Re: softimage 2015 heads up
I've just started using it and I have to echo Martin's comments. The productivity and speed gains using ICE are MASSIVE. When I think of the weeks (literally weeks) of time that these few small tweaks would have saved me over the years since ICE's introduction it makes me want to weep. Congratulations are in order for the devs. This is really great stuff indeed.

Re: softimage 2015 heads up
Jill, thanks that's great to know. Rob, Sehsucht has also started using 2015 in production a few months ago and so far there are no complaints. Also I have been working on a few very ICE-centric jobs in 2015 during the last months and I've got to say that the new improvements in ICE have really put my workflow speed on steroids. I'm not talking about fancy new nodes or tools - but the amount of clicks, aiming and mouse movement needed to create and wire up a graph has decreased by a _huge_ factor due to the tab workflow and the naming auto-completion. So from an ICE centric point of view I'd love it if I'd never have to go back to an older version of Soft... :) Cheers, Martin -- Martin Chatterjee [ Freelance Technical Director ] [ http://www.chatterjee.de ] [ https://vimeo.com/chatterjee ] On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 10:21 AM, Jens Lindgren wrote: > Just wanted to tell that I've been running Soft 2015 for at least 6 months > now and it has been working well. > > /Jens > > On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 6:29 AM, Angus Davidson > wrote: > >> Great.

Hi Rob, >From a previous thread earlier this month it is clear that 2015 SP1 is on the works. So I think it would be sensible to not switch until then. C
