Different software for different tasks and just pick the best Software available at the time, total compartmentalization.
example ( / slashes = "or" ) Modeling (Softimage/Blender +Marvelous Deisgner) Sculpting (Mudbox/ZBrush/Blender) Retopo (ZBrush/Houdini) UV's (semi-automated via Houdini) Painting (Mudbox/Substance) Rigging+Animation (Houdini/Akeytsu) everything else i.e. Shading/Lighting/Hair/Dynamics/etc. (Houdini/Unreal Engine 4 + Add-ons) There will never be a replacement for Softimage and what it meant to us. The above example is at least a high quality replacement for modern times, fully powerful and optimized for each individual task and you can always swap out a part or add in an extra piece.
