The Foundry's visual effects software Nuke was used to make the
computer-generated characters in Guardians of the Galaxy look completely real

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
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.

That would actually be a welcome thing.
An Adobe purchase might turn out to be a good thing in the end. It doesn't
