Softimage 2011/2012 & 2013 works like a charm over here on vmware workstation 9 running windows 7 workstation x64 sp1 under ubuntu 12.04 amd64. Except from a few harmless display bugs ( more often in the schematic than in actual viewports ), it's definitely workable and has decent performance. A ve

To be fair though... getting Softimage running on Linux in general isn't for the faint of heart. VirtualBox is cool... it's free and all. But performance wise it's quite bad. VMWareFusion is quite speedy on my home machine. It's the only way I run windows at home anymore. On Mon, Jan 14, 2013 at

I think there's been some confusion... At work I'm on Linux (CentOS 6.2) and my VMWare VM is virtualizing Windows 7, where Softimage runs swimmingly. Was it a VM virtualizing Linux and running Softimage that was the issue for you? I never tried that as we use Linux natively here. On Mon, Jan 14

Hi Alan, No way? You mean you have a VM running Softimage on Linux? What Linux OS are you running inside of the VM? Did you do anything special to get it running? I've wasted countless hours try to get the required video card drivers to work on Linux inside of a VM. I think that cumulatively

I find that Softimage and other 3D apps work well in VMs when the VM is running a Windows OS. But I've had no success running Softimage and other 3D applications in a VM when it is running Linux. These days I prefer VirtulaBox over VMWare, but that is a personal preference thing. Best regards, -

Hi yall, I'm interested in knowing if anyone is successfully using Softimage, and in general all other CGI apps you might be using, in a VMWare instance? If so are there any caveats one should be aware of? -- Joey Ponthieux LaRC Information Technology Enhanced Services (LITES) Mymic Technical
