For immediate release: The newest plugin “Soft memories” is now available for Softimage|3D. Soft Memories exports Softimage|3D scenes to an XML-like file format so data can be archived to remove dependencies on Softimage|3D to be able to view and manipulate content. Data is stored as XML to make it easy to develop importers to another 3D application or viewer without issues of binary or version compatibility. All scene elements accessible by the SAAphire SDK are supported including 3rd party plugins and shaders.
The plugin was developed to find a solution to a common problem digital artists face – how to archive data for a portfolio but still make it accessible when the host application is long obsolete and no longer functional, or when the developer is no longer in business? The plugin is available for Softimage|3D v3.9.2 on Windows appearing in the Tools module under the “Export” menu. Special 1999 rollback price: $1,499.99 USD. For purchase, contact Matt Lind at [email protected] A separate plugin to import the archived data into Softimage|XSI is under development, but details on pricing or availability are not known at this time. Import into other applications may be considered. Matt
