Where is Softimage?

dont worry the future is bright.

[SreckoM]

Oh come one guys, it was pretty obvious where things are heading years ago. Nonetheless XSI is still great app, good enough to be used on some great productions these days. So ride this horse until it reaches EOL, damn u AD

Oh, this is nice for Mudbox, symmetry sculpting and re-topping. There was a bug in 2014 I submitted to Autodesk a few weeks ago, I have yet to finish a project because I'm awaiting a reply. I hope they don't wait until September to fix this bug, $#%#$%. I can tell the client, oh due to my software, you have to wait, want a discount ? !

Autodesk knows Softimage as ICE, surprising they haven't made Softimage open source. Everything you want to do, create it in ICE, is what Autodesk is telling Softimage users. The additions to Maya are not earth shattering. Instead of calling is a "service pack" they call it a "extension", last year, nothing mid-year, this year an "extension".

You are a trader, helping the Max and Softimage community. A SPY !

There are differences between Service Packs and these Extension releases. Service Packs go to all customers, and we released SP2 for Maya 2014 at the start of the month. Extension releases are for customers on active subscription and usually contain more than just bug fixes.

You say the new additions to Maya aren't earth shattering? I'd look again, as personally I think that Xgen alone is pretty damn good. The enhancements to Bullet are mroe than welcome too.

and softimage users with active subscription? Their money is not good like maya or 3dsm max users?

Obviously not! We are forced to pay one of the highest subscription costs, with no lower cost alternatives, and we get sweet f**k all for it!

So, all of us on Subscription were basically promised a SAP (extension) every year, as that what was being pushed by Autodesk a couple of years back as one of the reasons to be on Subs. We didn't get one last time since they said the new team needed more time and that everything was going to be back on track the following years. Now, we don't get one again? That sounds like a bait-and-switch to me, advertising one thing to get people on Subs and then when they are, you take away one of the main features...

In the Terms and conditions . Autodesk make no promises of giving a extension to softimage users . But Seriously paying a premium for a subscription and not getting a extension for 2 years . Sounds like a strategy to get people angry .

I see what your saying when it comes to a legal perspective and using the "fine print" so-to-say, but when Autodesks flaunts it in all of their marketing saying that their users get one every year as an added benefit for being on Subscription - then that is just shady business.

It's actually funny to watch a company doing so many things wrong again and again and then hear someone say: " You people don't like us, no matter what we do.."

[xsi_fanatic]

Come on people ! I mean we already have the new Camera Sequencer. What more do you want ? A new hair system ?
