That's too bad. This is rough market. There's not much money in developing better solutions. I guess we'll ride out our DCC's with ancient architecture, and wait till one of us becomes a billionaire and funds something cutting edge. I'd love to here more of the story of what happened from some

Bump on this... Is anyone bowing out of the Softimage arena and would like to kindly sell their license? I'm finally in a position that I can force it's use in a studio. I've been hammering AD about buying some licenses but they're being AD. Let me know. Michael On Fri, Jun 16, 2017 at 1:25

I'm still holding out that fabric engine will become a solution for rigging. It's not all that magical for something complex in Maya. Which as I'm sure several of you have discovered is a bit of a Maya problem. I can paint weights and build a rig in Maya using fabric to do all the heavy work.
