The Softimage list has been a big part of my professional life, and I feel I'm not alone in that regard. This community was the perfect size. Small enough to feel like a family where we practically just could use our first names, but big enough to not lack in knowledge. That, and the fact that everyone is so nice and helpful, is the things I'm gonna miss the most and I fear I'll never find a greater community again.
I remember the first Siggraph I went to... To travel around the world to a huge conference where I didn't really know anyone. I had the Softimage dinner to look forward to where I got to meet some of you that I've talked with online for years. These annual dinners was small and not like a huge user group party and the feeling of a family grew stronger. Maybe that's why it hurt extra much when AD killed SI. I still use Softimage from time to time because it's still faster at a lot of things and I also try to keep SItoA alive and up to date. I really hope this list lives for some more time, so my vote is to move it if/when it becomes necessary to do that. //Jens On Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 11:27 PM Luc-Eric Rousseau <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi. > > The 11th anniversary of the Softimage acquisition, and therefore this > version of the list, has come and gone last month.
