Paul,
Could you go into a little more detail. I am interested in when you
used it too and what you thought about the interface. I have seen
some really impressive things done with Softimage. Thanks.
Sorry, I won't go into detail about SoftImage on the 3DS forum. I'd
suggest you check them out at Siggraph. Or if you're at the
conference, I'd be more than happy to grab something to eat and
discuss my experiences with the various products.
