Hi all!

After a discution on the mailing list,
Here are a bunch of "Save Softimage" avatars in different flavors.

Cheers!

As a group softimage users have never been good at silent. Just saying ;)

[FXDude]

Here are the same ones without the "save" part, as something tells me it's not all that "dead"

Cheeeers! This one fits here. posted by Paul in the big thread

I think it's hilarious, although I would add some filter in there so the poor developers don't get executed

Lol image of pure hate incoming

[FXDude]

Hi McAxe, sorry I don't want to ruin your efforts,
but I swear that hatefulness *only* in itself (or portrail of such),
although it can be like an unthought reflex and may vent some inner-pressure,
can only ultimately be counter-productive.

Meaning that anger can be like "tamed" and "channeled"
to make criticism (or critical artwork ) be;

- Constructive
allowing anyone concerned to reflect, consider & remain open to criticism (when it's respectful)

- as opposed to Destructive,
*reducing credibility*, making anyone concerned become resentful, build-up defenses, while either taking offense or (then legitimately) disregarding the criticism in question (thus becoming in vain), with a heightened tendency to then close-up when it comes other criticism in general on a given issue,
dismissing them as just well .. hateful. Also while inciting more similar behavior.

Case in point, as you may or may not know,
the decision to make SI expire by 2016 has been lifted ! (in a frozen development state)
and that is most-probably not from any "F#$ Autodesk" remarks. ; )

And there is still room to perhaps open-up the SDK (crossing fingers)

Cheers : )

Uhm.. you mean remaining available only for existing clients?

I think so --that's what I got from here: https://www.si-community.com/forum/v ... f=5&t=4994.

Yes. At least the reversal affects where the damage was previously most felt and allows shops /individuals to continue with some confidence.
