What do you mean with "customized curves", and "vector-like operations
like booleans", if I may ask? Real Nurbs-curve mangling in the 3D-scene?
If you did curve booleans already, I could spare me the effort and ask
you for considering releasing them as an addon...
Cheers,

The most effort intensive way you could possibly imagine :p
A custom renderman shader, with a custom OGL shader aligned, with
a custom OGL manipulator for custom data driven by... customized
curves. Per rig. Dozens of the F'in things. With wardrobes. And
variations. For dozens of characters.
All with vector like operations like masking, bool in, bool out,
exclude and so on set up for each rig.
Yeah they're a lot of "fun" to set up.
Ahmidou on this list was responsible for the the entire
rigging/tools stretch of it (Softimage), OGL shader (always inside
Soft) was Christian Breitling (but it might have passed other
hands) in the animation department. The actual offline rendering I
can't credit (don't remember who did it).
The animators are basically free to use basic controls, or go in
and sketch point by point any expression they can come up with on
the sorted rendering planes, vector art style.

Wow!!
I wonder how you pros did the "face rig"... you know, 2D vetor
animation projected onto 3D - a "classic" case for
cartoony/abstract characters. Could you elaborate a bit, please?
Did you use some other software, or did you stay inside Softimage?
Because it would be possible for example to animate some
curves with blend shapes and the mixer, render some 2D view of
those and map this animation onto the faces.
Best regards and congratulations!

Animal Logic, so layout, rigging and animation
are Softimage.
Still in production.
