Hello everybody,

first of all, we are sorry about the absence in the last weeks. We've been super busy and it was hard to even find time to read through all the things going on here.

So maybe this is also a good time for a first general comment on the whole (quite sad) situation: 
We as a studio will for sure keep using Softimage over the coming years and not switch to another package. Besides all the sadness about the death of Softimage we see something good in the whole situation. We are quite sure all this creates lots of potential for innovation and that something great will come out of this. 
For us at the moment we are super happy with our pipeline and see little need for change. We'll carefully watch everything that's happening and will try to play a part in the development of the better things to come.

So, to comment on Projects done with ICE: Basically I can say we use it heavily in every project we are doing and I can without doubt say that we could not produce the work we do without ICE. Here's a couple of examples:

- All the spiderweb, the whole second abstract part of the film, fur and much more

- all ICE besides the car

- effects, crowds, geometry distribution/creation, animation

- the carbon

- all ice.snow stuff, all cortana elements and much more

- crowds / effects

- animation / effects

- crowds / effects / animation 

As I said, for us it's an absolutely necessary tool in our pipeline and we can not imagine going back to a pre ICE world.


All the best from Berlin,
Ilija
