really interesting read, i just realized that static sprites in floating HUDs like Iron Man (the most futuristic HUD of our era) will get boring at some point. Even in games with VR headsets. Static meshes with hud components is not the future.
More control over the mesh that is carring a UI element is the future.
How many years old is Softimage illusion?,, lol
Props to the team behind the game.

While the FXTree is a pretty capable comp system, it can leave much to be desired compared to something like Nuke.
But the fact that it's stitched-on to a 3d app which other 3d apps still don't measure up on many fronts ... can make the FXTree like a fully procedural texture generator in one of the greatest 3d environments ever
Would have been great if the connection would have been both ways though, like piping the output of a camera, rendered on the fly or in hardware HQV to generate 2d elements from 3d. (in my dreams
)
What would also be great is if Redshift supported the FXTree out!
