Re: Six foot under

ahh, c'mon, Mark. "Maya Composite" is the abandoned Toxic project, no? Do we get to see "Max Composite" in 2010 when you officially drop Combustion?

"combustion, but it did not meet the success that was needed"
did that happen before or after Autodesk laid off the development team? (around 2003, if i remember)

In my more jaded moments, I'd describe the Autodesk M&E product development process as:
1)find innovative software company (discreet, Kinetix)
2)buy company
3)release innovative product
4)ignore product
5)throw in some 3rd party add-ons and call in a new "version"
repeat 4 & 5.


...and if this post seems inflammatory, well, I guess it is ;>)
