I understand both points- the 'Trojan horse effect', and the 'but it's just as good if not better than' reasoning. The realĬoncerns are that the parent company sees benefit in continuing itsĭevelopment, and that the user base grows enough to attract third The other offerings or a part of a suite is secondary. Whether or not Softimage is marketed as a standalone product equal to To incorporate it into their pipelines, is that not a positive factor Potential (LAGOA could be just a start) and more users are motivated

Licenses of SOFT alone? And if ICE begins to really fulfill its Into at least some additional revenue for Softimage in addition to Sales of that particular product offering, does that not translate If AD includes Softimage in premium suites and therefore increases

Headed stepchild, but look at it this way ï¿½ I sympathize with the viewpoint that SI has been reduced to a red Within their own product line? Why would AD want anyone to move awayįrom MAX or Maya? This is the downside to having one company own all How would AD benefit from having customers simply make a lateral move

The studio where I work only uses Softimage for its entire 3D pipeline, how else are we meant to interpret this - our product that we rely on for the last 15 years or so is now relegated to a sidekick companion to some other software that most of us in our studio have never used? what happens if one of our Directors or Producers see this page and start asking where is Softimage and why are we not using Maya?Īnd actually you seem to be misinformed, Softimage enters the stage *only* if you purchase the PREMIUM entertainment suite, it does not come as default with Max or Maya suites. Andy does have very valid points - where is Softimage in the future of Autodesk Entertainment content creation exactly? from initial viewing of this material it looks like it is completely sidelined by Max & Maya and not worthy of its status as a complete production package. Well presonally I was somewhat placated last time by the encouraging words from Chinny and fellow coworkers that Autodesk IS serious about the future of Softimage, this latest marketing page though, to me, is a swift kick in the nuts for any confidences that were restored.
