I had a short meeting, 3rd times already, with my artists today about software which we are going to choose. We don't need to act quick. We can use Softimage till the date we find an another solution.
We have discussed about Maya and Modo. We all know Maya, so it's not big deal to go with that (of course nothing can be compared with Softimage), but we are more into Modo. The reason Modo seems better than Maya was very simple. We are sick of AD's bad attitude. No more even a penny for AD is all of our decision. After short talk, we decide to go with Modo. We are going to learn it step by step and are going to use it from simple and small project in near future. I am not sure I can remove Softimage from our pipeline in few years, but we decide to do this. It is totally feel like losing a family or my old pet with all of sudden. It's like a doctor told me my family or my pet will die with unknown cancer within 1 year, so I have to prepare everything after. This all ridiculous situation make me sigh unconsciously every time, and make me feel like I need to adopt another family or pet which I never want. We are going to move on slowly. I mean, extremely slowly. Our long term project is going to be still done with Softimage. I am going to give myself and other artists good enough time to adopt another software (Modo seems the answer, but whatever) to live, but we all know here we will never forget our loyal family or pet. Because of all this feeling and talk, I feel so sad. All I can do is blaming everything on that cancer. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Kim Animation Director & Professional 3D Generalist http://www.danielkim3d.com -------------------------------------------------------------------
