Autodesk has made the Softimage to Arnold plugin’s source code available under an Apache 2.0 license on GitHub. The plugin was originally maintained by Solid Angle, recently acquired by Autodesk, who continued development for several years after Softimage’s EOL announcement in April 2014. Find out more on GitHub.
Now they need to open-source Softimage! That would be perfect! 🙂
yeah that makes sense, pay millions for a program to just open source lol.
Not going to happen, they only open sourced this because they don’t want to deal with software that won’t be updated ever, but still give users the power to use it if they want.
It’s obvious, but that it would be nice, it would.
As for the millions … well, I imagine that Matchmover and Composite costed a ton of money to develop and now they are free. It’s still usable.
That would be digging their own grave, and they know it….
