Re: SOFTIMAGE|UeberTage 2014...any interest??
..I get your point...but that´s said much easier than to realized... general interest in Softimage is falling rapidly.. Like I said, I have a big lag on sponsors right now, so it I need to talk to other people than before. I guess 1-2 presentations concerning other software would be OK, don´t you think...? Making of´s should stay Softimage only for this year..I hope ;) By the way: If anyone is interested in holding a presentation, feel free to get in contact with me!! cheers, oli Am 05.06.2014 10:31, schrieb olivier jeannel: I agree with Eric, although I won't be there.

I had a great time last year by the way, Oliver does a magnificent job at putting this event together ;) On 3 June 2014 17:25, Angus Davidson angus.david...@wits.ac.za wrote: While I can understand Eric’s point of view the harsh fact is this. Just like in the EDU sphere when it comes to funders Softimage is EOL and by that virtue not worth putting money into. There is a much better chance of getting funding by having a more general event. The question is wether this is acceptable of course ;) From: Stephan Haitz sha...@3d-agenten.de Reply-To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Date: Tuesday 03 June 2014 at 4:16 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: SOFTIMAGE|UeberTage 2014...any interest?? Ok you are right. Thought more of a look here, what do you think about that thing sort of discussion. But religious but my is the best things are surely not what we want (apart from SI, of course :-) ) . Thought about keeping the uebertage alive in a future with less and less SI-Userbase... And Eric you know: I will use Softimage furthermore, cause at the moment, I can´t see anything better or even equivalent. When I do have to learn a new software it has to be really an improvement to Softimage (from the small studio / allrounders view). Ahem, I really would prefer to have a pure Softimage user meeting and not some melting pot of X different 3D apps/users and all the *my-software-is-the-best-because-blabla* discussions. Why is everybody talking about transitioning? Is anybody seriously afraid that Softimage will be out-of-date by the end of the month or what? Honestly, if there are going to be Cinema 4D, Houdini, Max/Maya, Blender, etc. presentations ... wtf? Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the apps nor their users, it's just that it's seems wrong to me to have them at possibly one of the last XSI events.
