For once I am optimistic, AD has no product competing with Arnold, if anything Mental Ray will be left behind (as it should) and Arnold will reign as the 1st class product it is, nevertheless I will pay attention to AD next moves to see if they really intend to support all the other competitors now that they have a key product in their portfolio.
My guess is that Marcos wouldn’t have sold it otherwise so this may be actually good news after all. If having more R&D time is the goal I think Marcos has done a great move and hopefully it will propel Arnold forward in big steps rather than finessing steps.
