VFX sUXx
(Sorry, someone had to do it)
Eeer, good luck and congratulation for your courageous decision.
I too have that idea to quit in mind.
Don't know what to do instead though...

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
