So it's basically Softimage 2013 SP2.

yay, my first post after years of lurking

Wow!

If that is it for this release then I think I'm done with Softimage! What the hell have the new development team been doing for a year?

But if Autodesk think this poor showing will make me move to Max/Maya/Suite they have another think coming. I moved over from Lightwave and looking at what version 11.5 offers, I shall be moving back!



VERY DISAPPOINTED!

second that...
(not sure, maybe under a different light)
half a year, even a year delay with a change of development teams I'd say is perfectly ok for an app of this size and complexity. Some of those little bugs you can sit on for weeks.

Well, about half the year worth of maintenance fee is a different subject but it doesn't justify a ragequit imho.

I'd like to see a thread about what could be changed in Maya to make better for a Softimage user's point of view.. I mean if you have to bite the bullet some day and switch..

maybe this is what Luc was trying to tell us

I think my anger is justified when I only recently paid £650 maintenance!

If releases like this are all we are going to get in the future, the least they can do is offer us a cheaper subscription option!

Ok this cannot be the whole new feature list if so this time I will surely try to look at other packages but I still have hopes and waiting impatiently for the announcement

I wouldn't be surprised if Maya 2014 is equally disappointing and the only new "additions" are those seen in sneak peeks.

No need to ragequit. Just use what you have and stop paying people in advance without even getting a roadmap or anything. Pay when they deliver!
That´s how market works. That´s the only thing that changes anything: money. And if they don´t deliver? You have lost nothing.
BOYKOTT SUBSCRIPTION!

Agree
I'll wait the official release, I hope this was an error or a uncompleted list.
As another said, why bother downloading, install softimage and re-install all plugin, keymapping, preference etc.?

so glad I didnt renew my sub...

Autodesk don't make it easy though do they? They've made non-maintenance upgrades so expensive, you pretty much have to go the subscription route!

So don´t upgrade! With this pace of development it´ll take years until you actually ave something that is worth upgrading. In the meantime you will see, that most relevant achievements come from third parties like fabricengine or exocortex or mootzoid.
You lose nothing. There have always been upgrade specials in the last years, and the more AD need looses subscriptions the more often you will see upgrade specials or promos! Guys, stop play the game. No one can live on promises.

But if you dont renew or buy new versions, then Autodesk will go "look nobodys upgrading/buying this software any longer, let's discontinue the thing". So it's a lose-lose situation.

Awesome, new GPU CUDA stuff! My AMD card wants to thank Autodesk for such a great decision
