Or $4495 for a workstation license and then $2495 per year. For a minute there it looked like Autodesk was doing something half reasonable with the free transition offer to Softimage + Maya. But then I saw that accepting that means that I would not be allowed to use Softimage at all after February 2016. I'm not even sure what Autodesk gains from that.

For a company that relies entirely on Softimage, that decision is not a cheap one. Houdini is 7000$ for a floating license plus 4000$ per year! http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=385&Itemid=190 In two years when Bifrost will be nearing maturity, Maya will become a lot more appealing if you stay on subscription. Be kind with your bean counter. just sayin. On 04-Mar-14 11:37, Alan Fregtman wrote: I've set up a poll out of curiosity... Where will you transition to when Softimage falls?
