My first exposure to 3d modeling was waaay back when on LightWave 3D (Amiga) and then SoftImage (Indigo2).

Been getting over a bump in the road. I use to use Softimage for my 3d work for Secondlife. That was like eight years ago when the program was nuked. I had been dragging my feet to learn blenders uvmaping. tho where my mind has been. its been easier to teach myself stuff. 1/?

Autodesk fucked that product in every orrifice. We were also the Softimage reseller until Autodesk bought them too. And Mudbox. And Motion Builder. And now I’m feeling sad again.

アマプラで「仮面ライダークウガ」を復習している。平成から令和へ連綿と続くシリーズを確立させた金字塔。作品のコンセプトも物語の構成も良くできているが、四半世紀も前の作品がゆえか、細かい所で気になる点がたくさんある。意味もなく演者を照らす強い光源の反射光。不安な状況を表現する演出だと分かっていても、意識がそっちに向いてしまうほど映像ノイズになってしまっている。あれはダメだ。それと、粘度の高い演出。そこはサクッと進めていいんじゃない？という場面にたっぷり時間をかけているのでテンポが悪い。CGの品質については言及しない。エンディングに「SOFTIMAGE」の文字をみつけてそっと涙する。でも好き。

I think it would be funny if someone out there, who might have the LITERAL sourcecode of SoftImage 3D

One of the most unforgivable things Autodesk did was discontinue Softimage, a legendary 3D package that left Maya and Max in the dust. I like to think Softimage's freethinking and innovative approach lives on in Blender.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk.

Listen the last 3D animation program I used was SoftImage XSI and adding subdivisions would bluescreen PCs.

It's been a minute.

Never mind over night renders and fighting other classmates for multiple PCs to find out the next day 1 of 3 PCs worked.

I wish every 3D program had the feature of being Softimage. Lightwave's spin quad would be useful in a lot of cases too.

This has likely been seen before but I just found that Resident Evil Remake (GC-2002) has an Easter Egg in the terminal about submitting a video for use at GDC2002. cc: @shesez.bsky.social

Next time I'm in Montreal, I'll try and take a selfie at the address. 📷

I've spent the day installing all my apps to my pc just to get back on my feet and i've seen the news that NgSkinTools(Which i was using to rig X) has been acquired by Autodesk, Really hope they don't destroy it like they did with Softimage/XSI.

I can't STRESS ENOUGH how phases 1-2 is the best way to learn their pipeline!

The storyboards are fast, there's 2d and 3d animatics for 19-2000 + Rock the House, so many mistakes that breaks the illusion, and a wayback machine site telling us the tools that El Manana used (primarily AE + Softimage)

Totally agree. At CN we had Maya mainly as our 3D tool, but initially we started with Lightwave and Softimage, with Cinema 4D / Infini-D for its integration with After Effects and 3DS for its interoperability with Flame suites. There’s no such thing as a “standard”

Tools change and programs die after being “industry standard” all the time. Dose it stop being standard? Some people still use bloody Softimage 3D somehow.

Your life REALLY SUCKS if that's the high point of your day... 2] Assholes who spit on the sidewalk. 3] Drivers who don't know how to use a turn signal. I can reach mine with my pinky while driving.

START MARTIST RANT I must say, this was a fun time coming down to San Francisco to do The New Tetris. Allthough there were a few problems. First of all being our producer.. D*N, my god.. is this guy useless or what?? I don't hate you D*N.. but you SUCK, and I mean SUCK as a producer. You should go back to testing video games, but I doubt you could even manage that properly. I feel sorry for you. During this project you just sat around and played video games.. starcraft and everquest. Don't even deny that.. when you WERE working, it was making stupid Excel (tm) spreadsheets to try and tell me how many bugs I had left to fix on a graph.. like WTF is that??? who cares.. I have the bug list in front of me, like I need to see it in freaking technicolor. So D*N, I must say this.. hold onto, and fake your job while you can, because once they find out how truely useless you are, you will be out of a job. I cannot think of any skillset you would fit into in this industry, so you better hold on tight. (This guy thought I could save a name in 8.4 BITS.. like umm.. .4 BITS?? WTF is .4 BITS?? its either ON or OFF, not in between... anyhow, Enough about you though.

I will also be archiving the information on each page here to be safe, and to be honest it's mostly info graphics
"1992/94 Moxy Turner Entertainment / Cartoon Network MOXY was television’s first full body and fully expressive CGI motion-capture performance animation character. Co-creator and Creative Director of the team that developed this award-winning proprietary methodology for real-time motion capture production through ensemble performance combining the techniques of computer graphics, animation and theatrical elements. Computer Graphics character modeling (SoftImage) with motion capture (FastTrack/Polhemus) translated by performance animation software (Alive!™), with additional puppeteering (Strata Systems Devices) and rendered (SGI four processor ONYX/RE) both in real-time for live performances and laid-off and combined with live action, graphics and animation for broadcast as series."

That little Indy was probably $20,000. The software people were licensing for it was probably more than the cost of the machine - eg. Wavefront, SoftImage etc.
