As Arnold standins…
The Arnold procedural node can load Arnold Scene Source (ASS), Wavefront Obj (OBJ, OBJ.GZ), and Stanford Geometry (PLY), as well as DLLs/SOs.

Up until late 2008, Softimage wasn’t the name of a software product. It was a company with its own unique history, culture, and mythology. For many of us who worked there, it was a special time and place, and a lot of it happened in this building in Montreal.

None, not for the render farm itself. You just need Arnold licenses for the render nodes. You need Softimage licenses for artist workstations; on the render nodes, you’ll be using xsibatch -processing -render to render (and -processing doesn’t take a Batch license for third-party renderers).
You wouldn’t need Maya Batch licenses for Arnold render nodes either. The Maya render/mayabatch command line tools won’t take a Batch license for third-party renderers either.
Take a default 8×8 grid. Extrude one polygon four units. Extrude four adjacent polys two units. Add an Attribute display property for the Volume.

Dernière version de Softimage: «la fin d’une époque» — La Presse
L’un des plus forts symboles de succès de l’industrie québécoise des technologies, Softimage, n’existera plus. L’entreprise américaine Autodesk, qui en est maintenant propriétaire, a annoncé que la prochaine version du logiciel Softimage, qui doit paraître le 14 avril, sera la dernière.
Here’s a question from the Softimage mailing list, and what I would have answered (I didn’t answer, and I didn’t peek at the other answers either).
Given a 100×100 Grid point cloud, how would you do something to the following subsets of points?
[0,5,10, … 595] and [1000,5,10, … 1595]
For something like that, modulo is an obvious way to do it:
Contrast the above with this nicer tree
Here’s [a cruder?] approach using linearly interpolated arrays:
