Agree, AD should sell back Softimage to some serious developper company.
After all, SI is just a pluggin on their website.

A very good point Ed, as myself and others have been doing the same
thing.
Not wanting to make light of Stephens news, and whilst many are
understandably hung up on the negative impact to Softimage, there
have also been some other M&E names that have also fallen victim to
the 7%.
And that is all I'm willing to say for now, because if I said any
more I could probably get into serious trouble.
All this big company BS... I'm happy again to be a freelancer.
Can you ask your bosses if Softimage is for sale? Let's find some
russian oligarch willing to invest in 3d-software instead of a soccer
club. SI would be in better hands, I reckon.

I don't understand how this could have happened. How did they pick
the 7%? Did they blindfold themselves and throw darts at a an
employee chart? No disrespect to the good people that weren't part of
the 7%, but from a user's viewpoint it seems like they let go some
people who were more valuable than they could possibly imagine. I am
very sorry to hear about this.

I'm on boards with several others. This might be the tipping point
for me. Stephen & Manny were, without a doubt, the main reason I
continued to pay my subscription each year.
I've been evaluating options over the past couple of years, and while
I don't think there's anything nearly as good as Softimage, it's
burdened by a corporation that doesn't know it's @sshole from it's
elbow.
Stephen, please (if you feel like it) post other contact info to the
list so folks can stay in touch.
You have always been an extremely kind, thoughtful, patient and
helpful person (especially when dealing with someone like me). I
can't express enough how angry and saddened I am at this news.
I'm sure you realize it already, but there's an entire community here
that's ready and willing to help out in any way we can.
I wish you all the best in your future.
Paul
