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.

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.

You got it! 🔔

To promote Test Drive 5, for whatever reason, Accolade sent out screenshots of their SoftImage 3D development environments showing the tracks and cars being modeled

Today's challenge: Can you figure out what game this development screenshot comes from? We recovered this from our press CD collection (we know what it is, but we want to see if anyone can get this!)
A screencapture of a road and city environment being rendered in SoftImage 3D. We're not gonna tell you the answer in the alt text.

Interesting, the 3D was also done in Softimage. Seeing Softimage's history and the tools in it, I can see what Blender was trying to recreate.

I used trueSpace fairly often from about 99 to 06. I don't remember how I found it either, probably a disk in one of the 3D art mags. I was sad when Microsoft killed it

I tried Lightwave and softImage, but preferred trueSpace. I try Blender every now and then but can't quite get into it.

Thanks!
But, as I said in that post, those images were rendered in a 3DCG software Softimage 3D that we used for the development. Not in PS1. So the resolutions are much higher than ones from PS1.

Softimage終了が日本ゲーム開発に与えた衝撃とその影響 - AIゲームまとめ
AbsurdVenturesのLead ArtistであるDel氏が、Softimageのサービス終了が日本のゲーム開発に与えた影響について投稿し、注目を集めています。 Del氏は、Softimageが2016年に開発を終了したことが、日本のゲーム開発における重要なノウハウを奪ったと指摘しています。 彼は、2010年代に日本のビデオゲーム業界の覇権崩壊の一因とも言及し、特にValveやSEGA、コナミ、カプコン、ジブリなどが使用していた点を強調しました。 Softimageが日本のアーケード作品『ハーフライフ2 サバイバー』で活用されていたことも、同ソフトの日本での重要性を裏付ける要因となっています。 また、Del氏はAutodesk社がMayaや3ds Maxを保有しつつ、競合を買収していった点についても皮肉を交えたコメントをしています。

PopoloCrois III Pilot Version are using SoftImage 3D around in earlier PS2 debuting.

here is the High-res scans Image for PopoloCrois III Prototype version in 1999 with help of Softimage 3D.

Tima was used for distortion of existing imagery, e.g. in case of thermal movements.

Here are some details about Softimage|3D and Eddie
