Thank you Chris, Bifrost does look very promising. I will be interested to see how easily I can transition my pipeline from my ICE workflows to Bifrost. I am a Maya user originally but will miss ICE's simple and effective platform. I have been teaching my new fx artists using ICE because all the information is exposed to them rather then being tucked into sliders or expressions. I look forward to using Bifrost and seeing how this continues to develop.
