Софтимадж FINISH, как бы все.. расходимся

мюф имно надо выбирать из блендер, гудини, лайтвэйв, синема 4д.

гудини и синему я могу понять. много ли у нас людей, работающих в ЛВ? или тем более в блендере? это же порно какое-то.

-В каких пакетах работаете?
-в блендере.
-Спасибо, мы с вами свяжемся.

Видел где-то вакансию где искали работающих в блендере. Но одна вакансия погоды конечно же не делает. И это именно редкое исключение.

не знаю , чем так пугает блендер . для моделинга и скульптинга он вполне норм

Мне как аниматору, как на Maya, больше некуда идти (((

Да ничего не поменялось, хочешь работать в индустрии? Изучай Маю.

А дома или в своей фирме можешь юзать хоть Кси, хоть Блендер, хоть Каррару, хоть Позер. Всем начхать. :preved:

Не ковырял Синему. Неужель так слаба в анимации?

Да ничего не поменялось, хочешь работать в индустрии? Изучай Маю.
Ничего себе не поменялось!
Вариантов больше нет, вообще!
Ригинг и тд самые крутые фичи только в XSI и Маya, Варианты вообще отстутствуют!

Со времинем, без потдержки разработчивок XSI просто угаснет какая бы она не была крутая!

В общем я сильно зол! (((

Folks
Dan Y and other folks, I hope this comes across as firm but reasonable. I will post it on other appropriate sites. Any ideas on that front?

An
open letter to Autodesk.

Dear
Autodesk

My
name is Alastair Hearsum. I’m a founding partner, director and
head of 3d at Glassworks. If you haven’t heard of us, we are a
small to midsized company which has been creating VFX and
animation for TV commercials for markets around the world, for
the past 20 years. We have branches in London, Amsterdam and
Barcelona. We create innovative and multi award winning work
and we use Softimage.

Your
announcement that you are retiring Softimage has left us
saddened, disappointed and not a little angry. The anger for
two reasons; that you have shot the racehorse of the 3d
software world in the head in its prime but also that you
didn’t consult with us about this assassination or discuss any
of your plans for the future with us. We have no idea what the
future from you holds. We are big and longstanding users of
other Autodesk products as well as Softimage. The puzzling
thing is, technologically speaking, there was no writing on
the wall as there was with Henry and Flame, for example, or
these days with Flame and Nuke.

We
have been punching above our weight, in London, for the past
20 years competing well with the much larger organisations of
MPC, Framestore and The Mill. One of the reasons we have been
able to do that, apart from the deep talent of our crew is, I
believe, because of the software that we chose. I’m nearly 150
years old now but I still sit at the computer making pictures
for TV commercials to the same arduous schedule that I always
have. So I know what I’m talking about. For a period a few
years back we had a 50/50 split of Maya and Softimage. We
chose to go 100% Softimage. Its better for the work that we do
and the sector we are in. Its no coincidence that all the
finalists in the recent British Animation Awards (tv
commercials) did their work in Softimage. Similarly, both
silver and gold award winners in the 3d animation category at
this year’s British Television Advertising Craft awards were
Softimage companies.

You
may well go on to list major work that’s been done in Maya.
Sure there has, and great work too. But Maya is used as a
shell in the major film effect companies. It is heavily
customised and unrecognisable as the product you ship. We have
our proprietary software and tailored workflow as well, but
Softimage remains pretty much untouched. It is lean,
efficient, and the ICE environment is innovative and
empowering.

So
you’ve done it. What’s next? Like I said we have had vague
information about what the future holds. We hear rumours about
bi-frost and that’s about it. From what I understand from
various sources there are no plans to replicate the efficient
workflow and full ice functionality that made us so
productive. You have offered free transitionary licenses of
Maya with the threat of having to discontinue using Softimage
in 2 years time.


The
final thought is not just about what software is best for our
future but also about what sort of software supply company we
want to get into bed with. The attributes that come top of my
list: listening to customers, acting on their recommendations,
speedy development, innovation. Now does that sound like you?

мне кажется, что таких писем у них сейчас приличное колличество...
И приличное колличество вопросов было задано через официальную форму АДа на предмет всего что творится с кси.

Жаль ответов нет. Вообще.

сначала план у автодеска был - за два года пересадить всех на майю и закрыть кси. не продлять лицензию. под давлением общественности они сказали . ну ладно не будем мы убивать совсем уж кси. если надо будет переставить кси на другую тачку звоните в тех поддержку. Работайте на кси сколько угоднео.

Тоесть ребята немного прогнулись

Update to the Softtimage Transition Plan
Hi everyone,

I have an update to the Softimage Transition Plan to share with you:

When we created the initial Softimage transition plan our desire was to provide our customers with an easy, no-cost path to transition to either 3ds Max or Maya. We have been monitoring all of your feedback on the forums, including many direct conversations with our customers, and have made adjustments to the transition offering to address your concerns. As we had previously announced, a program is available to all Softimage customers on Subscription providing you with the option of migrating to 3ds Max or Maya via a bundle that will include a Softimage license until April 2016. Based on your feedback we will be adding the ability to continue to access Softimage indefinitely with your Subscription entitlement even after we stop support on Softimage in April 2016. We have heard you and we want to make sure you can continue to be able to access your Softimage projects even after the retirement of Softimage. Our intention was not to create more burden on you with this difficult change.

As many of you have also asked about this, we would also like to clarify what will happen if you do not want to transition: your licenses will not stop working. Any licenses you have purchased are yours. They are perpetual licenses and will continue working whether you are on Subscription or not. You will continue to be able to contact support if you need to move a license to a new machine.
