I don’t think it ‘actually’ confirms anything that ICE is going into Maya, more
what Luc-Eric/Chinny and myself have said before - it took x-amount to get ICE
ready for XSI 7 and then x-amount to get it where it is now. So, getting all
that literally into Maya, wouldn’t be a short project.
Frankly no, the recent layoffs have affected many locations, divisions, and
departments. No one in particular seems to have been singled out.
For the record, I didn’t like this news any more than anyone else.
