Redshift is very fast and without any glitches that we used to
experience with MR.
The only problem I see going forward is, we know and they know Soft is a
dead end, their focus
in Redshift's development will with Maya, 3D max, C4D Houdini etc. And
who can blame them.
So far they have been excellent to deal with on every level.
So I see for us Soft will be good for another 2-3 years.

Hi guys,
Not being in the hi-res movie/ad industry anymore, I'm pretty surprised
RedShift seems to have taken a place quite quick in your heart and more
importantly in your pipeline. Of course the closer to real-time you get and the
cost lowering Redshift provides is definitely interesting but I could not have
predicted that Redshift would be such a game changer, at least for Softimage
users.(I don't know about the other DCC users as I don't hang that much in 3D
forums.
Where is that taking you? I mean, what do you guys see as the next step? I
heard Octane is pretty slick too but have you checked out Brigade?
Is Arnold working towards this direction as well?

Subject: Re: Continued use of Softimage question
We’re still a Softimage pipeline, and just like most who are replying, the main
reason is for the ease in lighting, rendering, and pass setup.
We have an Arnold renderfarm but we are finding ourselves using that less often
in favour of Redshift.
Houdini is on our radar and we’ve been tinkering with it, and we have a Modo
license but haven’t had the time to even install it.
Overall I think that we are still more efficient using Softimage as it is, than
we would be switching to a newer workflow, which (without wanting to start that
whole discussion again) speaks volumes about the quality of Softimage, bearing
in mind that we can assume its development essentially finished 5 years ago!
Cheers,

Hi all,
After a stint out of the Softimage fold - mainly in setting up a Houdini
rendering and VFX pipeline somewhere, and now I am at Axis animation, doing
pipeline tools and setup - I wanted to get a feel for this -
Who in the world is continuing to use Softimage? Who might still be on the
lookout for high end Soft Riggers, pipeline, tools etc...?
Just wondering, as I consider the future for myself and family.
Thanks
Sandy
