Here is one for the technical guys out there. I'm currently having a
play around with making a convex hull compound in ICE, and have been
looking at the great Alok Gandhi blog as a guide (
http://alokgandhi.com/blog/2011/04/17/convex-hull-maths-can-be-fun/ ).
How ever due to my lacking
I imagine you're looking for pure ICE approaches, but for what it's
worth, Guillaume Laforge made a C++ ICE node for convex hulls and was kind
enough to provide its sourcecode as well:

Your right, for this I would be looking to create something like this in
ICE. I had a look at Guillaume's plug-in and it works great for what I
would like to achieve but my main aim here is to learn . In fact for the
first step I would settle for making just a 2D convex hull like on
Alok's
Just noticed - inside Calc Temp Topology, connect Max Nb Triangles to the Max
Repeat of the While node. I must have been using the frame number to step
through and debug as it added a polygon at a time.

I think I can shed light on where Autodesk is going, as far as Softimage is
concerned.
Go to Google and search for Autodesk Softimage.
What is the first paid search result?
This is the one that Autodesk marketing paid Google money to display.
There is your answer.

Let's do a quick review of history:
- Microsoft bought softimage in 1994 and pushed DS and XSI onto
windows. This put windows dependencies into both products.
- Avid bought softimage after seeing the writing on the wall they'd be
squashed by Microsoft if they didn't.

Good point.
