I have once seen an advertisement for softimage, i can't remember what magazine it was. It had this modelled lego parrot in it (untextured if i remember correct): http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/uploads//1335111129/gallery_273_58_52809.png And the interface was a bit cleaner then current version, as in things missing. Unfortunately it was a dream :( (i'm not kidding, i really dreamed this like 2 years ago).
And Maurice and Chris, i really appreciate the time you guys take to write answers. However i'm hurted really deep lately and it's only getting worse. I lost my trust in Autodesk, not for all the lies but the choices made over the years. I think a major reason for maya and max being so big is that so many companies use those products and there for schools teaches those products. It's hard to break that cycle and i think it's where AD failed. If schools with maya or max seats where teaching ICE as well then softimage would have won slowly more ground. It's so sad that i always have to explain what softimage is while they know what maya and 3d max is. O yeah when was it 2008? Like 6 years ago. Why didn't AD tell the future of SI is dark. I hope i can turn away from AD products as long as possible. And seeing what products they have left, it can't be that hard. I hope the choices made by AD will hurt AD in the long term. Not because i'm evil, it's because i want AD to learn a very valuable lesson. The worst thing of all is the 2 year period, i think it's a big middle finger from AD to so many customers. 2 years is nothing. Even if you put one programmer on SI i will be happy. His taks could be open SDK and driver support, nothing more. The problem however will be that people will stop buying new products. And it's all about the fucking money. 2014-03-25 22:08 GMT+01:00 Maurice Patel <maurice.pa...@autodesk.com>: > If you mash up bits of different emails you can make me say anything you > want :) > Chris and I have gone over this several times in past emails.
