I am a generalist in Softimage with ICE skills, animation and rendering
(recently I have been using 3delight and Redshift).
I have a background in character animation and medical animation.
As Perry had mentioned, we are in the same location and could work on
sections together.
I am excited for this project, and to be able to work with you all.
I too have Maya in my past (I started out on Power Animator) and I have
no intentions of going back. It is nice to see something positive come
out from all of this.

A few things:
1) I am a generalist, but have good modeling skills and
lighting/rendering skills.
I am also a Nuke user, and could help composite.
2) Happy to also lend my story for the "Life afterXSI" doc of being a
longtime Maya user, who co-authored the first book about Maya
http://www.amazon.com/Mastering-Maya-Complete-Perry-Harovas/dp/0782125212
back in 1999, but chose to switch to Softimage. Now, being forced to
chose between moving back to Maya or moving on, I am going to move on
(unless we can save Soft!)
to a new uncharted software app. Which won't be easy considering I am
46 yrs. old and have 24 years of all types of software floating around
in amongst the cobwebs in my head!
3) Dan Pejril and I are actually right across the hall from each
other, and can at least lend some consistency to our part, whatever
that part is, since we are physically in the same location.
4) We are located on the a East Coast, and it might be a good idea to
get our time zones on that spreadsheet, so we know when people are
available as well as what they are able to contribute.
5) I have a bunch of students who started learning both Maya and
Softimage only 3 months ago (having never used any 3D software before)
and were REALLY upset when they heard
that they would possibly be forced to use Maya. They all said how much
Softimage was more of an Artist tool, cleaner, more stable, better
organized, more flexible, easier to understand, etc.
Perhaps their POV might be valuable for the "Life after XSI" thing?
