Luc, that sounds like Maya will finally have it's user interface replaced with
a usable interface.
It's still a pity, I'd much rather see you working on Softimage than on
anything else :-/
Five years ago I was arguing with a former colleague that if you'd start to
develop Maya in
the right directions it would still take at least five years to get it up to
the reliability
and userfriendliness we have in Softimage, and only if Softs development was
stagnant during
that period. In hindsight this estimate was overly optimistic.
Given the rate of development judging by past releases I'd say it's off by at
least another
three years, and even only if you guys manage to cram Bifrost into it in a
usable way like ICE
was crammed into Softimage, and do some major rework of the GUI.
In an attempt to think way out of the box I suggest we find a way to sneak
someone Softimage-affine into the
top ranks at AD$K to make decisions that are right for us instead of
shareholders only.
Any one around here with pointed elbows and a background in political
engineering willing to conspire ? ;-)

Sry couldn't resist. Keep making Maya better addon for Softimage
Cheers
That's my job even more than ever! I've recently become the head of
the maya user interface team.
