They were modelled Alias(tracing NURBS over sketches) and textured in ILMs proprietary Layerpaint. They were animated in Softimage(not XSI, the classic one, still called SI Creative Environment at that time). Rendered in PRRenderman.

Save yourself the trouble and use XSI 2015. Loads scenes from older XSI versions and works on newer versions of Windows.

Not just that.

Basically by 2008, as Adesk acquired Softimage, it was already dying for a few years at that point, because people, for some reason, were moving onto Max and Maya, which prompted some upgrades to both.

And so they just took this opportunity to butcher Softimage, and harvest all its 2000s innovative tech and put them into Max and Maya (MCG, Max Creation Graph, was based on Soft's ICE Tree), all while giving out rather minor updates, features, and bugfixes to Soft.

I personally don't blame Adesk for the death of Softimage. Till its bitter end, it was just software that was very ahead of its time and it did a lot of great things for the 90s-00s, and so kinda got overlooked at in terms of UI updates and other stuff, which made it rather outdated on the face of other rising 3d softwares.

It was discontinued 7 years ago.
If you're that eager to give the company that purposely killed it in the first place money you can contact Autodesk and try sucking their dicks for a license, but there's a 99.9% chance they will tell you to either buy a 3ds Max/Maya subscription or fuck off.
Just pirate it, it's the only option.

Sorry, but piracy is the only option to get the last version of Softimage (Soft2015).
However, there is a non-piracy method though it gets you a version of softimage from 2009. Its called "Softimage Mod Tool", which you can download from this link:
https://www.moddb.com/downloads/autodesk-softimage-mod-tool-75
Its free and isn't cracked, its basically softimage 2010 distributed for free by Adesk mainly for game modders.
And despite it being a 32-bit application and released before Win7, it works fine on my Win10 machine.

Apart from some differences on the UI and lack of features on Mod Tool, everything pretty much works just like Soft2015.

I liked 35% of what he did for Ghost in the Shell (the remake) even though that movie was absolutely hideous and terrible.
Unfortunately they didn't even used the synthetic body design that I liked in the movie.
But I agree, his weapon and robot designs are technically flawless, pretty realistic in terms of engineering (my amateurish impression) but absolutely ugly.

Currently, using any links from the "Help" toolbar on Softimage itself will either 404 or redirect you to the last release announcement by Autodesk. (exceptions are mental ray, syflex, and facebook pages for softimage)

Because times before 2008 were objectively better.

The world never actually recovered from the Great recession. The markets simply got used to it which allowed Jobs to come back. The actual market is still fucked though so your rent is still >$1k just about everywhere you go.

You see an image that reminds you of 1970-early 00s and feel something, because back then there was still a thing called "hope" and you don't even need to have been there to know it. You can just sense that you are looking at kinder times. As opposed to today were we are told by the media who are paid for by the ruling class that diversity and identity politics are more important than the fact that we are all being financially assfucked.

How do studios like in Japan even get to use SI? Do they just have saved copies of the program and run them on virtual machines?

OP here, I'm actually so retarded that I forgot that there is still a forum for Softimage on the Autodesk website (AREA), people still post there to this day.

3D isn't really an industry where you can use depreciated abandonware and get away with it. The most important function of CG work is compatibility with other packages, and abandonware will run into the problem of critically outdated plugins. So if you want to use some external renderer you will have to do something really stupid, like exporting from XSI to OBJ, then importing OBJ to Maya, and then using the Maya plugin for said external renderer, because you know damn well the one for softimage won't work anymore. For all the hassle you may have well just used Maya to start. Pointless extra work.

I'd rather get my gender reassigned and use 3DS Max than that bloatware

Maya is limited and is nowhere near as versatile as XSI. The only thing it really has is animation which coindientally is something that SoftImage also excelled at until ((((((Auto Desk))))) purposely killed them

Implying that you can't use fbx or alembic is something really stupid. The process of exporting data from XSI is identical to all other DCC's the only new industry format you can't use is USD.
>>857689
>Maya is limited
It is less limiting than Blender - so not really limited. XSI might be very versatile, but it isn't as customizable as Maya and not a great pipeline tool, which Maya is.
As much as I love XSI and as much as I hate and blame Autodesk for killing it, putting down Maya in order to prop up XSI doesn't really make a solid argument. Maya is not to blame for their business decision, that's an argument based on envy.

I'm learning how to 3D model and chose Softimage 2015 to practice on. Anyone have any recommendations on any XSI guides?

YouTube is pretty scarce with this

I really appreciate this anon. Thank you. Unfortunately for me my 2015 trial will soon expire but I heard the XSI tool version is also pretty nice to use

Newfag here, is there any reason to use Softimage over modern software, other than nostalgia?

No, unless you prefer it over other software for some reason

Anon from >>861781 is correct, but there are also more softimage tutorials on bilibili.

>>863281
You can as a hobby or just for the memes, but for professional work I do not recommend.

Is there anything there that you can't get elsewhere?

Bilibili is a website known here for uploading (aka pirating) online courses, however I don't think its unique there, as you could probably find same courses on CGPeers and the like.

Newfag here. I'm currently teaching myself how to model with Softimage and I'm genuinely curious. Do other 3D programs have this quadruple perspective frame? I genuinely enjoy it a lot.

I'm using a combo of Maya/Zbrush/Substance these days, but sometimes I see myself as some kind of 3D fossil. All that 90's stuff feels like it was in another life.
