"For example, only a small proportion of our Softimage customers are actually current on the Softimage software. Many are using older versions. These customers will be able to continue to do so in perpetuity. Given that they are productive using older versions of the software, this decision should not significantly impact that productivity. For customers who have built their production capacity around staying current with our releases there are several options including locking their pipelines on Softimage 2015 indefinitely or transitioning to a Maya or 3ds Max pipeline."
These people are not happy they're still on older versions, it's the stagnation of development under Autodesk that's kept them there. I'm sorry, but this is a shameful misrepresentation of the facts, Maurice. DAN On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 5:24 PM, David Saber <davidsa...@sfr.fr> wrote: > That's not a response to the open letters.
