Re: Any Dinosaurs Still Lurking?

Seems I have been on this list for nearly 10 years, so that doesn't qualify me quite as a dinosaur. Maybe one of those annoying chicken-sized ones? I don't use Soft anymore but I still lurk. Mostly it's a mix of Maya and Katana these days, but Houdini is likely around the corner for me. On Tue,

Re: Any Dinosaurs Still Lurking?

Not sure I qualify as a dinasour, but I'm still around. Although just like Alan, I moved to software development/pipeline. By the way, we are still using Softimage on Lego movies at Animal Logic (rigging, layout and animation), we have moved away on other IPs but lego stuff is still on the legacy
