Have no idea...i was being ironical...
BTW. looking over at the mudbox 2015 features, i have to say, those
are the exact same features that existed in the 2014 extension. So my
question is, what exactly is new in this point release, apart from
nothing?
Oh wait...it's just autodesk.

Except viewport 2.0. I'll admit...that's pretty good.
So at least they got the viewport right....yay!

All that autodesk ever does, is aquire tech and then slap
it on top of their software.
Right now, maya feels like a bloated piece of junk,
exactly because of that. The experience is one of constant
confusion,
running around feeling like things do not belong there,
always struggling to do stuff, going about like your going
from one country to another.
Softimage was always consistent in its user experience,
and that made it a pleasure to work with. Maya right now
is extremely inconsistent because most of its "new tech"
are in fact solutions developed by 3rd parties. It's an
incredibly inconsistent and frustrating experience. Maybe
they will get it right, someday.
The problem is, they never got it right in the past, and
they didn't get it right today...which is what matters to us.
Right now it feels like a mess. Plus my brain just hurts
at the amount of overlapping tech going on inside maya
right now.
Even bifrost vs Nfluids. What the heck is that. Make up
your mind.
I'm also curious, does bifrost talk to ncloth or nhair,
does it talk to bullet or physx, does ncloth talk to
bullet or xgen, does xgen talk to bifrost?
Remember those discussions years ago about unifying maya's
dynamics when nucleus came out at version 8.5. That was
apparently going somewhere, at snail pace, but hey at
least it felt like it was moving until ...hey, what is
this new stuff called naiad... let's just snatch that and
do something with it. Oh wait, what do we do with nucleus.
Uhmm, well, let's just keep it around and see what
happens. Bullet...hey, it's free, let's just integrate
that as well. Physx, oh wait, we've "integrated" that some
time ago...we've bragged about it for a while...let's just
keep that in there as well.
So now, you tell me, you have 4 simulation frameworks
inside maya, that do not send data back and forth between
them?
Correct me if i am wrong...because i so wish i was wrong...

How high then to you estimate the risk of Bifröst
succeeding - meaning becoming a widely accepted, fully
capable ICE equivalent?
And how long do you believe it will take?

Betreff: RE: [OT] Autodesk announces 2015 3D product

I want to be clear -- my meaning was that innovation
involves risk and we want to take that risk for
certain projects. We do NOT accept 99% failure. If
uou have a chance of 1 in 100 of succeeding on project
X that does not mean you should not try it. But it
also does not mean you should bet everything on it.
This is true of any company small or large. The
further out there you want to be, the greater the risk.

And shader effects are 3rd party I believe...and it
only works for the view port... sigh
Same with the modeling tools...just upgraded what they
bought....
Here is the problem
The folks in charge don't know that they have a
problem... They accept a 99 percent failure rate as
reasonable...smaller dev companies cant afford to fail
nearly that much.
I will say I am looking forward to that viewport...
and geodeskic binding is uber cool. I wonder how long
it will take some ICE wiz to make some of that for us :)

The only thing I see that's kind of cool is the
geodesic voxel binding skin algorithm, but I'd expect
that kind of thing in a service pack / point release.
