Just to give a different POV
I would be very happy to support and pay for features added to Softimage.
I know that a lot ppl say its time to move on Softimage is dead etc. but
not all of us are working in a big Studio or as Freelancers.
So for us as a small studio Softimage is still and will be for a long
time the best tool for our Jobs.
Which span from 1 day to a couple of days deadlines.
There is nothing out there which can replace Softimage atm period.
So all I´m saying is plz don´t only put your POV on the subject and tell
ppl to move on because, there is still enough life in Softimage for me
and a few others.
So I would be willing to pay for development for a few features or even
workflow improvements (scripts,etc) and that would add a lot more value
do my work then switching DCC.
So even most of you thing the thoughts behind it are admirable, but not
worth it I think it is worth it.

Although I like what you're trying to do, it's not really a viable
option imho.
I know we're all (still) reluctant to move on, but at some point we
have to admit Softimage is falling behind the curve.
Despite it's great workflow and ease of use.
Not to mention the rapid decline of Softimage related jobs that are
out there. Which is even more important a factor for a freelancer.
Over here there's - afaik - only one post studio left using Softimage,
and that will probably change in the near future.
So to be able to pay the bills, clinging on to Softimage for
post-production related work isn't an option for a lot of people.
With the above, there are basically two options, one is Maya, the
other Houdini.
Maya isn't that bad to switch to, it has become better with the latest
releases workflow wise. And it more or less behaves the same as
Softimage in many ways.
Houdini is a different beast, and will take some serious getting used
to due to the node based and procedural innards, but will give you
tons of freedom to play with.
So, like I said, the thoughts behind it are admirable, but it might be
time to start looking at something else for future developments.

Gum"road" to:
* Someone developing PBR viewport (an addon using Py, maybe with new
Nvidia cuda .dlls?)
* Someone developing custom libraries (so every time something Open
Source comes up
it can be implemented through).
I know I would join a patreon or gumroad for that.
Because, and excuse me, Open source blender -addon maddness- it´s a
chimera (everyone developing at the same time, so many new things
because no one holds the "fryer by the handles"! (no one filters
what´s really necessary for the application to grow healthy)...
If that´s what´s going on on an Open source environment (and yes,
organization leads to neatness and efficiency), I´d much rather join
Gumroad or Patreon for anyone who´s willingly able to code what´s
mentioned on this thread.
Just and idea....just...an idea..
Best regards.
