Hey there,

yes, still lurking here ;)

Celebrating 20 years of 3D...and all SOFTIMAGE this summer. Started with Softimage 3.7 on IRIX on a noisy machine from hell called "Crimson" ;) Then NT with 3.8...3.9...XSI 2.0 up to XSI 2015 sp2 and still using it because no competitor stepped up to made a serious replacement for it.

I miss the times doing stuff together with Eric on daily calls and bouncing ideas around..had great fun to organize and host the Uebertage until 2016. But those days are counted and gone. Still running the si-community, but numbers of post get lower and lower..so, this list is one of the last glances of a great community we once had. Still pissed about AD and the huge damage they caused. I sometimes wonder how many carrers were destroyed and how much money people were forced to burn into thin air....for at least nothing.

Usinig Houdini nower days for VFX stuff and it´s big fun. took a while to get it, though ;) But when it comes to clean up and animate CAD models, Houdini sinmply does not work in any concern..bu that´s different topic.

Looking forward to keep on reading from you guys out there and hope, AD won´t switch off the list to soon ;)

Cheers,
oli

    Very well put Paul :)

        This year I’m making my latest attempt to learn Maya and Houdini, just 
so I can get a bit more work, but can’t see either of them knocking XSI off the 
top spot any time soon, until they up their game to a comparable standard of 
creative fluidity.

    I guess I am a bit dinoish, as I started using Softimage 3D in
    1992 and DP 4:2:2 before that, so doing 3D since 1989. I had a go
    at Maya 1.0 thinking I could start learning it by modeling in it
    and move stuff to Softimage for animation and rendering, but
    abandoned it because it didn't have any of the NURBS Powermodeling
    from Alias PA yet. I eventually switched to XSI around v1.5

    Nowadays I am forced to use Maya at work because of client
    compatibility and the need to keep the small workforce here on the
    same DCC. I get to use Softimage every now and then for stuff that
    Maya sucks at or simply can't do (which is quite often), but it
    has been a while since I did a full production with Soft – sadly.
    We sort of switch between doing fx and other advanced stuff in XSI
    and Houdini (between two guys) and put that into Maya.

    Arnold and lately Redshift are the only reasons Maya has not yet
    driven me stark raving mad.

    I still use XSI/Redshift for fun stuff at home and can't really
    see anything taking over anytime soon.

    Great to hear from all you guys – I have always loved this list
    and still do :) I miss Kims rant's though and Porls tutorials.
