I'm *very* sure everyone on this list list will understand that. Softimage is not only a software or a tool but a spirit for an entire generation of artists or maybe two generations. What hits me really hard is not that it will be no longer developed, I could live with that. It's the intention by AD to make it not available to the industry within 3 weeks upon that announcement. A software defining 3D-animation for about 20 years, from the very beginning to the present. Well, that include Softimage|3D of course. XSI did well. Softimage (the company and all its people) did well. They brought it to new grounds, making new things possible and known things in a new and sophisticated way.
I am thankful for all that work and love the developers of Softimage had spend over the years into the product. 3D never would have been the same without them. sven From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Emilio Hernandez Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 1:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Just lost a programming gig That is what Autodesk is doing us. Not only killing Softimage, is killing our way of life. And that is something many people does not understand yet.
