i don't buy the research-story - instead i believe softimage ended up in
the particles corner because they had to visually balance the
"bonus"-tools of the suites in a chart with a given set of buzzwords.

Maurice,
What was the reason AD purchased Softimage if they didn't think they
could market it as a full fledged 3D app? Was it to grab most of the
market and stifle the competition?
If you really wanted to get a good handle one what benefits Softimage
has for users of other packages it would have been better for AD and
that screwy research agency to sit a user from Max down with a user
familiar with Softimage AND Max then compare notes and show the wide
range of benefits and use that in the marketing Same applies to Maya.
A one sided view from someone not familiar with using the package
being pretty useless should have been obvious I would think for anyone
from a marketing background. Its obvious to me someone with no
marketing experience.
I'd love to have it all laid out for me though on how the evaluation
was done.
