The point isn't its bad Raff, its good, it looks very good, a fantastic tool for artists, but why not implement some of these things like alembic and Pixar Subdiv across the board ?
also the foundry is a software company, yes it may seem strange in this day and age but they actually update their software's and develop them extend them, make them better viable solutions, they don't sit on there arse keeping the industry in a state of stagnation for the best part of 15 years occasionally buying up someones clever solutions and implementing them to make the otters clap. you know what else was originally Weta Raff, Mudbox, and where is it now? its shit Raff and getting shittier and clunkier with every release. i believe that a software company should do more then just maintenance, (if you can actually say AD actively maintains anything) also i feel we are going into that uncomfortable place again Raff so can we both agree to take it down a notch ?
