"I am sad to say, I can only see it as a huge mistake now." dont look at it this way, you learned 3d, you enjoyed doing so. now get a job on your skills, knowledge, and likability... if you so happen to get to use softimage, great. otherwise you can annoy your co workers how you would do it 'this way' or 'that way' in softimage. :)
i too was a student once, and i too decided to use softimage instead, against all my teachers advice in fact. i have been able to find all my jobs that use some if not all softimage. i have had to use maya and max and have had no issue doing so. sorry for the little derailment/pep talk for kiril. s On Mon, Sep 10, 2012 at 5:25 PM, Kiril Aronofski <[email protected]>wrote: > This discussion has been led repeatedly over the past several years and, > frankly, nothing indicates it will ever change.
