Agreed. Softimage allowed us to teach in a single year what the BA courses (using Maya) covered in 3 years...and then some more. Softimage was an excellent artist tool...and since 80% of our Masters students had never used 3D software before (they were painters, illustrators etc) - they were able to transition very quickly into a technical artist or technical director role. It's a great product....

Softimage was with a doubt was the best choice for a 1 year course where you are meant to learn everything from scratch and produce a short film at the end. Most of us picked up the software very quickly and learned the principles of computer animation which is the important skill. This communication is intended for the addressee only.
