Eric Mootz demonstrates some of the new features in his emTools which is a free collection of tools for Softimage, mainly ICE and Shader compounds. emTools is only supported on 64 bit systems and runs with Softimage 2011 SP1 or above. emTools seems to work with Softimage 2010 SP1, too, but officially only Softimage 2011 SP1 and above is supported.

Check out the emTools suite of ICE compounds for Softimage here.
