AutoVir360 – design your own virus, on the cloud, in the knowledge that you are safe at all times*. When things run out of control, don’t worry! All cloud servers and manufacture tanks are installed in our underground facility in Singapore, right next to the vaults where we keep discontinued 3D software and AI experiments – never to see the light of day again.

The way Autodesk thinks, you'll probably have to be on subscription to get it in the first place... :D Seems a fitting conclusion to Project Skyline. And yes, seriously: quite scary. But this kind of stuff is scary no matter what company is involved IMHO. Greetz Leendert -- Leendert A. Hartog AKA Hirazi Blue Administrator NOT the owner of si-community.com
Re: Shameless plug
Another question : how did the artists react to the use of XSI? Did they love it or were they bitching because they couldn't use Max anymore ( a situation I knew too often)?

What a good use of AD's resources. So developing diseases is more important than developing XSI? Please send Anthony Robbins to AD's headquarters. David On 2014-06-05 22:42, Marc-Andre Carbonneau wrote: Okay... https://www.seriouswonder.com/software-company-autodesk-creates-synthetic-virus/
Re: Software company Autodesk creates synthetic virus
Tomorrow’s biotech companies could look more like nimble and innovative software companies rather than big, risk-averse big pharma giants. I'd be happier to see today's Autodesk looking like a nimble and innovative software company rather than a big, risk-averse big software giant.

Re: Shameless plug
Matt, your description of the work involved was satisfyingly dizzying! I really do not know of another application that could have done all that with the relative ease which it sounds like many things were done. I am positive you had your problems with SOftimage, it would be impossible not to have had problems with ANY software, but the end results speak for themselves. The movies on the website are fun, and I really like the aesthetic in the game. I also love the old west old British feel of many of the characters and the voices. So many games feel like the voice actors only work on games. These clips really feel like the voice actors are all-around good actors, It certainly helps that the character animation is so good, too. Thanks for taking the time to write up such a detailed description of the making of the game,. I know I am not alone in digging those kinds of details. Congratulations!
