I stlll use Softimage every day. I’m slowly trying to switch to Houdini ( for the thrird time ) but it’s not much fun when you know there's a Ferrari in the driveway, but have to use the bycicle to get from A to B :-)
Maybe for complex Special FX Houdinin is great, but for modeling and character stuff I keep on running into strangely convoluted workflows or basic stuff that’s just not possible or takes so much time to create a procedural workaround for you forgot what you wanted to do in the first place by the time you’re done. Besides that I still have to work on some old projects in Soft every now and then. Btw, how will we be able to revisit old Softimage projects when Autodesk stops activating old licenses next year and you have to install it on a new computer ? I just did a fresh install on a new workstation so I hope I’m covered for a few years. But what if I need to reinstall it in a few years on a new workstation ?
