                Hi All,

                I was getting off a plane in Austin on my way to SXSW
                when I read the news about Soft being discontinued.
                Even though, as I said for a long time, I expected it
                to happen, it was still a shock. That was the day I
                unsubscribed to this list.

                For a variety of reasons and for quite some time, I
                had been trying find something else to do. The state
                of the industry is pretty awful compared to even just
                a few years ago. Soft being killed was the last straw.
                I started using Soft 3D in 1995 and next year would
                have been 20 years since I began my 3D career in NYC.

                So instead of continuing on and having to learn a
                whole new set of tools, it was time to seriously
                evaluate my future in VFX. I was at the point where if
                one more person asked me to make a car out of smoke
                and turn it into 3 dragons made of water and one made
                out of fire, I was going to shoot myself.

                I decided to go in an entirely new direction and began
                coursework to become a User Experience (UX) designer,
                which I completed a short time ago.

                I spent a great deal of time on this list and I have
                to thank all of you who have pitched in over the years
                and helped me out. You're a great group of people. I
                felt a little bad having just signed off like I did,
                so on that note...

                So long and thanks for all the fish.

                Eric
