SI, Ice & Redshift for me. Trying hard to force myself to get some
interests for Houdini and C4D, but they give me half the hard-on...

Marc-Andre,
The others you mention (Octane, Brigade...) are progressive renderers
only, and have other limitations that make them tricky to implement
effectively in animation pipeline. Redshift was designed from day one
as a bucket-based production renderer for animation, and to be
integrated into common DCC apps. We've been using it at Magnetic for
over two years now, and I can't overstate how much of a difference it
has made for us. I think they'll continue to support Soft as long as
there is demand for it. I spoke with the Redshift guys at Siggraph
and they seemed to be getting some really great traffic. I couldn't
begin to make any guess on what the future holds, but I'm optimistic.
Those guys are awesome.
Not sure what the Arnold plan is.

Redshift is very fast and without any glitches that we used to
experience with MR.
The only problem I see going forward is, we know and they know Soft
is a dead end, their focus
in Redshift's development will with Maya, 3D max, C4D Houdini etc.
And who can blame them.
So far they have been excellent to deal with on every level.
So I see for us Soft will be good for another 2-3 years.

Hi guys,
Not being in the hi-res movie/ad industry anymore, I'm pretty
surprised RedShift seems to have taken a place quite quick in your
heart and more importantly in your pipeline. Of course the closer to
real-time you get and the cost lowering Redshift provides is
definitely interesting but I could not have predicted that Redshift
would be such a game changer, at least for Softimage users.(I don't
know about the other DCC users as I don't hang that much in 3D forums.
Where is that taking you? I mean, what do you guys see as the next
step? I heard Octane is pretty slick too but have you checked out
Brigade?
Is Arnold working towards this direction as well?

We’re still a Softimage pipeline, and just like most who are
replying, the main reason is for the ease in lighting, rendering,
and pass setup.
We have an Arnold renderfarm but we are finding ourselves using that
less often in favour of Redshift.
Houdini is on our radar and we’ve been tinkering with it, and we
have a Modo license but haven’t had the time to even install it.
Overall I think that we are still more efficient using Softimage as
it is, than we would be switching to a newer workflow, which
(without wanting to start that whole discussion again) speaks
volumes about the quality of Softimage, bearing in mind that we can
assume its development essentially finished 5 years ago!
Cheers,
Jean-Louis

Hi all,
After a stint out of the Softimage fold - mainly in setting up a
Houdini rendering and VFX pipeline somewhere, and now I am at Axis
animation, doing pipeline tools and setup - I wanted to get a feel
for this -
Who in the world is continuing to use Softimage? Who might still
be on the lookout for high end Soft Riggers, pipeline, tools etc...?
Just wondering, as I consider the future for myself and family.
Thanks
Sandy
