ohh boy this topic.
I'm continuing learning arn, and i'm beginning to learn ice, it's never
late. I feel like i'm learning a new app everytime i open xsi.; but
learning maya for me is like i'm force to do it.

Max's Nitrous viewport and Maya's viewport 2.0 are using the same shared
viewport engine.

Can I ask you Luc-Eric how is that the same engine was not put in XSI? the
whole HQV reinvention seems to me like I am missing something.
If you ware allowed to discuss what was the behind that decision? I am sure it
made sense to someone but I still don't get it.
thx

keep SI away from any meaningful upgrades, those who put let them make it
even worse and get more reasons to kill it tomorrow.
I think it was clear enough.
saying how SI was old impossible to implement blah blah doesn't make sense
as both Maya and Max are same old crap...

Answering the original question. Once the announcement was made, it has
created a near impossible environment for me to use Softimage. My employer
already scowled at my use of SI and now he has a reason to dictate me use
another app. We bought a seat of C4D and I'm trying to get up to speed in
it.
To Byron,
I feel you buddy, know the pain of that fight only too well.

Thanks for the info… I guess I was naively thinking it had little implications
on the rest of the code.

In the end the five stages of grief as formulated by Elisabeth
Kübler-Ross seem to apply,
where not everybody is at the same stage at the same time…

I stay with Softimage for a while further! And saved subscription money
I spend to 3rd party developers now (I started with this already)! And
some day there will be a really better 3D-Package (or solution). And I
bet it will not be a a solution of a certain company!

And you may tell yourself
This is not my beautiful software?
And you may ask yourself
Well...How did I get here?
Same as it ever was...
@Mirko: Well said. Speed rules over branding. Sadly companies just listen to
word of mouth which has always been
Maya... once the word of mouth was ICE, AD said: Let´s end development.
I can still laugh when the Viewport 2.0 is presented with honkey tones...

There is no grief, here. The software is definitely NOT over. Initially I
thought Oh no (clean version),
but once I thought about it, as I was getting my new license for Redshift
3D, I realized that whatever I need this
existing software to do, I can do with ICE. I am only just starting to
learn
Well the same applies to me.
I now am getting into deep scripting in Softimage.
The big difference is that in Maya you script for necessitiy and in
Softimage for the fun of it.
The real saviours here are Redshift, Mootz, 3D Quakers, Paul, etc.
For me it was never grief, it was anger. And the
Still sticking with Softimage for now. There seem to be some changes coming
in the next year or two in almost every package so I'm gambling on waiting
a while before choosing a direction. Looking forward to the next step, it
may have some things I'll miss but I'm sure there will be advantages to
Exactly my pov. The different packages are too much in flux atm to make a
decision right now.
If I was forced to switch, I'd go Houdini though.

I saved the maintenance fee and used it to add Meshfusion ( Modo) to my
current Softimage + Redshift pipeline.
FINALLY the maintenance money got me some kick-ass new modelling tools! ;D

Grief will never be over. Relationship is over.
These days I'm realizing naively how little love XSI received.
Now that they killed SI, I've never seen so many posts on the list from
autodesk employee. Now they listen, let me laugh...
The other day I opened Match mover. A part from the fact it
ow the Max people will be pretty pissed as well at this stage, seeing the
heaps of new tech AD heaps on Maya's bloated corps, while 3ds rotts.
But i think the most insulting must be when they do all the see we really
doo listen to our clients bullshit, thats gota sting.

I’m still grieving over Softimages instability during shading and lighting ;-/

I've got over it by diving into Houdini, to more I learn the more I want to
dive deeper ;). It's not a complete solution just yet, but I am sure it
will be ;)

I'm still relatively new to SI, and yes, it crashes a lot, but usually due to
render problems mostly, the rest is fine. I am still learning lots and lots of
it and I still see huge potential with it. I'm still just dabbling feet in the
whole ICE realm, and still haven't used all the thirdparty
Right you are, my Houdini love affair started quite while ago. But I truly fell
in love with it when I did actual work in it.

How come I don't hear anything about 3dsmax, I have just started learning
it ... But I like it more and more each day.
Are there huge cons that I should be aware of? Anyone who has extensive
experience in max...
the rigging constraints are very slow last i used in was in 2012 so that
may have changed, the default hair is terrible. no idea if there is any
fluid support., it's nice but very old, its more user friendly then maya,
but old... AD are not treating it right, the love can not be felt :(.

really annoying playblast bug, if your scene or your rigs are too heavy,
then
when you preview, the mesh will stay frozen in place while the bones move,
beware the modifier stack, it is not a construction history, every modifier
makes the stack more unstable.

Max's tools are mostly built to be productive right out of the box. It's a
right-to-the-point application that can also be quite flexible and procedural.
The downside is that a lot of stuff in there is so neglected and broken, that
it's just sad. You're going to spend some time finding
