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.

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... On Fri, May 23, 2014 at

Max's Nitrous viewport and Maya's viewport 2.0 are using the same shared viewport engine. On May 22, 2014 9:40 PM, "Sebastien Sterling" wrote: > Sergio is spot on in his description. > > i had not heard of Scene states either. > > > http://synergiscadblog.com/2013/03/22/friday-3ds-max-video-tip-h

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 workaroun

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. On 22 May 2014 20:17, Sebastien Sterl

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 a

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. On 22 May 2014 18:1

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. 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 >waiti

Re: OT: Now that the grief over softimage, how did you get over your it on your daily basis?

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 a

Re: OT: Now that the grief over softimage, how did you get over your it on your daily basis?

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

@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... We baked vertex since Snake Solid.
