*BTW Exocortex is committed to the Softimage user community, it is both good business for us and it is very personally rewarding. :-)* Nice to hear that Ben, but I think you just have to prove it by porting Slipstream 2 to ICE ;) /Jens On Tue, Sep 4, 2012 at 3:24 PM, Ben Houston

SlipstreamVX 2 isn't even out yet! :-) We have thought about integrating SlipstreamVX to the Momentum product and having both interact with each other, but we haven't yet decided on this. We do have Fury 2 and ImplosiaFX 2 scheduled for release for Softimage in the next little while though.

The rumor was that they will stop developing 3ds max for animation, not kill it. The response was that they will not kill it and didn't even mention the animation, and at the same time saying that 3ds max Design has a 10x larger userbase. So I still think that design is where they are going with

I think the rumor is so popular because it's everyone's collective wishful thinking that Max would somehow end :) I think the chance of that approaches 0 as my math teacher used to be fond of saying... On 9/4/2012 10:21 AM, Stefan Kubicek wrote: Been there, tried that, failed, quit my job in

I know it sounds crazy, but I wouldn't doubt it. I still think ADs plan was to shift most animators away from 3ds max when they came out with 3ds max design. push arch viz to a specialized app, port ice to Maya and now all of a sudden you have 1 major 3d app to support instead of 3. JA
