3) Put ferrets in your underpants.

I will do 2) though sometimes I feel like I doing 3) when depressing doomsday threads like this start and people ramble about the /softipocalypse/. (It's not the subject at hand that depresses me as I believe Soft is still going strong among those that use it, but the negative impact of these threads.)

Like "/2012 = end of our world/", *I'll believe it when I see it.**



*** I'm not talking about "/oh noes, two main devs left?! THE END IS NIGH!/" kind of "see it", I mean when I "see" an Autodesk official statement saying Softimage is discontinued. Until then, *2) to /infinity, and beyond!/*

The way I see it, everyone has two choices:


1) Complain that XSI is dying and resign yourself to that fact. In doing so,
you'll be sustaining the rumour, and making it a self-fulfilling prophesy.
2) Start fighting back against the cynicism (as understandable as it may or may
not be) and get out there and actively promote XSI in every way you can. If it
doesn't work, who cares, at least you tried.



I'm doing option 2. What about you?



It's only over for XSI the moment the XSI community go "meh... it's over isn't
it".

And in fact, none of the developers mentioned have worked on SI from the start
of it. There has always been a certain amount of churn. It's normal, and
pretty much the same everywhere.

thats only a fraction of the people that have left since the
acquisition. some left entirely and some moved to another projects.
not to sound gloomy but even with those talented people leaving there
is progress and (i can't be certain) growth.

Its always good to have some new blood in the team, hopefully it leads to
new ways of approaching old problems and is good for the software. However
we do seem to have lost an awful lot of knowledgable people since autodesk
took over, Luc, Guillaume, Halfdan, Phil Taylor, Helge... Its not easy to
replace that much experience.

I'd like to know them. Are some of them on the mailinglist?

Always cool to know their background.
