My question is where will you transition to. If you don't transition, no need to vote. I get that it hasn't fallen yet necessarily, but it's only a matter of time for reasons revealed today. When it happens, where will you go? That is my question. I will stick with Soft for personal stuff too

I think Allan wants to know with the poll the migration to software that will be available in the future, which is something everybody on the user list should be interested. I think that, as a softimage user is pretty important to see where all the majority of users or studios would migrate,

Well yes. Putting into that perspective the poll. It is fine then. I will migrate when I find that something is better. But I believe that adding such option will give a more clear result of what is going on with us. And leaving out the stick to Softimage option kind of biases the poll IMHO.

I will stick with SI for modeling. I think Maya still has to improve a lot to match SI in that aspect. Modo seems like a good alternative for modeling but I doubt it will offer more than the last Softimage any time soon. I work for games but since I don't own a game publisher company, I really
