Re: Questions for CS6

[Bret Williams] "Why wasn't Ray trace and extrusions in AE there 10 years ago when we started using shatter to extrude?"

well, sure, but aren't we looking at a meeting of time, horespower and methodology here?

AE will never be in a position to perform like 3DSmax as a renderer really?

invigorator for instance, had some really crazy stuff back in the day, but not even there we had no native scene raytracing?

Definitely not the way that hot wheels demo shows it -

that hot wheels demo is off all my known AE charts. Nevermind the implications of the 3D camera tracker.

on the shatter thing - say I did a pants poor brian maffit shatter for this piece:

there's depth like - but that's maffit's genious hack.

I would have killed for the scene to glass glisten through the shards. (not that the two will play in ((this)) release)

as in you can extrude for sure in shatter - but the raytraced 3D interoperability with native illustrator assets adobe are showing to us here is, to my mind, jaw droppingly unheard of.

tell me you don't know serious AE heads frothing at the mouth with this release.

I do.
