I know, right?

It's like someone had their pet murdered and minced by the vet who was saying 
"it's nothing, don't worry, he'll be fine", and a few years later they would 
still resent a lying, puppy killing vet.
In that story the vet also invoiced and got paid several times over while he 
was beating the puppy's corpse (and allegedly having necrophiliac farm sex with 
it, but it's never been proven).
In the vet's defence, he did send a leprous, blind Labrador that routinely 
shits on the carpet as a replacement for the puppy, and insisted it's much 
better and only going to get even better with age.

I totally can't see why or how people would be upset after all this time ;)

Buying softimage to retire it, was itself a(n entirely legal)

Still it was funny to see how it would look like if it wasn't

That sure does looks like an interesting piece of software!


Some of these one-liner bulletpoints really do mean alot or

- ICE and dynamic simulation


and of course the most important (small) things aren't there..

It's a con based on people having learned that there is was OEM
version of DOS/Windows that does't come with a DVD or manual and is

And now somehow some people think all software have OEM versions at

Oh! But I'm only given duct tape and WD-40 to make things work.

[Ed Manning]

from their FAQ: *Is there a need to register on the manufacturers website?*

As we sell OEM programs, we have already registered our software and so
there is no need for you to do this again.
uh-huh...

RE: softimage 2015 and Vista

[Sven Constable]

If its for a render farm you can install windows7 on as many machines you like. 
You just need a working serial, eg. from one of the workstations where you 
already bought a legal copy of windows for. It's a bit shady but not illegal I 
think. You just don't activate it and it will not stop working. After the grace 
period certain things stop working like windows aero and the desktop background 
turns black and things like that to prevent users to actually work with it 
conveniently. And it's not possible to receive windows updates after that 30 
days. But usually no one logs in on render nodes (except remotely once in a 
while). Usually these machines have no internet connection either.

 

Making a sysprepped image of windows7 however is a bit more hassle than it was 
with XP64 but it's possible to include everything in a sysprepped image like 
windows key, language setting, timezone, workgroup  etc. Even the annoying 
thing that windows7 forces you to create an additional user at first boot time 
can be skipped.  So after you deployed the image on the render nodes you only 
have to set the machine name once.

softimage 2014 was not supported under Vista, however you could install it on 
it... which was, like nice.  It would not be bad if I had to buy 1 or 2 copies 
of windows 8 but it is quite a bit more than that.

But according to this:

it's Win7 and up. Time to let go and move on ;-P

Hi,
Yes, it's the "deform/shape/select shape key" method

Blendshapes workflow - alternative to Shape Manager?

[Nicolas Esposito]

Hi guys,

I'm getting used to the blend shapes in Maya, but I'm still slow with
modeling, so I'm mostly using Softimage for modeling.
Since I have lots of blend shape to create and I don't want to go back and
forth from Softimage ( modeling ) to Maya ( assign blendshapes ) is there a
similar way to setup blend shapes in Softimage?

Means that I create variations of the same mesh ( so meshes with the same
number of polys/vertex ) and later I add those meshes to the shape manager
or any other tool that works similar to the blend shape manager in Maya.

Cheers

Nicolas
