Re: Softimage - not going away...

On a brighter note, you won't need the NVidia Apex clothing plugins to set up cloth in UE4 anymore, at least if I get their claims right for version 4.18

Re: Softimage - not going away...

Jordi Thanks for the input, your 'point list' is very well thought out. I think I'm covered (UE4 side for realtime and Houdini for composited works). I'd give a point for serious Cross-Platform support (OSX, Linux). I think I might even give more than 1 point to open standards support (in

RE: Softimage - not going away...

Seems like open source is the best 3D software model to make something float indefinitely regardless of market trends. Hope FE does that…. Unless they got bought out or something. -Draise From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com

Re: Softimage - not going away...

Although I understand where you are coming from the minimising risk side, it is also true that you end up investing a lot more in both, the software and glue to communicate various software applications with a myriad of file formats and what not, therefore I advocate for a hybrid approach in

Re: Softimage - not going away...

Investing your time into mastering the totality of one major software is risky. The specific example that I want to test in the coming months doesn't seem unreasonable for one person (and you could swap the parts out to suit your tastes/budget/needs/prior experience) (but please critique the

Re: Fabric engine is gone

I agree with everything you said.. And I'm also saddened to see fabric close-up it's doors, especially in this already diversity deprived environment. & all the best to the FE team! On 10/27/17 17:59, Jonathan Moore wrote:

Re: Softimage - not going away...

Jordi, what you just stated is exactly why I suggest that 'we' need to stop looking at things as a Softimage replacement where you do the majority of your work, from start to finish, inside of one application. We have to pretend we are big studios, split everything into smaller parts, using a

Re: Softimage - not going away...

It is clear to me that developing a new 3D application is extremely expensive and the size of the market just does not justify the effort, which is the reason it was so very disheartening when AD killed Softimage.. Building anything similar to Softimage would cost a fortune to barely make a

Re: Fabric engine is gone

That's too bad. This is rough market. There's not much money in developing better solutions. I guess we'll ride out our DCC's with ancient architecture, and wait till one of us becomes a billionaire and funds something cutting edge. I'd love to here more of the story of what happened from some
