OK... I guess that's my cue then...
We here at Hybride used a lot of ICE to create the motion graphics inside the Jaegers... but there's not much to say, on my part anyway. We trained our staff and created a few ICE based tools over the years so that they could do these type of effects on their own. I was mostly only involved in debugging some stuff and doing a few prototypes/suggestions of certain more complex graphic effects. I was mainly busy working on White House Down, so I've been a bit out of the loop on Pacific Rim. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't really have much information. I know there's a lot of people who worked very hard to make these graphics as cool as possible. I'm very proud of my crew who are now comfortable enough to tackle such complex motion graphic projects using ICE on their own, freeing me and my team up to focus on other more complex technical challenges. Not all graphics where done using ICE. Some stuff was done with Cinema 4D, After Effects, Fusion, Flames, etc. But the more complex graphics where pretty much all ICE based. So yeah... lots of Softimage based effects where used on Pacific Rim from many vendors... Who said Softimage wasn't used on films? We've been doing a few miracles with it for years here at Hybride and we've worked on quite a few films. You can do whatever you want with Softimage as long as you take the time to set it up properly. I'll be at SIGGRAPH with some of my R&D colleagues (Guillaume Laforge, Eric Thivierge & Julien Couet). Feel free to come and chat us up if ever you cross our path. We'll participate in the deep compositing birds of a feather on Monday and on the Fabric Engine birds of a feather on Wednesday, showing a preview of some of our in house tools we are working on. I'll also be keeping an eye on this mailing list if ever you have questions about our work.
