I agree. But we are not the target market. That is companies with large numbers 
of seats with TDs who can scripts and tweak it what they need. The solo person 
or small studio has never been their concern.

Oh my god, parents again?  Patents are worth nothing if you are not in the
business of licensing patents, which Autodesk isn't in.  Where these millions 
dollar
patents exactly, and how is that worth 35 miliions?  Hiring dozens of people in 
one
shot plus a working business is worth millions, not some useless region dumb ass
patent they never used.   Softimage`s I.P. was worth exactly zero.

All until Autodesk came.

Here is what happened in 2008:

Then when Ronald Beirouti left (who created ICE), it was definitely the end of 
ICE (and Softimage).
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/xsi_list/ElbS6ZbjKEk/vMyh8CGhCpQJ)

Peoples still think Autodesk acquired Softimage from Avid for XSI or for the 
developers team. It was all for the patents. The rest is "accessory".

How many patents Solid Angle had ?
