Last night I have a revelation. I see why Autodesk killed Softimage. Guys,
honestly how many of you can work with a standard, out of the box Softimage? I
suppose most of us could work without any serious effort. I think the current
version would be pretty much enough for me for years. What

Thanks for sharing that response.
I can see why moving to a cloud based service can be tempting
when looking at the recent news from Adobe:
http://www.adobe.com/news-room/pressreleases/201403/031814Q1FY2014results.html
If you then go and look into this press release:
Did you tell him that the lack of user is linked to the lack of marketing?
That's another unanswered question: why Softimage wasn't made more visible?
This question has been asked countless times but I'm not sure it got a
proper answer yet.
