True, but you don’t become a big business and stay there , if you don’t care

autodesk is a huge company with a wide range of programs and apps. stuff like
maya and xsi is just a tiny fraction of their overall revenue stream (in the
range of 3.5 to 4%).

Oh my god, parents again? Patents are worth nothing if you are not in the
business of licensing patents, which Autodesk isn't in. Where these millions
dollar
patents exactly, and how is that worth 35 miliions? Hiring dozens of people in
one
shot plus a working business is worth millions, not some useless region dumb ass
patent they never used. Softimage`s I.P. was worth exactly zero.

All until Autodesk came.
Here is what happened in 2008:

Then when Ronald Beirouti left (who created ICE), it was definitely the end of
ICE (and Softimage).
(https://groups.google.com/d/msg/xsi_list/ElbS6ZbjKEk/vMyh8CGhCpQJ)
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 ?
