lol, true. it’s not exactly hard when you look at it that way.

Man this is so cool. I’ve been wanting to get my hands on Softimage for a while. Hopefully it’s not a steep learning curve. I use Lightwave so I hope the transition isn’t that bad. Quick question, when I click on it to download, the file name is “process.asp”, I’m not sure if this is right but I am on a mac at work and a pc at home. I’m downloading it at work. If I change the extension to “.exe” would it work or should I just try and download it at home.

#66

no! simply changing the extension of a file doesn’t change it’s properties!

click on it and wait till it downloads. probably because you are on a mac it doesn’t work as it doesn’t recognize it. it’s a cab or exe file.

#67

Thought so, I’ll download it at home. Thanks for the quick reply. God i love this forum.:thumbsup:

#68

and once again softimage proves why they are the caviar to A|W’s fishsticks. ( i like fishsticks though). But I’ve always liked thw way these guys always surprise with something incredible. Is that a tear, oh no my emotions have come back after long years of supression. I love you XSi, be my valentine.

Sorry, Ive composed myself now. XSi is free man there is a god.

Trade-up program info?..anyone?..

#70

Is anyone else having trouble running the program with a radeon 9500/9700? As soon as it starts it says it has encountered an error and to restart it. I tried lowering the hardware acceleration for my graphics card, but still no joy.
This is on windows xp with the 3.1 drivers btw.

#71

dunno. but its VERY rare to hear 3d apps working perfectly with ati cards…

#72

Is there a way to download it with Getright or something??

Downloading +150mb over a 56K line is not very exciting…

#73

yep that’s my problem…

any way to get direct linkage on this one? i’m a little afraid to download it in one piece using IE…don’t wanna waste several hours of download time

I am really excited about EXP.
Been waiting for this for a while now.
The thing is, my email address has changed since I last created an account, so in order to download the demo, I have to put in my new email address in my details.
But the site wouldn’t accept it, and would just go around in circles telling my I have to give my new address.
So I cant get further than my details…which is really bugging the hell out of me.
I sent an email to the webmaster, so hopefully he can sort it out.
:annoyed:

#76

Sorry for this siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilly question.
As far as I know, the XSI Exp doesn’t run in NT4 SP6, does it?
:cry: :cry: :cry:
I think I’d have to upgrade to XP professional or 2K and that BOTHERS ME A LOT:annoyed: :annoyed:

Oh mamma, I wish I had the bucks right now…

See ya

#77

nt 4 is not support anymore…sorry buddy, but it’s also already around 6 years old…

#78

It’s really cool to see the huge interest in XSI, and this demo seems to be awesome! Saving to the “.exp” format is genious :slight_smile:

I’ve been with XSI from the start and Si3D before that :love:, I never doubted Softimage, they rock! and now I can safely say “told you so!”

Welcome aboard fellow Softies :slight_smile:

PhearieLord

I had the same problem as you so I just filled out all the details with my brothers name and address and email add, then I got the download no problem … and its worth it, its amazing for a freebie, someone could definitely make a demo reel with this, unlike Maya PLE . :buttrock:

#80

I just love how the Softimage people post lies about Maya PLE in their adds. :annoyed:

  1. WHo says Maya PLE isn’t as fast as Maya? I used both and noticed no difference in speeds.

  2. Maya PLE can use Mental Ray. ther’s this banner thing on AliasWavefront that links you to MentalRay. PLE users have the chance to use Mental Ray too.

  3. GI_Joe works on PLE’s and Fulls allike. I get great GI stuff, and I don’t even own full Maya.
