If I were using Softimage, I wouldn't be here (discussion group). :) This is what I do while waiting for a render...
Catch up on the latest talk about new features, work-a-rounds, and industry gossip. Now that I work 100% on the internet, how else am I supposed to mingle with my peers? I can no longer afford to go to Sigraph, since my rate had declined every year I have been in business. Softimage has managed to fill the void left when Cubicomp Picturemaker left the 3D animation scene. That was version 1.0 on an SGI. It has come a long way and had several owners. I am just trying to predict the "jump the shark" so I don't get left behind. I suspect my next move will be Blender on Unix, using a tablet and a pen. I am resisting it, though. :) On Thu, Aug 8, 2013 at 1:43 PM, Christopher Crouzet < christopher.crou...@gmail.com> wrote: > How about you guys click on the Softimage icon from your desktop and do > your magic instead of wasting your time whining about some marketing > bullshit? ;) > > > > On 8 August 2013 19:29, Stephen Davidson <magic...@bellsouth.net> wrote: > >> to take it one step further....
