Well its true that we can all carry on using it. Thats my plan for the foreseeable future, but Its very annoying that firstly you cant just buy Softimage alone after 2 weeks and then you have to get a package with Maya which will be more expensive, then in 2 years time, you can’t get any more seats at all. There is no real justification for the bullying tactics whatever they say.
I’m hardly bothered at all about them not developing it, I can do that myself with ICE. I’m more concerned the ability to get new seats. I’ll just have to buy up as many as I can in the next 2 years I guess.

Considering it's The Mill and they have the R&D infrastructure to make Softimage and ICE do what they need too....they could probably work for a long time with the current version as is. What is Autodesk going to bring to the table in the next 2 releases that the Mill couldn't easily create themselves.

Its so utterly ridiculous discontinuing Softimage. Its the best solution for designing complex character deformation bar none in my opinion. Surely Autodesk aren’t stupid enough to not be able to see that they have a diamond here? ‘Selling it as a particle system’ my arse! I don’t think they even know what they have.
