-fee seems to be off at the moment as
well.
Next thing we know will be Softimage in the Apple App Store

really worth every penny, it used to cost 70,000 or something ;-)
Hey, just kidding anyway. I'm out of the loop already.

It seems that in the future you can update up to 6 or 7 versions back, but
have to pay 70% of the full original price (which funny enough was

What's up with all this?
I got a mail that my membership to the Softimage mailinglist is suspended
because of too many bounces (huh? Gmail bouncing email?) and that I should
follow certain links to re-enable it, but those links don't work:

Have a look at modo 601.
Depending on what you do, it might be a nice alternative (it is for me, I'm
no longer on subscription as well - partly because of the price increase).
You can import ICE particles via realflow .bin and alembic is built in
(didn't test that one really though).

Poor guy that Joe Alter person.
I still have the dongle for the initial "Shave and a Haircut" for Lightwave

It never really worked properly and when Softimage bought into it, he

broken code the highly raised middle
Well, security is an illusion anyway, no matter what Chinny is saying or
others are fantasizing.
If Autodesk one day decides that XSI is out, it will be out and you'll get
it as a subscription benefit with your cereals... ;-)
