Sadly while we will continue to teach Softimage (for as long as possible) I am now also in a position where the last two folks that I would normally call if I was stuck in Softimage have now also moved on. One to Maya and the other to Modo/Houdini. Which Kinda sucks.
Until ADsk realizes what damage they are doing by remaining silent this trend will continue. At least the Max guys have some reassurance and have some idea of what the future holds given to them. Lets hope we can get something similar this year. ________________________________ From: Szabolcs Matefy [[email protected]] Sent: 02 January 2014 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: rumor, Soft dead within the next year I’ve lsot my positive thinking in the last year, so from now on, I’ll move to maya. Why? Because as a Softimage artist I couldn’t find ANY job. I am skilled in maya too, but having Softimage as my primary tool, I was always rejected saying that they want somebody who knows maya on an expert level. So, from today I’ll learn maya secrets. At work I’ll use Softimage. Seeing no development really, makes me sad.
