offical features for softimage 2014 & we have a NEW logo

[bottleofram]

That ominous footnote #3... watch it spread, like a plague. Though, I'm actually surprised not to find it on maya/max pages. This "we know you guys would love to get on the suites" disease will get them first.

Oh, about the logos... I'll take a bit of satisfaction in knowing their designer must have cursed all the M's he had to differentiate between.

Maya logo look like the Tron Recognizer!

That's new (or was it)!

I can purchase Softimage online! They still need to update to 2014 though!

I whipped-out the prices as they may be different in your region (or not at all)!

That's not new, sorry. But I think it is standalone only.

Well, the stream is over...wish they had answered more livestream questions but admittedly the livestream chat was pretty terrible... :[

I think about now would be a great time for Mr Mootzoid to show us something amazing he's been working on to lift our (crushed) spirits

They answered one of mine about the sequencer, but I asked about 5 times about Mental Ray and they didn't say anything about that, at least I got one I do agree with you though, this was a great time for people to ask legitament questions and speak directly to Softimage staff, and that was one of the worst chat sessions I have ever seen, not on AD's part - they did a good job and really tried (hats off to Adam, Shawn and Chris), but the attitude and maturity level of most of the members in the chat was appauling and was a bad representation of our community (sans a couple of people posting.)

[sonictk]

Yea, I don't blame them for ignoring most of the livechat either... -_-" so much "BUY SILO! HEXAGON!" >_<

So what we got from it:

HQV still dreadful.
CrowdFX will get upgraded with ragdoll tools.
Camera sequencer.

And a company that seems to have too much generals, a music band but very few soldiers.

We could have gotten A LOT more from it, but the conversations in chat were dreadful. I don't blame AD one bit in this case...

[Bullit]

Unfortunately i don't think they could have shown more. There wasn't anything more. Even the FBX wasn't working and Adam Sale didn't have another application in his computer, about HQV he just run away from showing it to not pass a public shame.

While there is never an excuse for people not behaving when given the chance to speak, I think the blame lies on both parties. I have spoken many times about ADSK's lack of information. While I am aware of the constraints they works under unfortunately ADSK have created the environment they faced today. hopefully they will rethink their communication strategy.

I like logo and website.
I think it's way better than the old one.

[angus_davidson]

While I not particularly fond on the new logos (sorry bellsey they are just not grabbing me ... yet) ;) I do like the fact that the new website is much better then the old one. Its overall a great aesthetic and the products all feel part of the same branding which was long overdue. I do like that education /learning tools is far more up front and center.

i Can't believe this release is worst then 2013.
But it is.
