well... "Autodesk will not continue to market and sell Naiad as a standalone product but it is anticipated that certain Naiad technology may find its way into future Autodesk offerings. As of this time, there are no new product or offering announcements pertaining to the Autodesk software portfolio."
"...may find its way..."????? This statement tells me that they are quite far from getting that integration working. We were using Naiad for a test for a feature film. And by the looks of it, we will be going to RealFlow/Houdini right now. I don't understand why they had to kill it, it was a functional product. And we were able to render it with Arnold..... *sniff*.... regards stefan On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 2:12 PM, Marc-Andre Carbonneau <marc-andre.carbonn...@ubisoft.com> wrote: > Autodesk better move fast with NAIAD technology integration in Maya (it's > probably already happening) because killing the stand alone Naiad is just > going to make people buy Houdini more... > > > -----Original Message----- > From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com > [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Ben Houston > Sent: Monday, August 13, 2012 12:58 PM > To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com > Subject: Re: Autodesk aquires Naiad > > I think it is a good purchase as Autodesk is probably looking at Houdini > which has an integrated FLIP solver. > -ben > > On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 12:53 PM, adrian wyer > <adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com> wrote: >> http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?id=20307972&siteID=123112 >> >> >> >> a >> >> >> >> Adrian Wyer >> Fluid Pictures >> 75-77 Margaret St. >> London >> W1W 8SY >> ++44(0) 207 580 0829 >> >> >> adrian.w...@fluid-pictures.com >> >> www.fluid-pictures.com >> >> >> >> Fluid Pictures Limited is registered in England and Wales. >> Company number:5657815 >> VAT number: 872 6893 71 >> >> > > > > -- > Best regards, > Ben Houston > Voice: 613-762-4113 Skype: ben.exocortex Twitter: @exocortexcom > http://Exocortex.com - Passionate CG Software Professionals. > -- stefan andersson - digital janitor - http://sanders3d.wordpress.com
