Personally Its one of the great shames in Si that the FX tree was left to gather dust. Today the UI is dated and a bit clunky but if all your after is comping layers then it does the job exceedingly well. For small shops where having to lay out additional money on a comping software was too expensive it was a godsend.
While the UI is outdated it is visual in a way that makes it easy to understand whats going on which is important when dealing with students new to concept of comping. Blender have now taken this torch and have decent compositor inside the app. ________________________________________ From: Luc-Eric Rousseau [[email protected]] Sent: 13 March 2014 06:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: YOUR TOP 5 On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 11:59 AM, Chris Marshall <[email protected]> wrote: >> I wont use it... it never was up to par IMO.

If you're opened to "rubbish UI" and want to save money, you'll get a lot more power and floating point support out of Toxik... ;) That said, someone did add compositing tools in the hypershade in Maya 2012.. http://tinyurl.com/obkqbu2 = <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:100%;"> <tr> <td align="left" style="text-align:justify;"><font face="arial,sans-serif" size="1" color="#999999"><span style="font-size:11px;">This communication is intended for the addressee only.
