softimage

A computer graphics software development company. Founded in 1984, merged with Microsoft in 1994, bought by Avid in 1998. Sold from Famous for its DS, 3D, XSI, and behavior products. Flagship product is XSI (the name comes from the period when Softimage was sold to Microsoft, adopting a DirectX API, hence the X; the SI is self-explanatory), arguably the most advanced CG package on the market. Marketed aggressively, albeit to the detriment of Softimage's prestige. Its other (important) app is behavior, which is a massive crowd simulator.

Softimage revamped their image lately. Before, they used to be unbelievably prestigious, now they're rather common.

If CG software were car brands:
Blender - Scion
Cinema 4D - Audi
3ds Max - Ford
Maya - BMW
XSI - Maybach

Softage

Pronounced "Soff-adge" - To missinterpret the current field of understanding by basing claims entirely on the previous work in the field instead of the current-day advancements.

Examples: I do not mean to softage myself, but didn't apple have a better intentional design when it came to cybersecurity? You are softaging my friend, everytime you talk about databases you sound like Charles Backman (inventor of databases). I softaged myself by talking about the logo of a company that has since changed to a different designed logo.
