In many ways a lot of good things have come out from this sad event.
It forced us to look at other options such as MODO and Houdini.
We were very impressed with demo people at Side Effects gave us on Houdini
After spending 1 week working with MODO one of my associate was very
impressed with MODO, he is from the Toaster Amiga days, so we purchased it.
We have a day to decide, so but will probably upgrade XSI since we have
so much XSI assets and stay with for awhile.
We will definitely keep an eye on Houdini but right now our budget
doesn't allow us to have both XSI and Houdini in our pipeline.
The killing of Soft reminds me of a traumatic event in a family which
tend to bring people within the family closer together.
I want to acknowledged Maurice's help...thanks.
Thanks everyone,
Leoung

Well, everything's being said.
Thank you Maurice and Chris for taking the time to response all of our
question, doubts, conspiracy theories, etc.
Thanks to the people of Autodesk that came in to bring some light to
the users that are in the need or feel to migrate to MAX/Maya option,
and took flak.
Thanks also everyone else in the list for trying.
At least we tried.
Thank you all for sharing the knowledge, the fights, the struggle and
the laughs.
Special thanks to the members that started in this mayhem an
alternative to do the migration easier, or raised theri voices to
demonstrate Autodesk how fool this decision is.
I apologize for any damage I have caused or inflicted to any member of
this list in any way. Never was my intention, but passions arose.
This is not an excuse, but I believe that evene, we all were expecting
this at some point since the Autodesk acquisition, we never were
mental nor heart prepared to face this.
I owe so much to this list, I don't know how to payback all the good
things this community has brought into my personal and professional life.
I hope that Autodesk reconsiders this abrupt decision of not selling
more Softimage seats, and bring back Softimage until there is a viable
option for a Softimage substitute.
I wish you all success in your endeavours, health and a good life.
Cheers.
Sincerely with all my respect
Emilio Hernández
