Re: Maya Price

[Tenshi]

AD sucks and you recently noticed this?

They'll just milk the cow a few more years without caring for real benefits
for the users.

AD will going down. I don't care about Houdini but i know they doing great
things,  i don't like what Blender is but i know they're doing great things
too.

The only way i could see AD save their own neck from this pitfall is giving
new life to Softimage and Mudbox. Mudbox which btw they were doing some
refinements a few years helped by the users ideas now is dead, i don't
understand why they stopped development. This combo at a good price will
compete very well with other 3d apps.

The other way to safe this tragic is that AD create a new 3D app, new code,
new stuff, very well crafted from the beggining.

In other words. Your wallet will suffer year after year you know why? bcs
AD will never do something great again.

Forget about the AD quimera, put your money somewhere else believe me.

Luck!

Re: Softimage and Houdini work flow

Re: The Softimage mailing list

[Tenshi]

Interesting enough. This group can't die. Softimage will be alive forever.

I just want all the time people took to answer so many important questions
can't be erased. How do we save all the info? And how do we continue in
another place?

Something i like soo much about this group is that people help you almost
instantly. You know how many lives you have saved guys?

Thank you too all you who contribute and help.

Re: The Maya Chronicles - or how retarded that software is...

[Tenshi]

I just don't understand. This is like the Ufo thing, we know they're out
there but most people can't recognized or willing to understand there's a
possibility.
So why we all know Maya sucks and the so called "industry" keep accepting
this weird deform creature?

Why Softimage.. why..

Re: Softimage to Arnold going open source

[Tenshi]

Hope somebody help me with this.

I´m trying to build the addon from the github page, but when i try to run
as administrator the ´abuild.bat´, i see a pop up window open and then
immediately closes, i´m trying to run it from inside Softimage and from an
explorer folder, the same happens, but when i try to run it from the
´cmd.exe´, a message appears:

> *´python´ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
> program or batch file*
>

any ideas?

Re: // 3D Printing

[Tenshi]

Thank you guys for the recommendations!

There´s some guide to follow to do this correctly from Softimage? Talking
about the modeling, like.. i model the asset in quad, triangles, can i use
hard edges, and after that i export the asset in obj or fbx, open it in
meshlab/meshmixer. Anything i need to know before i began? Any advice?

// 3D Printing

[Tenshi]

Hi guys,

Hope somebody could enlighten me in this, i´ve never worked with 3D
Printing and Softimage, My client wants a model that´s going to be metal,
for what i know it´s a ´simple box´, soon i´ll have the Autocad plane with
all the dimensions.

 I´ll use Softimage to model this, but my client wants a ´.stl´ format.

How can i export this from Softimage?
There´s some free plugin? or Do i need to export an .obj/fbx file to
another software and convert it?

thanks in adv,

Re: Softimage to Arnold going open source

[Tenshi]

@Steven, sure i´ll do that. and hopefully will get surprises in the near
future. On thing that will be good to update it´s the user guide from web
and the pdf to reflect what have been done in the last years, most of the
techniques or info there are sometimes obsolete right now with the new
methods, shaders, workarounds ,etc. If you need help with that let us know,
more than willing to help.

One last thing, can you clarify if the last Sitoa version is ´4.1 with
core 5.0.1.1´? or core 5.0.2.4?

Re: Softimage to Arnold going open source

[Tenshi]

Hopefully from time to time you guys put at least half of the features from
the latest Mtoa inside. You all know why some of us still use Softimage
instead of Maya, a LONG list of reasons.
Thanks for let us keep the flame alive someway.

Re: Softimage to Arnold going open source

[Tenshi]

 I was always excited with each new update, even though there were very few
since last year. I was the one who bothered them on twitter every time to
include the same options that Mtoa had.
The program that gave them fame and money is now reduced to nothing. When
Mtoa was not even born, it was Softimage who started the Arnold revolution
in the eyes of many.

The least they could do is make it open source, something that Autodesk
does not have the eggs to do.
I am very upset now, but I partly understand the decision but I do not
share it.

Btw there's another one called..  NS_version by Niclas Schlapmann, and i
love the integration and stuff that has, but i hate how it changed your
softimage preferences, timeline, etc.

Re: Maya

[Tenshi Sama]

Why people think saying the truth is bad? In what world of dictators are we?

Saying the truth about Maya, is the best that people can do. Maya and the
s$iT that has inside is something people in the industry already know, is
just that people are afraid to express themselves or they haven't tried
other functional programs. They tend to live like zombies believing Maya is
a god that has imperfections that needs to be tolerated for the sake of
having a job.

Wrong people. Wrong. If all the people out there that think the same at
least put a complain to their supervisors everything, their supervisors
will speak to the above team, and the word will keep spreading until it
reach at the very top.
"Our designers, our people don't want to work with that piece of garbage!
Please do something".

Stop living in fear people. Say Maya is the WORST THING that happen to the
industry. AD is the worst thing that happen to the industry. Maybe just
maybe if we speak at high decibels AD will listen and for the love of god
they will FIX all those SIMPLE little things. WE DON"T WANT WORKAROUNDS, we
want the tool WORKS., that's all.

my 2cents,
sorry my grammar.

 I need to vent...

 You don't need to read that. I just needed to put it out there. It's a
 digital scream in the empty space.

 So I sit here setting up the lighting and rendering for a project and I
 am using Maya 2017 because I moved on and I am also a part of a pipeline
 so, the fact I am learning Houdini intensively is beyond the point here.
 Si, I set up very nice shader setup (not without problems, because why
 the FUCK not) in Redshift. All the bells and whistles of the engine are
 fine tuned but not in Attribute Editor because IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK as
 it should. But hey, I got Channel Box right, if it only showed ALL the
 parameters. So, hey I can always key the value and then fine tune, right?

 I know, I know, I know. I should update Maya to the newest version and
 then it should be ok. If it only weren't for the f... pipeline and mid
 project.

 Redshift guys said the custom AOV's should be soon, but I can't wait
 with this project. Hey, there is render setup; Let's use that.
 What a confusing piece of shit.
 You can make layers and override plethora of settings including object
 transform (IN RENDER LAYER SETUP - WHY!!!) but why for the MF I can't have
 different render settings. All I can have is an override for separate parts
 of it. Why is it better?
 Suddenly if I want to switch Brute Force off for AO layer and it
 becomes numerical value of 4. WHY? Because it's the number on the list. It
 took me a while.
 The best part is while working in pipeline you get different parts from
 different people. It can happen for someone to make a old layer override on
 object which according to Autodesk conflicts new Render Setup. The result -
 all shaders/materials/properties (what's the F... difference) are fucked on
 opening the scene. All I can see is green.

 Why do I have to click 3000 times to see the whole shader tree? Why
 can't it open all at once?
 Why shader group accepts connection just to drop them on reopening?
 (explanation is "yeah it does that for some nodes) It does that with
 AiWrite in Arnold for example. Why hypershade is such a lagy piece of shit.
 Copy paste works sometimes, not always. Why some nodes show up in material
 tab even though they're not a materials like displacement? Not to mention
 that when I have 100 materials I am unable to see which is selected.
 Highlighting sucks ass.


 Why do the material balls have to render ALL THE TIME.
 Why does Maya on startup open all the f... windows of other users?
 Why when trying to create a render node, whatever it is it always
 highlights me textures? I didn't ask for this and now I have to deselect it
 and then search for what I need.

 I set a project and it's location and when I open file it goes to the
 other project. WHY?
 And when I create preferences from scratch for 2017 maya (NOT COPYING
 THEM) it uses 2016 maya.env anyway.

 Whatever I do, there are preselections active and enhancements that are
 actually obstacles to overcome. They are annoying and interfere with my
 work all the time.

Hi guys, i searched for the OLD Softimage icon, i found a thread but i was
wondering if any of you have the same icon in a 128x128 size? There's only
a 32x32 in size?

-One more Q, I always delete threads i'm not in, but if i found one that i
want to reply, how i do it? Ffor example the softimage icon one, i can only

Re: SI on Windows 10 with anniversary update not working anymore? [solved]

[Tenshi Sama]

I had the SAME exact trouble with the ole32.dll corrupted too, plus the
crosswalk_blabla trouble.
At first i tried all the methods share by everybody on the web and
softimage support blog, etc. I uninstall and reinstall XSI like 5 times,
install last video drivers,etc..etc.

When i uninstall that thing Companion, i think everything went back to
normal. That shitty thing comes with *"K-Lite codec pack"* drivers and
install automatically, so beware people.

 Hi List,

 If I am right Softimage 2015 SP2 won´t start on actual Windows 10 +
 anniversary update anymore. Tested on my Workstation and my Notebook. On
 Startup I get a "Failed to save scene before system failure". Visual
 Studio Debugger says something with combase.dll, dont know if relevant,
 I am not a developer...

 Can somebody confirm this issue? Any workarounds other then back to Win
 7/8?

 Reinstallation didn´t help...

 This moment came faster than expected...

want to always modify it to see how the 2.2 render will be exported)


I've been trying to accomplished that but i can't get the same Render
Region color equal as the Preview Pass and the UI widgets colors.

Sitoa bake? Possible?

[Tenshi .]

Hello guys!

I want to know if there's a way or workaround to this. I want to bake a
scene to be able to work in Sketchfab, or preview it in pages with the same
function.

People will say, that i use MR to recreate everything, but that would be a
hard job since my scene is an interior scene with a lot of objects.

So please tell me there's a way to do this in Sitoa, right now :(

thanks in adv.

I have to agree. That's just only one example. AD lie all the time and hide
SI to the point people THINK it was very basic app. I hate when people tell
me "you can do that in Softimage?? I can do that in Maya very easy" and i'm

this since Methuselah".

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

@Stephen, i read your words, thank you! Your info save my ass for future
projects. For now they told me they'll use this on TV and some documentary,
so 24fps. but my issue will continue then. I can't render with Arnold that
thing, i already have all animated. Maybe it's some feature for the
SolidAngle team...

@Stephen, thank you for the insight. A lot of info i didn't know about.
This video it's for broadcast at 24fps. I think they will use this video
for youtube intros, and tv. So i guess i need to export this 2 times. 24fps
and a 30 or 60fps.
My next question will be... Does Sitoa support "Field Rendering"?  I'm
looking at the sitoa options and i cannot see that option.

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

Yes. Here's a capture. 4seconds(120frames) from left to right. My scene
24fps. The capture from viewport exported as a 24fps ".mov" file.
Notice how there's some little "skipping or jitter" in the letters that i
can't hide with MotionBlur. Another camera it's doing a more short movement
in 45degrees/3seconds from bottom to top and there's no skipping there, it
looks soft like silk..

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

Finally i added 1 more second, 4 in total from left to right. The same
thing still happening. I did add reelsmart motion blur in post(after
effects) but that doesn´t seem to fix anything just a little. Weird thing
is that when i open the ¨.exr¨ files, after effects recognize all the
sequence as a 30fps images. Why?  I have to add and put manually ¨interpret
as 24fps¨ inside,even if my composition is at 24fps.

@Laurence, i didn´t animate any field of view in Softi, all cameras are by
default. Maybe i need to close up and modify the FOV?

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

Stephen, that was something i though, too.. but first i needed to know if
was doing something wrong, i think i need to put some more frames or maybe
try the MotionBlur in After, because my pc can't handle MotionBlur in
Softimage and i need something good, quick and effective.
Thank you a lot!

Re: -Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

"Skipping" is the word i was trying to find. Exactly like that guys.
Just for making sure i'm not doing something wrong, i create another
Softimage camera, and one Arnold Camera, all with default settings, did the
same motion from left to right. 96frames at 24fps, the camera is close up
seeing some logo letters and when it travels through, it's difficult to
read the letters like they're skipping some frames. I did some flipbook at
24fps, and 30fps, but nothing.. with 24fps it's more noticeable and at
30fps it's less but even with that i see that "skipping".

In my scene i have 2 more cameras, My camB is doing some motion to show the
logo at 45degrees, have the same 96frames and looks better. My CamC is the
same looks even better because the logo is showing at the distance.

There's something i need to applied to the camera settings to see and read
better in a close up? Because right now it's only at default settings.

In fact i create a new scene, put some cylinders and did the same motion
from left to right at 24fps, but the same thing happen.

I haven't applied any other effect or motion blur.   Any Thoughts?

-Camera. Frames issues

[Tenshi .]

Hi,

hope you guys can help me on this.

I have a little scene, the camera goes from 0 to 96(left to right) at
24fps, it's a logo close up, When i see it in the flipbook or in after
effects there are some issues with the camera, i can't explain it, it's
like it's missing frames but it's not that. Like the camera it's skipping
some frames in the middle, i tried to convert the scene to 30fps, the
camera movement looks better(more fluid) but even with that it seems it's
skipping some frames.

There's a way to fix this? maybe some camera settings? btw I'm using the
default perspective camera. Using sitoa for Render.


thanks in adv.

we need to show them some love.

Re: Windows 10 - what's the current verdict.

[Tenshi .]

I think people always forget the 1st rule of "new things".
Wait people use it, read reviews, and WAIT the second or third wave of the
product. This applies from software to hardware.

At first i was like Windows 10 -¬- , then i began to read reviews and i
remember that rule, so i stopped my blindness, and said to myself. Wait
until the SP1 arrives, then read AGAIN and if it's good, change it. (win 8
sucks, i didn't bother applying that rule).

my 2cents,

Re: Softimage 2015 latest vs 2013 SP1?

[Tenshi .]

That story repeat in a lot of places, but at least we know we have a good
software in our hands.
Show your employers a Softimage reel and tell them how easy is the
Softimage route to create art, and if they want to go the Maya route well
it will took more time and a lot of effort. It's simple.

Re: Soft licenses still available for purchase?

[Tenshi .]

I was wondering, "What if" i tried to do some personal work with an illegal
softimage license for a product that is dead? Does AD police come to my
house? Or let's say..AD would not worry about it because they don't believe
in the "power" of Softimage, or i'm only in trouble if i use it for
commercial purposes?  Can at least AD let us use it for personal purposes
or reels for example? (yes i know there's a student version). But.. "what
if".  just saying..

Besides this whole situation THEY created is a disproportional mess from
every angle, at least they can try to open their bank account for a..
$1500+ new perpetual license? I can't die without getting one.. is just
that paying $3500+ for something i will not use, damn... are companies this
days are playing "take it or leave it" ?

I was saving for a Softimage license only, i thought i could get one from a
reseller but now it's clear that we need to spend 4k for a)software i don't
want. b)software that is already dead. This is real?
I want my machine to have at least one softimage license, not student or

Really i don't see what is the trouble selling a dead software, what is the
cost to that if they're saying those licenses are perpetual, so they don't
need any servers to keep checking online? .. I find this whole situation
absurd, really.
If we have money, we can't buy;, and if they gave us an option the only one

Re: Continued use of Softimage question

[Tenshi .]

I'm still using Softimage and i think i would not let it go for a long
time. Playing with Sitoa and now Redshift. Learning maya only for render
stuff, but that's the only use i could find for now.
As far as new software, the only one that's keeping me interested is Modo,
nothing more out there. Maybe the new app Syflex is building could help
some softimagers to transition, the bad thing is that it's aimed as an
animation app, nothing more for now, until it grows a lot and they put a
good simple interface and began to add a few modeling stuff, or
rendering...
Anyway. Softimage it's the only easy non-destructive for now.

 I´ve pretty much phased out using Softimage towards the end of last year.

 I still do have latest version(s) installed and make sure whenever I
 update the Redshift3D builds
 the Softimage plug-in(s) will be updated as well but my primary tool has
 become Maya.

 It took me roughly six months to come to terms with the transition, using
 mostly the Maya 2015sp6Ext1
 on projects plus some dabbling with Maya2016+Maya2016sp1. For rendering,
 on projects usually Arnold
 and at home for my doodling and learning Redshift3D.

 I´ve still an active subscription contract for many AD 3D applications and
 will probably extend subscription
 for another year (not jumping to desktop subscription, I mean I will
 probably just get myself the updates to my packages)
 until around beginning of 2017.

 That´s the limit I have given myself to finally start looking into
 Cinema4D or Houdini. Or Modo.
 All that is not really based on personal preferences but on available jobs
 and requirements for those jobs.

 For fun, I do a bit of 3D scanning and am starting to like 3D Coat 4.5.x
 for merging my crappy partial 3D scan data
 into a starting point for a complete mesh using voxel tools.

Re: So this is where the MeshMixer dev has been hiding? Nice presentation.

[Tenshi .]

 hands required or performance may suffer...

 This kind of development result is not unique to Maya.

 We have an airport in progress here in Berlin that suffers from the same
 21st century approach to problem solving.

 Breaking up things into seemingly simple tasks, making a bullet point list
 and then just checking off each of those tasks when completed
 doesn´t automatically result in a working result at the end. That´s just
 21st century pencil pushing and leads to depreciated results,
 completely ingoring any higher levels of task dependencies for a
 successful completion.

 That´s not the fault of the worker bee.

 It´s the fault of the guy signing off the budget based on a bullet points
 simply omitting:

 -quality control
 - test
 - additional rd
 - test
 - v 2.0
 - test
 - ...

 from that bulletpoint list.

 That´s the cost intensive, tedious and boring part of creating  a
 BroomPan that may actually work as needed,
 even if all that has changed in the end is that finally, the cord is
 longer. It can be very tempting to instead go ahead,
 ignore the Pan problem completely and just sweep things under the rug...

 Personally I think your proposition would be a bit clunky based on my
 interactions with the leapmotion apps so far, perhaps some hands open
 and hand close to mimic a select and move and then you could repose
 the position, open your hand it stays..?  but for sure some more
 intelligence behind the gesture you are trying to communicate and the
 action you are trying to call is needed as its pretty hit  miss in
 recognizing hand shapes and orientation after a very short while of
 use and it seems so far, limited to one dimensional kind of state
 toggles at a time.   also its kind of a1/2 metre square over your
 keyboard and your hands get tired flapping around above there after a
 while.

 but this should all be doable / hackable with fabric as they have the
 connections all coded up already , no?  I think its definitely some
 kind of future but its very early days in the interaction side of
 things imho

 ps. touch..? you would have to be controlling inside SI's 3D space an
 object by the leapmotion, yes is possible, but would you also not have
 a collision detection on top for this kind of interaction to work?

 comp.

 Here's some of the more interesting ones I think (excuse the compression):

 Full cg env and destruction. Redshift+ICE instance scattering achieved
 the level of detail, comped using deep data to combine Redshift and Mantra
 smoke renders. RS frame time was about 20 minutes on this, which is the
 highest I've ever reached with Redshift I think.

 This is a face wound-type thing in a dream sequence, Soft+Redshift
 https://app.frame.io/f/e7740833-7faa-4e13-a92e-b0be2f75f3b0

 All the underwater environments in this sequence is full cg combined with
 some green screen uw-plates of the actress. The entity is made with a bit
 of ICE strand magic. Soft+Redshift, RS really has awesome volumetrics btw.
 https://app.frame.io/f/680ec84a-573d-4e9f-b0e3-9d68a0c3ad3a (with sound,
 without grade)

 And about 300 other shots.. =)

 We worked for ~8 months with a core team of 3 artists including myself,
 and a few more for shorter periods. I also supervised the vfx on the show,
 which was a true pleasure! Can't imagine a better tool for the job than
 Soft and RS, it's quite remarkable how well they work together, it's all
 rendered on cheap GTX780's as well.

 So Softimage is alive and well over here at least! The Maya licenses
 doesn't even work as a door stop, not sure why we keep them around really.

 We'll do a proper reel for the whole season soonish, hope you like it!

Re: Is purchasing a new softimage license impossible?

[Tenshi S.]

I just wish people post other software related topics in their own thread.
A Softimage  Transition thread would be best suited, but like i said
before having a lot topics of the same thing, just makes me sad and anger,
because at the end Autodesk win. =/ . So if the Softimage community wants
to stay as it is, let's help organize this. Just one thread for transitions
would be more helpful than 20 of them mention other software's, besides
that, it would be the best to have only Softimage related topics as the
main threads here; and when the times come people move on to other
forums/mailing list that talks of their new favorite software. Best of both
worlds and opinions, is that too much to ask?

 Wow, this is quite a thread now.
 My original question was just about options for acquiring new softimage
 licenses, which was answered pretty quickly by Stephen, Maurice and others.

 It's interesting that the majority of the ~50 replies are arguments for
 and against talking about software other than Softimage, based on a single
 post mentioning blender as a possible alternative at least for some tasks -
 since after next year buying new softimage seats will be impossible...

 I would make a guess that the debate about whether or not it's ok to talk
 about alternatives to Softimage has created more noise and off-topic
 discussion on the thread than any mentions of people's personal experience
 as they try to transition to other tools.

 Personally, and without wanting to offend anyone, I came to the list for
 the collective knowledge sharing of a bunch of experienced pros. Now that
 Softimage is EOL it would be nice to channel all of that knowledge and
 professionalism into fruitful discussion about how we move on in our work
 with and without softimage.

 Sadly, and knowing there are a lot of emotions involved since the
 Softimage EOL (I was very pissed), the bickering to useful info ratio is
 greatly tilted toward bickering.

 Not sure what can be done about that other than to ask folks to chill and
 be nice to each other, try to stay on topic and avoid long existential
 arguments about what the list is even for. I see nothing like this on any
 of the other mailing lists I'm on.

 If it keeps up I think the membership of the list will dwindle. It's
 saddening to dig through all the bickering to get to the helpful responses,
 know what I mean?

 Anyway, my opinion take with salt.

 I would agree with you purists, if Softimage were still under
 development, but it isn't.

 Threads like this: Any equivalent to Custom Param sets in Maya? is
 something that you can only discuss with Softimage users.

 We all are going to stop using Softimage sooner or later and having a
 wider view of what can you do with other tools from a Softimage user point
 of view is something you won't find anywhere else.

Re: Is purchasing a new softimage license impossible?

[Tenshi S.]

A valid point, and one that i support entirely. I enter here a while ago,
because of Softimage, not because of Maya or Blender, if i would like to
hear about those app i would go to the proper forums/mailing list, etc.
Everytime i come to gmail and verifiy my forums section, i encounter a few
topics about other things that are not Softimage related. What it's the
meaning of this mailing list, then?

One thing i support too it's a thread dedicated only to people who are
migrating or finding solutions, but one thread only, not 20 of them saying
Maya it's better because of this, and Blender do amazing cycle renders
and blabla.

Another thing it's threads dedicated only to Maya/Blender/3Dmax 
Softimage interaction, that's something you really want to learn about it
and deserves their own thread.

C'mon guys, we know Softimage it's EOL, but that doesn't mean we need to
keep killing it.
You know that maybe this mailing list it's the only place aside from a few
forums to talk and keep learning about Softimage?

 I side with Sven on the matter.

 People seem to have confused the concept of forum with mailing list.  If
 you want to discuss anything and everything, go to a forum as it's designed
 for that sort of thing.  people can view only what they desire to view and
 easily ignore what they don't care about.  Migration, plugins, tutorials
 for product X, and whatever will surely be welcomed there.

 A mailing list is intended for narrow on-topic discussion and not much
 else because any content submitted is distributed to the entire community
 intended or not.  Having a lot of non-topic discussion on a mailing list is
 synonymous to being loud and rude in a library while people are trying to
 read and study.  While some tangents are OK to keep things interesting,
 let's try to keep the balance in favor of on topic discussion.  Lately the
 noise has been higher than the signal.

 Softimage may be EOL, but some of us must continue using it for an
 indefinite period of time.  When trying to find solutions to problems in a
 timely manner using the archives or direct help from the user base, we
 don't need our few remaining channels of support clogged with noise causing
 a potential solution to be missed in sea of false positives.

 Then I'd like change wewith me in my statement if you feel more
 comfortable with it. I do respect you the same way as I respect the list.
 This list is the most proficient source of information in a same way a
 platform for professionals is meant to discuss even everything else. That?s
 my point.  This is the softimage mailing list. I read maya topics all the
 time. 3Dsmax, for gods sake and will tolerate it. And Houdini? Well, it's
 very welcome and Modo for sure. But discusing freeware? C'mon!

 Well the problem I had was not actually arguing with specific modeling in
 Blender but the promotion of it in this list. I do not think this is the
 right place to promote software.

 Hey Sven,

 I'm not sure you have the right to police this list like that. I don't
 mind if this kind of stuff is posted here. So when you use the word we
 I'm not sure who you're speaking for but it certainly isn't the whole of
 this list.

 Anyone wanting to share new ways of working and tools should be able to.
 This wasn't forbidden before the EOL for Softimage so it shouldn't be now.
 Especially since the EOL.

Re: Is purchasing a new softimage license impossible?

[Tenshi S.]

Maya has nice tools now, but those things are on top of each other, it
sacrifice stability, interaction, and the intuitive way of thinking for new
features, so i don't like that. I prefer Softimage for modeling, because
it's robust, solid, stable and easy to handle. Maya does the same thing but
the path it's long, with Softimage you'll take the shorter route.

 Apparently Blender has some great modelling tools. Just to preface...this
 is not the off the shelf Blender. You need to dig around and install a
 bunch of scripts and plugins to get it there. A guy at my office has been
 using it for some time and swears by it. He has the whole thing, plugins
 and scripts wrapped together in a zip that he's willing to hand off...he's
 giving me a demo on Monday. The really nice thing about it is that you can
 run the software from the archive/zip. no install needed. So you can work
 literally anywhere on any computer as long as you have access to import the
 folder from usb or the cloud. Don't think you'd even need admin rights to
 run it.



 I'd be happy to give a review after my demo and supply people with the zip
 if they want it. The stuff is free and this artist is trying to promote it.

 I know some people who like modeling in Softimage and at least in a game
 pipeline it's still pretty easy to model in whatever package and then push
 through to the mainline pipeline in Maya or Max or whatever.

 We were wondering is there NO way at all to obtain new licenses for
 Softimage now? I.e. if someone goes to a new employer and wants to obtain a
 seat of Softimage, is that impossible?



 I wondered how that works since Animal Logic is still working in Soft and
 must grow their license pool as shows ramp up, right?

 Or do they have a special deal with AD?

Re: Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[Tenshi S.]

Hi, i'm not into coding, but if it's something easy as replacing some lines
i could try. I've using the Softimage 2014SP2 as my base, i have installed
the 2015(soon i'll update that), for Mudbox i have the last 2014, and the
last 2015 versions. I'm not planing to use Softimage 2015 until SP2 comes
out, so i would love to send files from Mudbox 2015 to Softimage 2014, and
viceversa. I know in practice it's impossible but in theory what you say
could work.
Hope you could remember what you need to do or test that again, it could
help a lot of guys here. Thanks,

  Good? Bad? Adobe to be the next Autodesk-Evil-Corp-Inc?

Softimage Icon Removed from Mudbox?

[Tenshi S.]

I was wondering if they can maintain integration with the last Softimage
2015SP2 version?
...or they will release Softimage 2016 as the last version? That's the
least thing they can do.

Holy Sheeet!
This is amazing! Great use of strands there. Softimage smiles to the
community again.

 Hey,

 Just sharing our latest and probably last big Softimage production here
 in Mathematic, Paris, France.

 https://vimeo.com/121486534 ( Director's cut )
 https://vimeo.com/121821635

 Everything was done in SI, except keyframed animation in Maya, no mocap (
 which is ironic since most of the time SI is primarily used for animating
 things ).

 I was in charge of most of the technical aspects as well as all the VFX.
 Anthony LYANT was in charge of most of the shading, lighting, rendering.
 Patrick LOUISE-ALEXANDRINE did the stadium rig and attended to every
 little things Tony and I were too busy to do.
 I also worked on the competition to win the project with director
 Sebastien CANNONE. This here is his Director's cut, I am unable to find the
 regular version I saw last before my contract ended. Not sure what the
 second link is supposed to be, really.

 Total time : a little more than a month, with almost no SI pipeline so we
 had to think and put one together, fast ;)
 Render engine was Arnold.

 Hope you like it. I can't shake the feeling that this is my Softimage swan
 song, despite working on a few other minor things right now using SI...

Re: Will there be an SP2 for Softimage 2015?

[Tenshi S.]

who can? xD

Anyway, so there's no news about a good definitely SP2 version coming out
this year.
It's so hard for AD to ask SI developers to include and fix everything they
can and give SI a proper end? That at least would clear their names. (just
a little.)

 bet is that probably wont be one at all. AD didn't really look at SI
 even when it wasn't completly killed, you really think they will spend a
 single sec more on it :P

 Hi Maurice.,

 Can you confirm if there will be an SP2 for Softimage 2015? Most of the
 times the SP2 are the best out there to work in production.

 HI Eric,
 I am not sure about the status of the bug you reported, you had best
 contact support for that while still on Subscription. Your current license
 for Softimage is perpetual so you can continue to use it even if you do not
 renew subscription. If service packs are issued they are made available to
 all license holders whether they are on Subscription or not. Only
 extensions are reserved for Subscription customers and we are not
 developing new extensions for Softimage.
 Hope that helps

 I had posted a replicable and verified bug regarding the fact that a
 few--and likely many--commands do not iterate over multiple deltas attached
 to a reference model. While I have no idea if that bug is a low enough
 hanging fruit to fix before all of us lose support in 2016, I also have no
 idea whether or not we will even be seeing an SP2 for Softimage. As my
 subscription is coming due in a couple months, I am wondering if it will
 even be worth it. It certainly is not worth it for Maya (even with
 Bifrost.) Also I am still unclear as to the status of the permanent license
 of Softimage if I do another subscription.

 Thanks,
