2013 was release few months ago. Must wait another 4 or 5 months before something will be released.

I think this is the only "rumor" about XSI 2014 around the net

Crowds were pretty big feature for 2013. Someone used it? I mean, in production scenario?

I think modo and cinema showed how some basic or advanced sculpt capabilities is a boost in everyday workflow (Cinema sculpt is very close to mudbox and has great performance). I prefect know zbrush and mudbox are the kings of the hill, but integrated sculpt into a traditional poly modelling tool set is not aimed to replace application like zbrush.

So I quote you wish (but I think this never happen...

In any case the new team is totally unknown and might surprise us (in positive or negative)

I would settle for just a smooth brush, i can do many "sculpt-like" things with the move tool + proportional modelling but i really often miss a smooth/relax brush to clean up the mess i've made.

Not that i expect that to be added by AD but some cool coder might one day do it! :ympray:

XSI has just in it some sculpt capability, like the Move component tool + Proportional and push operator+weight map. I'm not a coder, but don't think must be so complex doing in softimage some basic sculpt tools. Softimage is just a great modelling tools, is one of the best modelling tools I ever tried, and all this tools was created years ag (applaud the wise developers)
Crowds were pretty big feature for 2013. Someone used it? I mean, in production scenario?
never touched...
I'm curious how work inside AD, who make decision about new feature or development for an application?

ad has to deliver. i mean he has to say that because si has now a different team, no sap this year and the big layoff.
i dont like statements like this after what happens the last couple of mounths. not because of ad but in general. it feels like,"guys, we are working on the product and it will be great no matter of the problems we had". a tech vid of new stuff would be better in such a situation.

That you know of. Not everyone using it will post it to this forum or can yet as they are possibly currently using it in a production. - 2 cents.

Possibly features of 2013 releases were useful for so many customers that revenue from the Media and Entertainment business segment down 10% from a year ago. Or it's a bad luck, of course. You know, solar eruptions and stuff.

Yes. They got so much money that the developers and support guys were laid off.

You're having trouble with sticking to 1 topic apparently.
