+1 To follow Stevens comments below, we also know that Suites are very much a focus for Autodesk. Suites aren't for everyone, granted, but Softimage is an important benefit for Suites. So we are trying to do more and we are pushing Softimage, however whenever these types of rumours pop up, it actually makes my life (and others like me in Autodesk) even harder, because when we try and push Softimage, many people don't see the software, they just see the rumour. I end up having to spend much of the time trying to dispel any rumours, and this actually distracts people from seeing the real benefits of Softimage. And I'd much rather spend the time on the benefits.
Whilst I have nothing against people posting rumours, and I don't think banning is the answer, I'd like people to maybe think a little first before posting. Autodesk don't tend to give away much in public, so if people do have doubts, then try contacting use privately.

Tim has worked for me before and he's a solid Soft dude. Nothing but respect for him. I know he loves Soft just as much as we all do and honestly... his post was probably posted purely out of his frustration of how AD is handling Soft. I say... cut the dude some slack and understand that he's probably just bummed.

I usually leave that for the folks in the forums usually. Also to add, Tim Marinov, like others have said, you've already switched to those other apps. It seems like you're just coming back to stir things up and hope others follow you into the path you've taken. Not sure if it's because you're lonely over there or what but if you don't use Softimage any longer why even come to post on this list? -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Thu, Dec 20, 2012 at 7:55 AM, Graham Bell <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I agree.
