Unofficial Softimage user voice

[Gregory Ducatel]

Hi Guys,

In order to centralise ideas, features... In one place I have opened
an unofficial Softimage user voice.

https://softimage.uservoice.com/

Please fell free to add any ideas, features or improvements that pop
in your mind I will be glad to spam Autodesk using this platform.

Cheers,

Greg

Oops, just registered and found out one has 1000 votes... that kind of defeats the purpose. If I could make any suggestions it would be to dial that down to ADs levels which seem to work in order to make people prioritize stuff...

Hi Gregory

A 1000 votes seems like a lot. Don't you get just 20 on the Maya user voice?

And I was able to vote as anonymous.

Thanks

Stephen

[Gregory Ducatel]

My bad, will change that... ;)

Hi Gregory,

Good work, I recommend you don't use the official softimage logo. It's probably infringing copyright.. 

[Gregory Ducatel]

Thank you for the advice. It will be remove.

[Daniel Kim]

Really nice site.

I hope AD people check all post their and improve SI in next release.

Good job Gregory˜!

The unofficial status, is related to the fact that I am not an Autodesk employee... This is a user initiative that can become the official one if autodesk embrase it... ;)

[Sebastien Sterling]

is it possible to edit/reword an idea ? not in as so far to change its content but to add clarifications ?

[Stefan Rueffer]

Hello,

Thanks a lot for creating this website, Greg.

This will make it much easier to see if our current ideas are lining up with the needs of the whole community and will give some excellent input about what might come next.

So please everybody use this to help us to pick the most needed features and be assured that the complete Softimage team will listen closely.

Cheers,
Stefan

on the first day, weren't votes unlimited? What happened to these
votes after you set the limits? It is possible that some early
suggestions have a disproportionate number of votes?

[Daniel Brassard]

Softimage Community, the Area and Softimage.tv have a link or thread dedicated to the User voice.

Voted and added some request to the list. Good initiative, thanks Greg.  

[Christopher Crouzet]

And also, shouldn't the votes require a proper authentication to make sure each vote is legit?

Sounds like I can vote as much as I want as anonymous and after clearing the cache of my browser.

[Eric Thivierge]

You have to log in and get a maximum number of votes. If you're a true
turd and want to use all 5 of your email addresses I think it's still
open for that I guess. We have to have some matter of trust no?

[Alan Fregtman]

Hi Eugen,

Currently you only have 20 votes to spare in total.

When you vote for something, you can spend up to 3 of your available votes for that specific item if you deem it THAT important. Also you can remove votes at any time by clicking on the blue "X vote" button, or you can downgrade down from 3 to 2 to 1, so you can keep using those 20 points as you deem them most useful as new items come.

Cheers,

[Eugen Sares]

I see... thanks Alan!
Needs a user manual, that site... ; )
Maybe what you just said should be put up front?
Best regards,

[Matt Lind]

Let’s not forget all the suggestions and requests already submitted through proper channels and have been in the queue for a long time.  It’s not fair for user efforts like this to ‘cut in line’ ahead of those who have been waiting for their turn.

 

If you really want to know what is important, then please expose your request log and put it into the same list as the user voice so users can see and compare all the options on a level playing field and vote without bias.  Otherwise, people are going to vote for things that are most visible in the list as opposed to what is truly important. Ie; it will skew the results possibly supplanting really important and good ideas with those which are less important only because the less important ideas are visible and the more important ones are not.

 

 

Matt

[Steven Caron]

+20... all my votes

[Gregory Ducatel]

Hi,

First of all, I just double check if there was any voting abuse during
the first hours when the site was setup to an unlimited voting
measure. And no, people were not abusive...

Now it is 20 votes/users, I am trying to see how AD can provide
feedback regarding the status of a suggestion in order to give back
voting points to the site users and provide a active environment.

Also, if AD is willing to provide me with a list of suggestions and
requests already in there system, I will be more that happy to add
those suggestion inside this users voice system so it will be
accessible for everyone.

Cheers,

Greg

[Christopher Crouzet]

While looking for "security" breaches, I might have abused a little bit by giving 4 votes to the PyQt topic without being logged in... but I won't do it again, I swear!

That said, I did really wish for that feature a while ago! :)

IMHO, don't worry about what's already logged. That's thousands of
items. The benefit of the exercise is to have a completely fresh list
that's about what the larger population (i.e. the one not the beta and
not already using support) think about *today*. If what was already
logged made sense, then it will duplicate it. that's not a problem, it
only re-enforces the importance of something.

I think the Autodesk approach of having two forums, one for "ideas"
and another one for "small annoying things" is better, though.
Because you should constantly try to address small annoying things and
not pit them against bigger items, so you need to keep these things
separate. In practice, because there are thousands of items opened at
any moment, there is never one global list of things to do that a team
is plowing through. Things are cut down in separate pools about
market/areas/strategy and maintenance, and only the recent items can
realistically be considered given that that there is a constant stream
of new things being logged every day.

[Sebastien Sterling]

I tried to see if it would stick, and it didn't, so i guess that was post fix, had there been accumulation i would have reported it... no, really :)

[Eugen Sares]

Good points.
The talk about a central, public request database surfaces every now and then - would be really cool if a satisfying solution is finally found.
So, +10 to introduce the beta request list into the uservoice page!

Whatever this central idea and wishlist hub will be, of course it doesn't mean the devs are forced to anything in some grassroot democratic manner, but to de-babel all the wishlists, requests and bug reports out in the wild, and to provide a proper basis for discussion. We are running in circles too often.

+1 to give request that stand open for long some extra weight.

[Stefan Rueffer]

Hello,

For sure we will not forget about the old requests, but the priority might change over time and so it's helpful to see that.
So please mention features and improvements again, even if they have been already logged to give them the proper weight.
Most beneficial would be to get information about the small things that might be easy to implement, but would mean a big improvement on your daily workflows.

Willkommen Stefan,

Happy to see a Product Designer at the helm!

 

Can you share with us who else you’re working with?

Who’s in charge of Softimage? PM, Lead Dev? What’s the structure?

It’s not to argue how things are run but rather to get to know who’s working for the Softimage community?

Hi,

Thanks for the typo error.
There is a SDK category available but I can generate secondary forum
for specific section (Small annoying things and SDK for example), but
I believe it will become "more complex" to search for something if I
do such divisions.

I also added a category for "Small annoying things".

Thanks,

Greg

Ok, thanks!
I cannot find the SDK category, though, neither in the popup nor in the

Autodesk should expose the feature requests which have been logged so we know what we have to follow up on, for a few reasons:

 

1) We don’t know if our own requests were logged.  I have come across cases where I requested a feature, but due to database or logging system changes the requests were lost.  For example, when changing from Avid to Autodesk ownership, or from Microsoft to Avid.

 

2) In past betas not all topics of discussion were not logged unbeknownst to us until it was too late.  In other cases like the ‘small annoying things’ list which Chris Chia started a year or two ago, he only logged some of the items in that thread but didn’t tell us which were logged and which were not.  We have no idea if our requests are even in the system.  It’s not trivial to spend the time to re-write all that information.

 

3) Some of us have been around for many years (20+ in my case) and do not have access to what has been requested due to changes in employment and locale. 

 

4) Seeing the requests on file would allow items which no longer apply to be more quickly filtered out so you can spend more time on the ones that are important.  I cannot possibly remember every single thing I’ve requested over the past 20 years, but I know I’ll recognize my requests in the list when I see them and be able to let you know if they’re no longer valid.

 

5) Some requests are linked to other requests.  As in, some features are closely related and are expected to be implemented together.  It would be helpful to see all the requests so we can identify which are meant to be paired so you can better understand how to organize your development resources.

 

 

 

 

Matt

[Mirko Jankovic]

Haven't you heard Matt? That is how Softimage bugs are solved and progress made: 

10 get list of bugs and new smart ideas that would make Softimage even better

20 delete

30 goto 10

[Matt Lind]

I call it poor management / business strategy.

 

Case in point.  A new feature came in Softimage 2011 which is very important for us in games development – symmetry tools support tessellation of geometry.  As in, when you symmetrize or duplicate with symmetry, the internal edges (triangulation) needs to be aligned in symmetry like everything else.  Any game developer that has modeled for games will tell you that’s an important feature.  I was told by Softimage that they didn’t realize this was an important feature.

 

I originally requested the feature in 1996.

Imagine the work involved in ordering a list of 12,000 items spanning
a decade: it is not possible. On a perfect day of triage, we could
triage through about 40 incoming new items. The development team at
its peak had a fix rate below 20 items a week. There is never a time
when you "catch up" because there were more new bugs and requests
logged a day than the team could work on in a week, never mind what's
already logged. it's simple math.
We have to clean up bugs that are a few years old and unattended. And
deal with the new ones shortly after they are logged, and that's
either you do them this release, or you will never do them at all
because new items will be coming in.

It's real cute to pretend that "we have your bug from 2005". Older
bugs are not more valuable than the fresh ones just coming in. You
have to use holistic methods for dealing with that huge volume of
data, and for non crash, non showstoppers issues - which you should
address immediately - part of that is keeping the ears opened per area
and looking at the items that come back again.

So I've always encouraged people to re-log items. Some people have
argued that people should first take a look at the list of already
logged items and not relog item. But an item not coming back from
another users makes it low priority (there is no "plus one" counter)
You constantly have to lobby the product team to attend to your
issues, the bugs logged 3 or 4 years ago are not in a queue that's
ever going to get shorter because there is new, fresh stuff coming up
all the time and fires to put out all the time.

[Eric Turman]

Thanks for the explanation Luc-Eric. That is actually very useful information to help balance out pester and bumping up of reported issues. =D

Right, but that doesn't matter.

@Luc-Eric:
how about the bugs logged in the 2014 beta? Are these still "hot"?

(I'm happy I pulled a copy of my stuff in time...)

[Matt Lind]

I could be wrong, but I believe Chris started the thread on XSIbase.com.  It was later duplicated on this list as its own thread.

I am surprised there isn't a rigging section in the idea categories, softimage has been a great package for rigging, but surely there are some riggers out there that can think of something they would like to see developed to help their daily interactions in soft ?

Hi Sebastian,

I just added this new category.

Cheers,

Greg

Yes I started the thread at xsibase requesting for bugs and later became improvement requests. I did log all the bugs and improvements into the system. As for why I didn't issue the ticket ids, the Soft QAs only issue ticket ids to users in betas.

And some even forwarded me google docs on the improvement request which I have forwarded personally to the management. 

I did and am still doing my best for everyone! ;)

Feel like this topic deserves another spin at the top of the list per chance it was missed first time around.

Incidentally i still can't find a rigging section to post ideas in :P
