You are dead in the water if there is no one to fix a bug that a 3rd
party dev needs fixed to make a certain feature... or implement a
feature in order to do so as well...

I have a question.....
If the last release is Softimage 2015 (with ICE). Won't this
version just run as long as you have it installed? If so,
I would think this is a great opportunity for 3rd party developers to
improve Softimage with some great addons, or plugins, that
would keep it going as long as there is 3rd party development.
I would point to the great addons, offered by Exocortex
<http://exocortex.com/>, as a perfect example
of integrating enormously extended functionality of Softimage.
The recent prolific ICE compounds, such as StrandTree
<http://iceduous.blogspot.com/2010/04/strandtree-procedural-approach-to-tree.html>
and
Mootzoid <http://www.mootzoid.com/plugin>
are just two of many offerings out there. In fact, Mootzoid states on
their
main page
"The Mootzoid plugin development for Softimage|XSI will not be
affected by this lame decision."
Am I missing something?
Are we really dead in the water if AD shuts down development?
I think this deserves further exploration.
comments?
