Re: No -seriously, why don?t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Thank you for your reply Matt and very interesting details about the insides of the SDK. I still use mental ray for some things. So it´s all cool there :D Let´s tackle one question at the time: How possible is it to integrate 3 guys working on separate locations of the planet to ally and work and

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

I get the analogy of SDK on blackbox. Having no support at all is horrible. But people who made the jump, has had this experience already on their own DCC applications by now. Sorry, plain truth. How frikken hard could it be to extrude vector graphics? Walk along in Blender and Modo, and you´ll

Re: No -seriously, why don?t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

I am available for tool development if needed. I have extensive experience in most areas of the application as both a user and developer. I have experience with the SDK via scripting and C++, and have also written many mental ray shaders. Before you groan on mental ray, remember other tools

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Well modo did start as modeling tool alone, and lately trying to push in all in one DCC but will it get there.. hardly.. especially when there is no really reason for anyone to use it as all rounder with all the other tools there. ᐧ On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 9:53 PM, Jonathan Moore

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

I've been one of the Modo alpha/beta test team for a number of years now and can honestly say it's nowhere near being an XSI replacement. The good thing is that their new incremental development strategy has made Modo far less crashy but it has a long way to go in performance terms and the new

Hey team, thanks to all for your honest review on this thread. To answer some of the questions : Yes, I've walked with modo for 2 years (701,901) it"just" got good because of 10.02 enhancements for game engines (too bad I am not working on the same place as 2 years ago, I got limited access to

One of the only good things about the EDU slant on the Softimage EOL is that we are not legally allowed to teach an EOL software. As such we never had to agonize over having to move. There is a certain freedom in that. Moving to Maya has not been easy, but it has been somewhat mitigated by

Re: Hair material based on material per poly

Hi Pierre, Yes, I remember now. The one that inherits the texture from underlying polygon without having to apply UV is the very old hair version that's applied after the rendering, that post-processing one. Thanks a lot for the reply. On Wed, Jan 25, 2017 at 3:28 AM, Pierre Schiller <

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

I do believe that Fabric Engine could be leveraged to fill some gaps. It's never going to be ideal from a UX perspective and the biggest selling point for me of XSI has always been the UX; but some workable extensions could be implemented. All that being said, 80% of my time is spent in Houdini

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Hi, I'm not a developer but I write some stuff we need from time to time. I wrote and released a weights tool some time ago because we are still working in Softimage and we will be using it, even if partially, for at least a few years so I'm trying to make our current pipeline as comfortable

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Hi there, Going back to the original post, most of what you describe is not doable by individual developers working as freelancers (I'm assuming you are referring to integrating open source technologies like USD, OpenSubD, PTex and so on). These tasks are big and fairly involved, it's like asking

RE: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

If I understand correctly, projects don’t usually update their pipelines midway through production... I think some large projects take 1 to 3 years to make and choosing an app like SI or the competition at this moment of time that may or may not be on par to SI will still make a competitive

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

It is NOT Maya. No way. I switched FROM Maya to XSI for good reason. Going backwards was not of any interest to me. I had used Maya for almost 10 years before switching to Softimage. I knew that was now the direction I wanted to go in. I certainly have to do some things in Maya still, but that was

From my POV, I moved on years ago (right when the EOL was announced, for the most part) because the writing was on the wall. If I stuck with Softimage I would be delaying the inevitable, which is to say: having to learn a new app. It's going to happen that one day you will just not be able to

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

I have two views here. For personal work, I will continue to use XSI as long as it functions with my operating system. But I could never advise a studio of 3 or more artists to base their business model on an XSI based pipeline for all the reasons that Jordi Bares mentioned in a similar thread

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Just to give a different POV I would be very happy to support and pay for features added to Softimage. I know that a lot ppl say its time to move on Softimage is dead etc. but not all of us are working in a big Studio or as Freelancers. So for us as a small studio Softimage is still and will

Re: No -seriously, why don´t we GUMROAD for Softimage?

Although I like what you're trying to do, it's not really a viable option imho. I know we're all (still) reluctant to move on, but at some point we have to admit Softimage is falling behind the curve. Despite it's great workflow and ease of use. Not to mention the rapid decline of Softimage

Re: houdini stability

Funny, As I'm about to reply with nothing but praise for houdini, my houdini crashed. Cool thing is: it saved a backup as it crashed, and I lost nothing. I was being silly though. I was modelling while the redshift ipr was rendering. So yes, I'd say it is stable :) G -- Softimage Mailing
