i beg to differ Chris: (if i may call u Chris)
Many Autodesk Fans like myself have been clamoring for system level products for quite a while, not that its here, your boutique or facility will morph into something new. Its an investment for the long term. and clients WILL be able to sit behind you , if you want, unlike b4, bringing a whole new experience for you and your clientele. it will add a big new dimension.
I actually think Smoke is a NEW addition to os X but not a replacement for combustion, im expecting to see flint in a software version as well, there is your replacement, and of course, Flame later on and even lustre and the like but we will have to wait and see.
os X is now 64bit and all system level products use Kona3 cards ( to my knowledge)
lets see what happens from here !
HVX200, RED ONE, FCS and more,
High End, Production & Post Production
