For most places...they don't want to fix what isn't broken. They may
or may not know that there are superior tools out there but the bottom
line is that they are there to make money. Their current pipeline
works and they won't change it unless something can significantly save
them money in production costs. Hopefully, with Softimage's new
pricing scheme and possibly Moondust, things will change. If you can
break it down and show just how much time and money you can save with
software A vs. software B, then the superiors might consider it, even
if it does mean re-training some of their team.
Not to bring up an old dead horse but you have to figure in the student
factor in to it, and as of late and most schools are still very heavily
biased towards Maya. Yet the same as in the production houses, those
are large and difficult ships to turn around.
Don't forget also that the biggest expenditure for any production goes
toward salaries, so it makes sense that management may regard the
student pool as a potential resource to be tapped and where potential
savings can be made.
