Softimage is still our primary tool, and probably for at least the next couple
of years (together with Redshift and Arnold, of course).

It’s getting tough finding people, but there’s still a few around.
What’s trickier is getting licenses! In fact, if anyone has Softimage licenses
they don’t need anymore let us know, we’d be interested in buying them.

SO, all this to say that I strongly support Greg’s suggestion to give Softimage
another 4 years of life, and to add my voice to the many that are hoping to
sway Autodesk into finding a better solution.

which individuals or companies were prepared, like me,
to pay their subscription money to keep developing Softimage
addons/tools/plugins, you would have (assuming $750/year/seat) $75/year,
which is 7 or 8 full time developers + administrative costs.
Makes you think…

maintenance into something more worthwhile.
Fabric Engine would be the safest bet, since it seems to offer future
portability.
Needs to be discussed but I’d be curious to hear other voices.

So how does the Maya system deal with potentially conflicting overrides?

Incidentally, what would be the best practice to cache rigid elements (i.e.
transforms only, no geometry) to avoid having large amounts of data written out?

I would love to ignore it, but alas I still get a core dump when running
xsibatch!
Looking around I’m finding some people talking about updating OGL drivers, some
discussing the Xorg.conf file, and yet more mentioning kernel tweaks. It’s
tricky to guess the best route…

, previous versions are ok (I
don’t have a 2013 installer so I didn’t check)
The /etc/hosts file issue, I remember that now that you mention it.
Wasn’t it something to do with it needing to be formatted for csh rather than
bash, or something of the sort?
I’ll dig down there a bit…
Thanks,

Hi Thomas,
Well ultimately I won’t need to run it - it’s handled by Royal Render, but when
testing in a terminal I am indeed switched to a tcsh session.

Hi all,
We are pitching on a job where we would need some help with surfacing, lighting
and rendering with Redshift (using Softimage, of course).
It would run through all of September and would be on-site in our office in
Brussels.
Please holler if you’re interested!
Cheers,
Jean-Louis
Thank you for all your replies, both on and off the list.
It’s all good now, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch anyway if you’re a
Soft+Redshift or Soft+Arnold person since we are often on the lookout for
freelancers and it’s getting tough finding them these days!

I can’t help wondering if the figures haven’t been skewed by the introduction
of bundles that effectively show up as Maya or 3DSMax licenses, despite the
fact that Softimage was the software being used.
Care to comment?
Thanks,

Hi Maurice,
Thanks for the insight, it’s interesting to see the figures.
But given what you say in your last paragraph, don’t you think it would have
been worth trying to keep things going at least another year to see where this
momentum was going?

Hi Shuting,
That’s not the same thing at all I’m afraid. In Softimage *every* menu has it’s
own memory of the last command accessed. So you can middle click any menu and
repeat its last command (as long as there has been one used within the session)

Jean-Louis
