It appears the upcoming release of Softimage will be the last. I wonder if some of the functionality (e.g. ICE stuff and face robot) will be ported over to Maya.

Lame, but I saw this coming. There's no way they can keep R&Ding all of that software they've eaten so something had to drop. I think Maya and Max will absorb certain different features.

I only used it for FaceRobot anyways so I am not terribly concerned. IT still beats most facial systems out there when calibrated properly. Also being able to extract C3D data out of Faceshift and port it over to a FaceRobot rig turns out pretty good. Makes the mouth deformation much more believable.
