@Mathaeus:
I want to encourage you to create an account at the BA forums and to tell this to Jaques in the AN thread, it probably would increase the chances of your feature request being implemented ;)

Re: Blender 2.80 to arrive in 2018

Ton mentioned Softimage explicitly in another video interview, during a developer recruitment announcement. He'd love devs from Si. He considers it the best 3D software to have been developed. He said it was a shame Autodesk shut it down. I'll grab that vid too. Do you have a link to that interview?

BTW, if you want to support the Blender 2.8 development you can do that by participating in the "Codequest" campaign ;)

Re: New Radeon RX 580 - Softimage XSI 7.01 issue

Did you uninstall the Geforce drivers properly before installing the new card?
There is a tool called DDU that should be helpful for this.

Re: Scene rendering fast, suddenly "Loading Scene" takes ages

Did you try...
- rendering the scene without the vdb?
- another renderer?
- using the cached sim without streching it in the mixer?

Re: Why an Indonesian studio choose Blender over 3ds

I've spent a few hours with it now and I have to say I quite like it so far. I am wondering about it's overall stability but that's something only time will tell. From my experience, concerning stability, Blender is at a comparable level to Softimage and in any case MUCH better than Maya. Here is t...

Tangent Studios kicks Maya in the bin and spends money for Blender development instead of Maya licenses... :-bd

Re: Softimage Explosia FX released!

So, since Explosia FX is not available anymore for Softimage, I think it's ok to point out an alternative way to create VDBs for rendering in Softimage with Redshift. The solution is... *drumroll* Blender! :-bd I did a quick test. Here is how it works, it's really easy - just create a smoke sim in B...
