Maybe a look through the rray site would help to see the number of ways it's been used as well. There used to be a way of filtering to just show ICE related entries but I can't see it there anymore.
http://www.rray.de/xsi/ The open beauty of ICE of course is that you can dig down into the compounds, cut bits out, replace bits, extract bits for use else where, combine trees and all so easily. The fact that people can adapt research papers into open compounds that remain open and accesible is amazing. If AD can create an equivalent in Maya in a nice Humanizzzed interface by the time Soft finally shuffles of it's mortal coil, then super-duper and yippee. That seems to exist in Soft already of course, but that's another thread.

There was hint of surprise at one use of ICE that I mentioned in passing. I think we over estimate the understanding of what ICE gets used for and its all pervading usefulness. I'd like to invite people to share their ice work especially if its more obscure (without giving away your trade secrets obviously). Here are some starters for us.
