Oh holy fuck! I forgot abt softimage being killed by them
I went to mesmer animations labs school for softimage... (all still on SGI machines.
One of the best pieces of software ive used.
I was really good at building bodies on metaclay.
I built the entire human muscular system with meta clay, and was able to animate its movements in natural form. In 1995.
Sadly we had a tape backup system for all our data (these were all done on SGI machines) and after several years i lost that tape which hd all my projects on them.... i cant recall what format the backups were in.

Also, whatever happened to Poser and Kai's Power Tools -- what are those groups upto these days?
- Fnoord 7y agoSpeaking of SGI, did you notice the sticker with SGI logo on Hiroyasu Kobayashi's photo in the article? I thought of it as a fun easter egg.
- spinebult 7y agoHmm, but it's actually a spoof of the SGI logo. It's not one continuous line tracing the edges of a cube any more, it's several shapes in the same general arrangement as the original. And the text seems to say something like Animation Graphics or Innovation Graphics or Evangelion Graphics?
- Fnoord 7y agoGood catch! I didn't check the logo well enough. I regard it as homage, not as trying to "appear as the real thing".
