Re: No 2013 Advantage Pack

ICE needs an interactive mode, and be able to make and read custom viewport gizmos, with input like cursor position, tablet pressure etc. So you can really make decent modelling tools with it. ICE suffers from the fact that it was designed first and foremost as a particle system, then they realised...

Re: Autodesk Lays Off 7% Of Entire Staff

@ Hirazi: I see. But it's a trend that's slowly making its way through the bigger companies, like Adobe. There are too many 'what ifs'... Biggest one: what if my internet connection is down? Sorry 'client X', we had no internet today, so all work didn't happen..... @ Sam: I'm not sure 'pay as you g...

Re: SPOILER ALERT - general Softimage 2013 description

I think that was rendered in Arnold too. On High Quality Viewport It matches almost perfectly what you get in the final render (with expetion of complitcated stuff like GI, Arealights and Refraction) and it got some nice stuff like DOF and AOC. The DOF is really nice to adjust it as I work, as I pre...

Re: SPOILER ALERT - general Softimage 2013 description

what about alembic support? is this dropped from 2013 release? no it is in there. "I stand corrected I dont see it in the list. I have to say I'm seeing a pattern of making the application more and more dependent on each other. so that you have to have the suite. No single application will cov...

Re: SPOILER ALERT - general Softimage 2013 description

first effect of Nvidia Mental Ray acquisition? Screw that! Autodesk is by far their biggest customer. if Autodesk products were to drop MR it would be bankruptcy for them or at least for that division. Autodesk needs to seriously start putting the pressure on MR to start doing a little more than ju...

Something else that Modo has that Softimage doesn't is a material library that doesn't send the application in to the spinning do-nut of despair never to return. "until restarted of course"

Re: SPOILER ALERT - general Softimage 2013 description

I found softimage one of the best (if not the best) 3d software, but this release seems a bit stunted (if you don't need crowd simulation), expecially if I compared with last modo release (ok, with all the adding of 601 release modo don't have all the tools softimage have from years, but the list o...

Re: Alembic for Softimage 1.0

isnt it in the upcoming SAP releases for Maya and Max?

though I do find it hilarious that Matthew can rip this out so quickly and yet the Softimage could not be bothered to get it in the SAP release so that Alembic transfers between SI and Maya could be possible.

Re: Siggraph 2011

yeah there was something the other day about a change in strategy from nvidia. and it looks like there is going to start being a small Quardo card that will be the base model for just about everyone and then if you need more horsepower you will simply add more tesla GPUs to the system. http://www.en...
