Thanks Brent, I'm not sure what to believe, still pretty shocked, from my perspective it looks right now like things are changing for the better of Maya and for worse for Softimage. Survival of the fittest and all that, is this why we got a dinosaur primitive in the last SAP release - a not so subtle hint of things to come.
Oh and am expected to believe all of the previous Soft Dev team collectively came up with the idea of working on Maya themselves did they? and they suggested it to the powers that be at AD and they said - wow what a fantastic idea, lets do it! Cynical and glass half empty perhaps, but you really expect us last remaining folk who work within a Softimage only based pipeline to be happy and optimistic about this? A smooth transition to what?
