I agree with Eric, although I won't be there.
It's going to be one of the last XSI meeting, let's make it XSI.

I have to agree here with Angus, the event would be more interesting
for attendees of it showed an open mind of what the future could look
like.
Approaching Fabric, Maxon and SideFX could be an interesting way of
putting some energy on the event.
I had a great time last year by the way, Oliver does a magnificent job
at putting this event together ;)

While I can understand Eric’s point of view the harsh fact is
this. Just like in the EDU sphere when it comes to funders
Softimage is EOL and by that virtue not worth putting money into.
There is a much better chance of getting funding by having a more
general event.
The question is wether this is acceptable of course ;)

Subject: Re: SOFTIMAGE|UeberTage 2014...any interest??
Ok you are right. Thought more of a "look here, what do you think
about that thing" sort of discussion. But religious "but my is the
best things" are surely not what we want (apart from SI, of course
:-) ) . Thought about keeping the uebertage alive in a future with
less and less SI-Userbase...
And Eric you know: I will use Softimage furthermore, cause at the
moment, I can´t see anything better or even equivalent. When I do
have to learn a new software it has to be really an improvement to
Softimage (from the small studio / allrounders view).
Ahem, I really would prefer to have a pure Softimage user meeting
and not some melting pot of X different 3D apps/users and all the
/my-software-is-the-best-because-blabla/ discussions.
Why is everybody talking about transitioning? Is anybody
seriously afraid that Softimage will be out-of-date by the end of
the month or what?
Honestly, if there are going to be Cinema 4D, Houdini, Max/Maya,
Blender, etc. presentations ... wtf? Don't get me wrong, I have
nothing against the apps nor their users, it's just that it's
seems wrong to me to have them at possibly one of the last XSI
events.
Cheers,
Eric
