If it's not AD, it will be rumours like this that will kill Softimage in
the end ...

Sorry...can't resist. Nasty rumor going around that Soft will be done
within the next year. I'm just hearing this from a few NYC peeps. I
personally find it odd especially since we know there's a beta program
running now and that a lot of places still rely on it, especially ICE.
I WOULD NOT be surprised at all if development stopped within a year
or two and it was just a "left as it is" product but I don't see how
or why the door would be slammed shut in anyone's face.
I doubt anyone can "confirm" this rumor but curious what others
thoughts are. I'm looking to learn more Houdini and C4D for the
volume of work but have no desire to use antiquated and archaic
platforms like Maya and Max to be honest.
Regardless, its tragic to see Soft slowing down and how it never
managed to take over as the #1 option years ago. It really is the
best but a few limitations, bad timing and bad marketing didn't do it
any favors.
The community, addons, plugins and contributions though are incredible
and I think thats the part I would miss the most.
....and discuss
