Hello, i am opening this topic because i want to share experiences on abandonware and now discontinued software. I've heard about Autodesk Softimage, a software discontinued in 2016 and the closer we have today are sidefx Houdini and Blender. It's kind of sad because those programs could give variety to users and even did unique things for their time.

It's somehow complicated story for a software that it was ahead of its time and it was even used in films and games. In 1995 it was bought by microsoft and even used as official part of sega saturn development kit. In 2008, Autodesk bought the company Softimage for 35 million $, developed a line of products and rebranded in 2009 as Autodesk Softimage. Few years later Autodesk ended the support of software and they focus more on Maya.
Personally, wish i could revive it and the source code on my hands and make it open source, as a programmer myself.
