Hi David, As you saw in the thread back in 2012 I had spent quite a bit of time tinkering with Kinect and the XBox controller. Unfortunately the tools never reached release-quality and I have not worked on them since. I'm unlikely to put any more energy into Softimage related work, which is sadden

Assuming you have the time and know-how to do it, sure. But most of us who want a different paradigm aren't necessarily fulltime programmers, or programmers at all. I'd love to write my own 3D app from the ground up, I'd love to write my own paint, composite and video editing suite from the g

I always talk about stuff from my programmer-colored glasses. I say there isn't a lot of value in the fxtree code, or older compositing/paint code in general, because today anyone can download an image library, openimageio, and write you own fxtree-like compositor within a few days. I think the I
