Hello
My name is Alastair Hearsum. I'm head of 3d at Glassworks: http://www.glassworks.co.uk/ We use Softimage and as you may have heard Autodesk is discontinuing it. It has caused quite a furore amongst Softimage users , as you'd expect. I have already canvassed opinion from the SI users about their views on what they'll miss but I wanted to get a view from the "other side of the fence" as it were. The question is very specifically aimed at Maya users who have had Softimage experience or work alongside colleagues who use SI. The question is: Do you have a view on what SI features you envy and wish you had in Maya. If there are none then that is a valid answer. If you have some then please list your top 5 and a very brief description of why. For your information a summary of the Softimage users poll is: Clean elegant efficient user interface and logical workflow: enabling us to get things done quicker and with less pain. This so important and a really fundamental part of the fabric of the software. ICE: its seamless powerful and all pervading presence; everything can connect to and control everything else Render pass and partition system. It is absolutely robust and does all you expect. Indespensible. Live operator stack and construction history. Its all alive all of the time enabling highly complex layering of effects and processes Animation, modelling and rigging toolsets. They are peerless. Thankyou Alastair -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Python Programming for Autodesk Maya" group.
