My first version of Softimage. I got the educational version while in a
University that was fortunate enough to have both Maya and Softimage
classes. I learned both at the same time.
I still have that T-shirt.
It's not a DS shirt, it's a SIGGRAPH '98 T-shirt with logos from all the
Softimage products on the front (DS, 3D, Sumatra, Eddie, Toonz, ...), and a
huge ugly banner on the back advertising Softimage at Siggraph.
Very fruitful year for Softimage swag.

The logic is the menu shows the shading mode that will become active when you
middle click the menu. If no mode had been chosen yet, then it can't be

Yes, it was only the case before the first switch, but that is exactly the
problem as not all viewports will endure a switch.
It's very common to change shade mode in viewport B
ago, you're not going to remember which viewports have had shade mode
changes and which haven't, in which case seeing WIRE vs. SHADE when two
adjacent viewports use the same shade mode will be disorienting.

It's definitely a quirk.
When you launch the application the title bar shows “WIRE” as the shade mode.
Which it is. But when you toggle to SHADE mode, it still shows WIRE
. The bug is the initial value is WIRE when it
should be something else, OR, change the logic to show the current mode
instead of the toggled mode.

$500 for the first year, and $250 / year thereafter, it is a steal! It
saved my business!

Thanks :)
Also on rendering side,
there is a new Octane with deeper integration with render region support,
deformation motion blur, rendermapping and a bunch of new features.
There's also an apparently equally excellent integration of Cycles
already working for SI ,
with GPU support
Very cool! Glad to see people are still building tools for our beloved :)

The funny thing is the first port of Softimage|3D to NT in 1995 had the IRIX
UI, but it was changed to the windows-95 look with the next release because

Having grown up with the Irix version I actually didn't like the UI version
for NT :) The buttons reminded me a bit of the ugliness of 3D Studio.

It's nice to see a screenshot from a time before I went into 3D. Now I'm not
feeling very old anymore. Just a bit... old. ;)

That was largely a marketing decision. You have to remember the
circumstances of the time:
Due to being late to market with Sumatra and trailing Maya by 2 years,
Softimage had to make some sales concessions to stop the bleeding
bug-fix service
pack and not generate any sales interest. So they upped it to 4.0.

So version
So version 3.9.3 was officially released as version 4.0. Not entirely correct
procedure, I would say ;)
