While Dan's heart is breaking (and so is mine), I still have (at least) one nagging question:
Clearly this has been under discussion for a while at Autodesk, so why were the following comments from September 5th of 2012 made: *"The rumor that the EOL of Softimage and 3DS Max is upon us is totally false."* So, if I understand this correctly, what I get out of it is that when Autodesk assures customers that their product is not on the chopping block, that statement is really only good for about a year and a half (less if you take into account that this EOL must have been decided a while back). That doesn't imbue anyone with much confidence. I am not a 3DS Max user, but if I was, I think I'd be worried, and would take any Autodesk assurances that there was no reason to worry with a very large grain of salt. Can someone please, finally, address this? Thank you On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 3:47 PM, Tim Crowson <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks Chris!
