Flare

	Flare by Aaron Neitz on May 21, 2009 at 11:39:12 pm I was totally stoked to hear about Flare this morning. A software only version of FLAME! Just like I had hounded about in previous posts as a disgruntled Autodesk user. Until I found out it was $40K. Apparently one of the sales reps for Autodesk told our producer it was to compete against Nuke. Not at 40,000 clams it won't. Maybe at $10,000. At $8000 I think you'd have a serious contender. and oh yeah, you still need a $250,000 fully licensed Flame in order for Flare to boot up. Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Flare by Mark Suszko on May 27, 2009 at 4:26:52 pm In a one-page article in WIRED magazine, about another part of Autodesk's business, they talk about having something like nine million copies of AutoCad and it's spin-offs out there. Combustion is a pimple to them, compared to their architectural business. Flint, Flame, etc. not much better, in volume terms. So it's not a surprise that Combustion support is less of a priority.
