The still-beating Softimage heart. This animated GIF was on the home page of the Softimage intranet, back in the Avid days before the Autodesk acquisition.
Didn’t Softimage have a marketing tag line like “from the heart” at one point? I seem to remember that, but I can’t find any reference to it.
Ah! It was “From the soul” that I was thinking of…
eX-SI 
From what year was this?
The animated gif? From some time before 2008 and the acquisition, I’m not really sure.
Well, it somewhat reminds me of the “classic” computer game “The 7th Guest” (1993), but in a good way, obviously 😀
I believe it was around 1998 or something. Really not sure but afterwards it got DS-ified.
If I recall this was also there during the Microsoft days, probably around 1997 when I was hired.
