I was an onsite freelancer for the HL2 project. I'm still freelancing today, but not at Valve. It was pretty much XSI across the board when I was there. I think they have a very mixed pipeline now, using all kinds of tools. I'm sure they still have some departments using Softimage in some capacity. I don't think they ever "switched", they just grew. And in that growth new people with specializations came onboard with the software they were familiar with. It's pretty loose there, if you can talk other people in your department into a tool and wedge it into the pipeline, no one stops you.

When did they start switching to Maya or whatever they use now? On Friday, 23 October 2015, Derek Jenson <[email protected]> wrote: I rigged that Strider for HL2!
