In the last time I had to open old stuff created in 5.11 ten (or was it
more?) years ago. And there are definitely things not working in the
actual versions (i.e. some 32Bit Plugins).
I can´t remember a time in my life when I was bugged / irritated over
such a long time about the same stuff (SI EOL).
... and for my needs there is still no replacement for Softimage in sight.
Greetings at all the poor working on Sunday...

Looking at all the familiar names popping up in 3D forums that aren't
AD related, I would say a lot.... ;-)
It seems a lot of ppl are testing the waters on other 3D apps, but a
lot of that isn't Max or Maya it seems.

I wonder how many of "us" will think that way though.

2012 is now officially off-limits for subscription customers.
I remember a message from an AD rep here, suggesting not to upgrade
a few licenses just in order to keep access to an older version -
thus diluting one’s license park.
it’s anti-customer behavior, directed ONLY at licensed and paying
customers, devaluating their investment.
what you did up to 3 years ago is being ‘obsoleted’ -
for long format work that’s like saying: your previous project is
off bounds. This in an industry (entertainment) thriving on sequels !
funny reading just the other day about Weta’s own new renderer in
that other thread – where they mention opening shots from “old”
projects such as Tintin or the first Hobbit – and re-rendering them.
Where this was actually a design constraint they set themselves.
And here’s AD going: hey, if we can prevent you from doing this, we
will!
Sure, you can try and open those scenes on a newer version, and pray
nothing breaks. Oh right, if you’re on Maya, don’t forget to
recompile all those plugins you don’t have the source code for. Doh.

Amen to that. I stuck it out on Softimage, waiting for the next gen
software from AD to replace Maya/Max/XSI.
Definitely not doing that anymore - at this point my ONLY criterium
for a replacement is that it isn’t AD.

Yes you lose the right to run three versions back when the
subscription lapses. You can only run the last version you
installed.

What was the final verdict on using older versions of
Softimage, I saw on the EOL page you could use up to 3
versions back. Does that require the user to be on active
subscription. My case is I am on 2015 but my subscription just
lapsed.
