Was a very sad year for the Softimage community as a whole. The EOL while not unexpected was handled very badly and gave particularly the EDU sector very little wiggle room. On the positive side I got to get in contact with a great many more educators using softimage and feel as though while the news might have been bad the overall effect has been positive.
There are a lot of challenges in broader vfx industry and its very important that educators are responsible about the people we add to this mix. The more we communicate the better overall we will be at that . The EOL has definitely helped with this. I have no plans to leave the list as I feel that the combined expertise and helpfulness on the list is virtually impossible to replicate anywhere else. For a lot of us we also have the shared experience of moving to, or at least a partly using other DCC's . I think its important that we continue to support each other as much as we can. Hope everyone has a blessed , awesome , ass kicking, GPU enhanced 2015 Kind regards Angus ________________________________ From: Morten Bartholdy [x...@colorshopvfx.dk] Sent: 02 January 2015 02:16 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Spam:Re: Softimage mailing list year in review He - I still make it into top 20.
