So Maurice, A brave effort with your rhetoric but sadly the results you achieved are letting you down. It is exactly what we did not expect or *were used to*before you are your crew took it upon yourselves to remarket Softimage within the given framework of M&E apps at AD. Do you think what you have done has improved things for the existing Softimage user base? can you account for how Softimage has less penetration now in the market as a fully featured Application to base an entire pipeline off** and has much less 'perceived' value than before you began your current campaign?
bravo! didnt you do well!? I believe you have failed quite miserably at your job and should most definitely be more respectful than 'be happy with possible increased sales and deal with it' to those whose value as professionals within this industry are greatly diminished than they were 4 years ago. Are you at all surprised that those you have sacrificed to the greater good that is Maya don't want any further business with Autodesk? **where I work the studio has many hundreds of commercials,3 short movies with countless awards and one was bafta nominated this year - all made with this measly particle plugin and not a single Maya or Max in sight.
