Still using XSI, rendering in Redshift, though with RTX/Optix/etc., much of
that might soon switch to Unreal Engine (which is already our primary
visualization platform).

Heartbreaky indeed.

I'm still using it but moving to Cinema4D (and Houdini) for freelancing now
and finding with great reluctance that although a lot of the workflow isn't
as good as Soft, there are so many tools that are miles ahead. The C4D
splines toolset alone is a massive time saver. Soft was really neglected in
some areas.

Soft is my main 3d tool (fnar) still. Other than a big shift to After
Effects. My head appears to not understand most other 3d apps
unfortunately, and when working alone, there's no-one to bounce questions
off.
