Re: The Softimage mailing list

[Royston Michaels]

Thank you to you all in this awesome community. From every single post, I
have gained sooo much knowledge.
Having to switch from Soft to Maya and then to teach it to students, I
can't believe that I still have hair on my head.
Slowly moving to Blender as it looks very promising(even my students find
it a joy to work in than Maya)
and hoping it could be the new Soft... fingers crossed... please share the
link to the google group... I will follow you...
follow you wherever you will go 

Re: The Softimage mailing list

[Tim Crowson]

I hate maya. It can’t handle anything. It is a daily pain in my ass.

On occasion I’ll run into someone here in Van who has a Soft background,
and naturally no one else around us will know what we’re talking about,
because all they have been exposed to is Maya. I hate to see it all finally
wind down.

A sad day indeed, thanks for keeping it ticking over as long as you have,
I've learnt a huge amount from here over the years!

Moving on with a mix of Maya, Houdini and blender, still nothing comes
close to the simplicity and logic of xsi.

The Softimage mailing list

[Luc-Eric Rousseau]

Hi.

The 11th anniversary of the Softimage acquisition, and therefore this
version of the list, has come and gone last month.  I started working at
Softimage in 1997, and it's been part of my life ever since.  My black
t-shirts are faded, and my children recently found some XSI "tattoos" and
magnets in the basement which they used for Halloween.  Odd bits of
Softimage memorabilia are spread around the house that only Dad can
identify.

Every once in a while, I can sense IT sniffing around looking for old
servers to retire. The Softimage mailing list server is some kind of Linux
VM that I think continues to work as long as it doesn't bother anyone.

I think it's time to think about switching the list over to the google
group that archives it before the plug gets pulled on us. One would join
that group to post and get future emails rather than the list. There may be
other resources people want to share to stay in touch, such as LinkedIn
groups, and si-community.com, etc.
