Oh well and it all starts again. Better than being bought by Apple or Microsoft I guess.

Re: [Nuke-users] Adobe anyone?
My favorite snippet: The Foundry's visual effects software Nuke was used to make the computer-generated characters in Guardians of the Galaxy look completely real The company has recently launched a concept design software productcalled Modo, which means that prototype cars, phones and trainers can be drawn immediately into 3D rather than drawn first by hand in 2D and then physically built.

Re: [Nuke-users] Adobe anyone?
I'd love to see Adobe win the bid. I think there's a lot of work to be done leveraging all of that tech across the various apps, and a company like Adobe could put enough resources to make it happen where I think the Foundry has had enough to pull the raw ingredients together and pry these apps out of the studios and out into the open - but to properly merge them anytime soon, and mass market them correctly to maximize sales and cross pollination, takes possibly more muscle than they have. Not to say that they couldn't get there but Adobe stepping in would kick everything into overdrive. Modo makes a TON of sense for them to finally enter the 3d market with, since it's got it's hooks firmly planted in the design world. Nuke (and Mari) would make a great base for a Photoshop rewrite. A non destructive, truly float capable Photoshop that still maintains interactivity? Wow. We've all known dating back to Shake that this is a much better way to work, but I imagine any attempt that Apple or anyone else has ever made at a Photoshop killer was probably met with lots of patent litigation. Lots more could be done with Katana. Anyone that worked at Sony knows it's gold. Would be cool to see it pushed up the priority list or further integrated with Nuke. I imagine the real prize for Adobe is Modo, but I'd hope nothing happens to the purity of Nuke and that they wouldn't strip it for tech and then leave it for dead, like Avid/Apple/etc. I had thought the future of Nuke was relatively safe but I suppose nothing is ever a sure thing. Let's hope this isn't the kiss of death. Fusion makes me cringe (but the price is right!) On Sun, Apr 26, 2015 at 11:18 AM, Ron Ganbar ron...@gmail.com wrote: That would actually be a welcome thing.

Re: [Nuke-users] Adobe anyone?
Yes but what happens to all the technology trade deals. Katana and Nuke trade, Weta deals with Mari etc... What obstacles do those pose for those apps? As quite as the Foundry has been recently accept for Modo seems like something might already be in play. Randy S.
