Exactly my pov. The different packages are too much in flux atm to make a
decision right now.
If I was forced to switch, I'd go Houdini though.
Still sticking with Softimage for now. There seem to be some changes coming in the
next year or two in almost every package so I'm gambling on >waiting a while
before choosing a direction. Looking forward to the next step, it may have some
things I'll miss but I'm sure there will be >advantages to balance it out. One
thing is for sure, wherever I end up will have to have a Redshift plugin.

Well the same applies to me.
I now am getting into deep scripting in Softimage.
The big difference is that in Maya you script for necessitiy and in Softimage
for the fun of it.
The real saviours here are Redshift, Mootz, 3D Quakers, Paul, etc.
For me it was never grief, it was anger. And the anger has passed.

There is no grief, here. The software is definitely NOT over. Initially I thought
"Oh no" (clean version),
but once I thought about it, as I was getting my new license for Redshift 3D, I
realized that whatever I need this
existing software to do, I can do with ICE. I am only just starting to learn
how to use ICE, so it a wonderful
new feature, to me.
I'm going to put any further efforts into learning more about ICE, rather than
spend my time trying to learn
another 3D package.
3rd Parties still seem to be developing for Softimage, although I'm sure that
will fade over time.
I turn 60 next month, so this is it for me. Even if I retire at 80. :)
I will not swallow the Kool-aid.
I feel bad for the kid who just graduated art school with a Softimage
background.
That is a tough spot to be in. Fortunately young minds learn faster.

Every single day I think at least once... oh AD how I hate you.
Also "your software is obsolete" from them ends up with "I can still work 10 times
faster in my obsolete software". Eat my dust!

I know it's a sensible question, but now that the grief is over, could some of you share how you're
dealing with the " your software its's >>>>>obsolote" phrase around your
maya/C4D/3dsMax colleague?
I got my head under Modo blankets and hope the day comes around quickly.
Yeh, just being honest here.
