All until Autodesk came.  
  
Here is what happened in 2008:  
[http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=12030177&l
inkID=14271589](http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=120
30177&linkID=14271589)  
  
Then when Ronald Beirouti left (who created ICE), it was definitely the end of
ICE (and Softimage).

Peoples still think Autodesk acquired Softimage from Avid for XSI or for the
developers team. It was all for the patents. The rest is "accessory".  
  
How many patents Solid Angle had ?
