i for one welcome our new(Tek) overlords....
bottom line, how many wasted hours have you spent trying to get simulation 'just right' this is a great toolset for that finishing, 3am tweak before delivery.... lets hope it performs like the canned demo, or that the Fabric guys copy (and improve on) the functionality and sell us a module ;o) a _____ From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Serguei Kalentchouk Sent: 24 July 2013 09:45 To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: OT: ChronoSculpt Very interesting. I've definitely seen some of these ideas like sculpt over time done before with proprietary tools but nowhere as slick and effortless as it appears in the demo at least. I could definitely see this used in a CFX/Tech Anim pipeline with some success! On Wed, Jul 24, 2013 at 1:32 AM, Raffaele Fragapane <raffsxsil...@googlemail.com> wrote: Hadn't seen the pre-sale part. Well, that I too would be hugely skeptical about. I wouldn't trust NT with a bottle of milk, let alone hundreds of bucks of credit on a promise. Not after core and the 180. The software though has potential, and seems fresh enough.

Hopefully it's doing something valuable and new. It's always good to have something different available, but I've been cried wolf to so many times by them I can't help but be cynical. It's a shame they are pre-selling it without a demo to try - Core style, and the teaser is pretty vague on what it's actually doing. I still bet it's underneath all the fast geom handling etc it pretty much providing a world-space shape offset.

Just what's shown in the demo is something that, outside of some propietary solutions which are unlikely to be as polished, is not available to anyone. Just delivering a stable version of what they show and nothing else with a decent stability and at the right price point would be interesting enough to at least try the demo for.

I gave up on anything Newtek has to offer long ago. From anyone else might get excited about something like this, but Newtek has failed to deliver on so many times I would be a fool to get sucked into their hype machine again. Did they ever add an undo to their Dope sheet editor? I fondly remember having to reload my last save whenever I would accidentally change or delete the wrong thing in the editor.. -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it!
