Very deep SDK with almost everything accessible, can add or replace bits to any part ....

very very detailed command log that logs even the littlest things you do...

Did Autodesk say that, or somebody else who just happened to be part of the show?

 

When referencing Maya, I’ve never heard anybody from Autodesk ever say it was open.  I’ve only heard such a statement from users.  Not saying Autodesk hasn’t said such a thing, just saying I have never heard them say it if they have.

I keep thinking about this sentence…

 

what do they mean by Maya being "entirely open"?

 

Do they mean open source software? clearly that is not the case.

 

Do they mean customisable? because this is not open in my book.

 

Do they mean open architecture? Because although you can add components (plugins) you can't substitute the pre-existing ones (unless I am wrong here)

 

 

So… what do Autodesk mean by saying it is "designed to be entirely open"??

 

 

And by the way… why is the Escape studio page now down????
