modeling
An extremely fast subdivision surface modeler and intuitive toolset give you everything you need to create amazing 3D models.
  Rigging & Character Tools
TDs love Softimage. Its flexible rigging and character toolset makes it a standout package for productions needing complex character work.
         
ANIMATION
Softimage is a truly non-linear animation software, providing animation mixing and layering tools for creating and reusing animations.
  Simulation
Softimage is packed with tools for particles, hair, cloth dynamics, and crowds. And now you can build complex simulations extremely quickly using ICE.
         
Lights & Cameras
With Softimage you get a complete set of lighting tools (including indirect lighting) and physically accurate cameras.
  Shading & Texturing
Shading in Softimage is extremely powerful with the Render Tree, which enables you to create complex shaders quickly and flexibly. A full suite of texturing and UV editing tools, including UV unfolding, are also available.
