it is a bit harder for visual effects vendors/studios, in an already difficult market, spending money on software development (not their core business) is a hard sell. seeing a product or product in development on the other hand drums up interest which leads to real investment and collaboration. they need to see if their ideas are aligned with others on the project. don't take my comment as discouragement, it is just how i see it... for now it will be on individuals to come together on a project which shows potential. i hope we, the remaining softimage community, can do that together. again, not discouragement to any studio which wants to partner to make something happen...
