SolidAngle should not be on your list as they don't sell their product to most artists, I've been trying to get them to sell me a license of Arnold for over a year

They are still a third party developer.

Thanks Owei.

Hi guys! Over the past 18 months we've had a number of comments along the lines of "Fabric would be awesome if it wasn't in a browser, why can't you guys use Python/Qt?" So we decided it might be a smart move to do that. Helge started work on this about 3 weeks ago, so you can see how fas...

I think shoulders ,if exaggerated like this , should lead the arm/elbow movement (visible in forward motion) .Kind of like a wave motion, not all at once. Arms looks stiff in the passing position,maybe there is no need for them to be so straight in elbows as it's not natural anyways. Maybe rotate ha...

I stand corrected.

Alembic is the computer graphics interchange format developed by the two entertainment giants last year
and focused on efficiently storing and sharing animation and visual effects scenes across multiple software applications.

as a strictly single user I see no benefits from it personally

If you use Max, Maya, SI for your daily work, Alembic would be quite handy to move data around.

Ps1: Looks much better in context Bellsey, nicely done video :) Ps2: Click and drag re-ordering is great. Maybe we can see it used elsewhere in the software. I particularly would like having it on the exposed ports of compounds, as they now are a pain to reorder... Ps3: There is an easter egg... yo...

The design of the Exocortex Alembic for Softimage plugin, lead by Autodesk Master Helge Mathee , serves as the basi...

I read on some forum that Dassault wanted to buy XSI, and that it was primary reason for Autodesk to buy them, is there any truth in this? I don't know about Dassault and XSI, but I think it's irrelevant now. We can speculate and fantasize about what would happen and how XSI would be developed if i...

Don't seem to me AD care about us.
