Re: Six foot under

You've basically got it, Dean.

1) We are a 3ds shop. We have no interest in switching to Maya at this time. My reason for switching to Maya, if that ever happens, will not be for a companion app.
2) I was really interested in Toxik ... seriously. It looked like it was poised to pick up where Combustion left off. But then it disappeared and reappeared as a gimmie with Maya.
3) As Dean mentioned, when you give it away I seriously question that you're actually taking the product seriously.

For us who already have our 3D program of choice and need a compositor to do VFX work among other things, Toxik is not the answer (unless your 3D program is Maya).

Whoever said $15k is not a lot for Smoke, I will say $4.5k is lot for Nuke, even $1k is a lot, for those of us making a living on bread-and-butter type effects work.
