Subject: ICE in Maya is an engineer's worst nightmare
This was posted on the 3dPro list from Chris Vienneau of AD:
"Hi everyone,
Amino has been showing up in a technology preview we have called Skyline
which is a games animation authoring system. You can find plenty of videos
online. We are still working on the technology preview with a small number
of customers. Nothing ready for prime time yet. Games animation is hard
for the record. ICE in Maya is an engineer's worst nightmare as ICE was
years of work and hooking into Softimage was a big chunk of that work.
What I can say is that anyone interested in FX in Maya and what is
happening with Naiad (anyone? :) ) should contact me or Kamal Mistry and
we can discuss.""
At least on the surface they admit it isn't as easy to just port ICE to Maya
and years of work as well. Anything regarding MayaFX in my eyes is just a
continuation / extension of dev on their FX tools.
