We added a few items which did not quite make it into the last release, as well as addressed some key cutomers requests. Notably: "Stereo" support and "make ICE more friendly for artists to get into". There are of course some unexpected treats like Lagoa and Polygonizer, we could not pass the chance up to work with these guys on getting their stuff integrated.
By now, we have all no doubt seen Thiago’s "Lagoa Multiphysics" teaser video, if not there is a link below. It shows what amazing fx can be achieved using Lagoa in Softimage. All the compounds that went into building those fx have been incorporated in Softimage 2011.5. Below are a few videos (put together by Chinny) outlining the principles on how Lagoa works. They only cover particles for now, so hopefully soon I can post a few more videos on some of the other Lagoa areas: Mesh Advection, Cloth and Transform Constraints.
Check out the feature list at the end. Anyway, all in all this release has been a lot of fun for me to play with - I hope it will be for you too. It should be htitting the streets in a couple of weeks or so.

I'm excited that I'm unintelligent.
