Then I'd like change "we"with "me" in my statement if you feel more comfortable with it. I do respect you the same way as I respect the list. This list is the most proficient source of information in a same way a platform for professionals is meant to discuss even everything else. That’s my point. This is the softimage mailing list. I read maya topics all the time. 3Dsmax, for gods sake and will tolerate it. And Houdini? Well, it's very welcome and Modo for sure. But discusing freeware? C'mon!
Well the problem I had was not actually arguing with specific modeling in Blender but the promotion of it in this list. I do not think this is the right place to promote software. sven From: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Thivierge Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 11:19 PM To: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Subject: Re: Is purchasing a new softimage license impossible? Hey Sven, I'm not sure you have the right to police this list like that. I don't mind if this kind of stuff is posted here. So when you use the word "we" I'm not sure who you're speaking for but it certainly isn't the whole of this list. Anyone wanting to share new ways of working and tools should be able to. This wasn't forbidden before the EOL for Softimage so it shouldn't be now. Especially since the EOL. Eric T.

Newtek an SideFX did it as well. It's alright. But please keep in mind, this is the softimage mailing list. If I want to model with hobbyist software, controlled by hobbyists I will choose Blender. If you want to promote a software for hobbyists, you should use the appropiate forums. sven
