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
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
Different software for different tasks and just pick the best Software

Modeling (Softimage/Blender +Marvelous Deisgner) Sculpting
(Mudbox/ZBrush/Blender) Retopo (ZBrush/Houdini) UV's (semi-automated via
Houdini)
I have modeling down pretty well in Blender now. It's superior to even
Softimage (and that's no joke) but it takes the requisite growing pains to
get that far along.
I'm thinking my favorite way forward is Blender for Modeling. Houdini for
semi-auto UV creation, Rigging, Exporting (and possibly
Someone over at AD with some common sense should bring it back. If they

TLDR = Where do I go/which program? I’m specifically asking hardcore
Softimage users who knew all the hotkeys and L/R/MMB clicks/shortcuts,
sticky keys, etc.. And wore the software like a custom fit glove. All
aspects (modeling/rigging/anim/UV/all of it etc.) I was a freelancer, not

If you have very new hardware, it's probably safe to try, though I would do
it on a separate HDD if feasable so that going back is painless. I've had
multiple issues with W10 on multiple computers but none of them were brand
new. I heard that the newest release (perhaps it's still a preview

There may be a case here for an Antitrust Class Action Lawsuit against
Autodesk. We would need to have a lawyer look at the details and I'm not
the person to be able to do this, as I don't have the resources,
connections or credibility to do so.
However, if successful, it is potentially possible

Well, seeing the responses from AD officials in this post, it looks like we
won't be getting even FBX/Mental Ray updates to extend Softimage's
retirement past 2016, it was only a defeatist's last wish anyways, but I
had to try. I know Max, Maya and Softimage, I've spent some many dedicated
years
Softimage is ready out of the box now with no new features added. Why not,
leave it as is, but continue to support new Mental Ray and FBX updates so
that it still continues to fit nicely into any pipeline and leave continued
development past 2016 at those simple two things. Leave the rest up to
