I'm sure the numbers are accurate. But I'm not sure how to interpret

and Microsoft spent a lottt of money for Softimage, more than
Softimage by itself if it had been independent. example: spending
hugely on siggraph.

Thx Alan, I knew about the render region, and I'm not surprised of the toon and
quick stretch ones either.
What I really wonder is: how could any developer these days write commercial software and
hope not to infringe any patents by accident? It's a total minefield, let alone
financially
Don't worry, most of these patents and there children will have expired by
the year 2025. only about twelve years to go!

As I understand it, in even simpler terms he has a patent on guide curves
(hairs) producing an interpolated result.
I get that maybe he was among the first to think of that and implement it
in the early CG days. Kudos to him for being among the first, but in my
eyes that's a *very* fundamental
I'm a little unsure what the problem people have with him is too. Maybe I
am just missing something? Aren't there are licensing fee associated with
lots of technologies? They are then built into the cost to the consumery.
Is it really cost prohibitive because he asks for too much or something? Or
The problems are simple:
A) The patent is retardedly generic and its acceptance is questionable, but
what is done is done.
B) It was NOT the brilliant intuition that nobody had before it was claimed
to be, prior work too close for comfort existed, but it was a different
time and nobody else ran
If I had right to vote in the States I would have voted for the Governor.
So, admittedly, a Republican vote.
Still better than you sending your sheet back with all the names scribbled
out and Hitler written on top and voted on the side.

Which one? There are 50... and not all of them are Republican.

The Governor with a capital G, there's only one, and sadly he couldn't run
for presidentials.
