Looking at the bright side, at least here in Japan, Softimage is still very
popular. J
All jobs - VFX/Animation/etc pretty much all of the big players who used to

To use another analogy: instead of desperately trying to beat the world
champion in sprint (or, talking Maya, hurdles...), Softimage should
maybe become a decathlete.
Score overall, if you know what I mean.
Look at all the others, Houdini, Cinema, Modo, Blender... all growing

Tomorrow when the world doesn't end, the Mayas will be revealed for what
they are. A bunch of unreliable, old-fashioned unstable pricks who
can.t even predict the end of the world.
If the world ends, this discussion is moot.

Hey Sandy,
from what I´ve seen in your posts on this list, I would imagine

Guys, don't forget Montreal. Hometown of Softimage.
Nearly half the studios here are Softimage. Hybride, Shed, Oblique, Vision
Globale, Rodeo FX, Modus FX, Fly Studio, Fake Studio...etc...
So if you ever want to move somewhere and keep using Softimage, consider
Montreal!

Just the other day I was told there’s only ONE major company left using

To follow Stevens comments below, we also know that Suites are very much a
focus for Autodesk. Suites aren't for everyone, granted, but Softimage is an
important benefit for Suites. So we are trying to do more and we are pushing

Montreal is comfortably bi-lingual, but less so off of the island. As long
as you make the effort to learn some french, people are very helpful.
I don't think I've ever seen 2m of snow here, but that's not to say there's
not a lot of it. However, the city does a phenomenal job of clearing it -
Montreal is a bilingual city. You can work in English without a problem but if
you really want to get the full cultural experience then I'm sure you'll want
to learn a few words!
About the snow... you know the globe has been warming up quite a bit...but
still who am I kidding. 20cm tomorrow!
Here in Budapest 5 mm of snow kills the traffic. Instantly.

2m of snow is an exaggeration. Maybe 0.5m, but the city is very used to

Also in downtown, a lot of buildings are connected underground so you can

If you find an Englishman in Montreal, it's invariably because he's married

Hi all,
