 FTrack is a very strong back end with good API. What you do on the
 front end is up to you and your engineers/TDs. Definitely it's possible to
 code tools like that on top of ftrack. They don't come ready out of the box
 (why would they - they are company specific), but it's the same situation
 with Shotgun AFAIK.

2014-06-26 Thread Jordi Bares
We use FTrack at Realise and so far we are very happy… it is true some things 
are not as refined yet (for example, size of icons is too small to see, etc…) 
but the workflow and API is a pleasure.

We have been integrating it big time into our pipeline with Houdini and Nuke 
and so far we are very happy.

Hi Greg,

There is no build-in support for Softimage inside FTrack.
The user interface of FTrack is way better in my point of view, but there
is still some missing elements...
But it is not hard to build one on your own...

Does anyone know if there is support for Softimage in FTrack?

We have just spent the last six months using shotgun, its been pretty
awesome for the most part... but we now have to at least look very hard at
FTrack.

I just recieved this from Shotgun support:

  *First, Shotgun is not going away. We will continue to operate under the
Shotgun brand with the same team and same style. Our website, forums,
support site and team all stay in place. Second, we’re not going to slow
down. We are scaling immediately to 2X our current team size and 3X
development resources -- to go faster. Third, I’ll keep working for you as
hard as I can as the leader of our larger team. The Shotgun crew you know
and love are right here with me, and we’ll be joined by some excellent
engineering talent. Pricing, maintenance, and licensing aren’t changing.
And yes, Shotgun will continue to develop and support third party tools
from The Foundry, Side Effects, Adobe, Autodesk and more (even faster).*

*We’re making this move because we believe it’s the best possible thing we
can do for you, our clients, and the fastest way to achieve our vision of a
standardized, highly productive production and collaboration platform.*
The future is bright  Again???

The acquisition is quite different from all the other ones we’ve seen though so 
I’m really curious to see where it’s going to go from here.
First thing I want is Jira to be tied in. I need it yesterday. ;)

Certainly the Game industry will benefit from the “tripling the dev team” 
acquisition.

And Angus, if Shotgun is released under ARC, this would indeed be great for 
your students.
