GUYS!!! GUYS!! Listen. I know you guys are angry. Upset. Heartbroken. Me too!!
In the upcoming years, you're gonna have to make some hard decisions regarding your livelihood. Either continue using Soft in zombie form, jump to another software, or get forced to use Maya. The wisest thing to do if the last options happens to you is hope your hard-earned skills are transferable. ADSK bought Softimage and if you didn't see this coming, I don't know what to tell you. Marcus (the guy talking) is a smart dude. He made Naiad, and that had a very cool node-based system. Out of all of this shit you guys are going through right now, that guy is probably the silver lining in all of this. Though he won't make Softimage whole for many of us, he is on our side. Although I don't agree with killing off Soft, I can't help to agree on Marcus' vision of the future, if he gets his way, as he put it. It will still be a long and arduous road, but I'm willing to support developers who are willing to innovate for the sake of artists. In the chance fate lands you on a Maya box, there's a chance you'll hit the ground running while everyone else on Maya side will still be fumbling with a getData node. Please don't forget. Softimage was awesome because of the people. If I can work with you guys again even though we're typing Maya in the terminal, then who cares? -Lu On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 11:34 AM, Francisco Criado <[email protected]>wrote: > f**king autodesk maya's open procedural fx at 8:54 seems someone is > stealing code from softimage... > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOVsEK44fh8 > > > > 2014-03-07 12:21 GMT-03:00 Ognjen Vukovic <[email protected]>: > > Shame ice 3.7 wouldn't be enough to help maya users out. :) >> >> >> On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 4:19 PM, Mário Domingos >> <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Haha!
