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:
http://www.polynoid.tv/loom/
- All the spiderweb, the whole second abstract part of the film, fur and
much more
http://www.polynoid.tv/infiniti-blue-essence/
- all ICE besides the car
http://www.polynoid.tv/mtv-ema-2011/
- effects, crowds, geometry distribution/creation, animation
http://www.polynoid.tv/lenovo-thinkpad/
- the carbon
http://www.polynoid.tv/fud/
- all ice.snow stuff, all cortana elements and much more
http://www.polynoid.tv/mtv-idol/
- crowds / effects
http://www.woodblock.tv/project/crime-investigation-ice/
- animation / effects
http://www.woodblock.tv/project/dragon-eternity/
- 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

I think the Polynoid guys are too busy to post, but big parts of their
work is heavily ICE driven. I mention them spefically because they were so
kind to give me access to a strand setup they used for this:

I used it for creating similar flowy glowing energy streaks for a logo
animation, which I can't show here as it is not released yet, but I talked
to some Maya people here who said they had no idea how to do something like
that and it would probably require a very skilled scripter/coder for Maya :)
