You know.. now would be a perfect time for one of those xyz and you type arena style head to head app match ups. Lets show people how much more advanced softimage is in a vast number of areas. Head to head when people see how much quicker one can work in softimage, it might cause even more murmuring and stirring in the industry or with shareholders. Promote the crap out of this head to head matchup.. hell bring max in too for a cozy threesome.
We could come up with a list of tasks from each area of a typical production and see which app is most efficient with regards to number of clicks per task, number of sub menus to access per task, number of plugins needed to execute said task, resusability or repurposing of asset, non linearity of task, etc. I know there are areas where maya would win, mainly in areas where softimage was poorly neglected these past years, but in terms of core functionality, I think we all know which app would come out on top by a mile... If anything else, it could be like Rocky entering the ring for one last fight. Adam
