Re: Buy Softimage - > is this a real shop?

Just to be clear, by "interesting" I was referring to the software and it's features, and of course not the 'offer' which they could just take your money and send you a <no-relpy> thank-you note :) On 11/12/14 19:06, Jason S wrote: On 11/12/14 18:01, Eric Turman wrote: Seeing as you Autodesk has made it clear that only existing customers that are on maintenance can buy additional seats of Softimage and only for a little while longer, it should be pretty clear that this is a scam. Buying softimage to retire it, was itself a(n entirely legal) scam to get more money, (among other measures to come) Still it was funny to see how it would look like if it wasn't (wrongfully) not made available anymore :] That sure does looks like an interesting piece of software! Some of these one-liner bulletpoints really do mean alot or 'everything', such as; - Nondestructive 3D character rigging toolset - Skinning, weighting, and constraints - ICE and dynamic simulation and of course the most important (small) things aren't there.. (what makes it 'friendly' & fast)          On 11/12/14 18:01, Eric Turman wrote: Seeing as you Autodesk has made it clear that only existing customers that are on maintenance can buy additional seats of Softimage and only for a little while longer, it should be pretty clear that this is a scam.

And now somehow some people think all software have OEM versions at 1/10th of the price if you look around enough.
