Re: Autodesk aquires Naiad

No, it is (was?) a stand-alone application with a gui called Naiad Studio. There were plugins for data transfer between various 3D apps and renderers and with a little effort you could send stuff back and forth between Softimage. I'm sure an ICE integration would rock if you had a plugin developer

Re: Autodesk aquires Naiad

Wow, that looks impressive. So Naiad was basically an insane fluid solver and mesher for Maya and Houdini? Looks fantastic...would love to have that resolution and detail in ICE. Kris On Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 2:13 PM, Meng-Yang Lu wrote: > It's really still anyone's game. I was JUST getting i

It's really still anyone's game. I was JUST getting into Naiad when this stuff happened and now I don't feel so bad because I was also using Realflow and Houdini. If anything, it just a clear reminder that anything can and will happen. Now the field is open for some clever peeps to take advantag

yes fair point, we've had plenty enough of *those* type threads already. Apologies for the derailment into doom and for depressing Olivier... mais oui! on a lighter note, I tried Naiad out for a month, thought it was fantastically fast in comparison to others, would severely love to be able to us

If that's what AD is going to do - suppress Softimage in favor of Maya, even if SI is the superior host platform - that would be a good example of some pretty lame product politics. Anyway... we'll see. Am 14.08.2012 18:26, schrieb Rob Chapman: Exotic Matter *were* going to support XSI themselv

Re: Autodesk aquires Naiad

Yes, Houdini's FLIP solver is very similar to Naiad at a technological level, but I am sure there are important details that differ between the two implementations when it comes to speed and user interface. -ben On Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 1:10 PM, Vincent Ullmann wrote: > As long as i know, Naiad is
