I am very sad about the news regarding softimage's future... although I have used it only for around 3 years now ...coming from 3ds max prior that... I quickly got used to its workflow and all around ergonomics and well though way of working which I unfortunately dont findin maya not to the same degree at least... I used soft mostly for modeling, lookdev ,lighting and matte painting.. and the render tree is to my opinion way superior than mayas hypershade among other stuff... haven't used the node editor yet... time will tell... I'll try to stick around the list, hopefully we can help each other transition to maya/hou... in the coming days, weeks, months... regards
