Time for my first post. After all the pain and hassle of getting the NDA's signed the penultimate Softimage uber-geek-out event is over. In a word - WOW!
Great day - about 80 industry leaders joined us for 5 hours of a future-vision immersion session.
Along with an amazing view of how the industry's hardware will evolve in the years to come our guests were treated to multiple demonstrations of how Softimage will harness all this power and deliver it to our customers to make the digital art of the future.
For those of you who have heard the name Moondust but weren't at the event, get ready for a re-definition. Our brilliant team of developers showed how this amazing piece of core technology will not only will provide a platform that Softimage can develop on – but also provide an amazing interface for any creative use with a vision to build their own custom tools. May sound a little vague, but if you were there - you know what I mean.
Also pretty amazing from a raw power perspective to see an 8 core machine use all available compute cycles and flatten all the meters - demos of the task manager are usually so un-cool....but not today.
For those who attend the user group you will see some of the Research Summit technology - but packaged into more tighter demos with the added bonus of Mark Schoennagel's witty repartee.
All in all - we had a great afternoon, our sponsors AMD, NVIDIA and HP all spelled out how the hardware would change and mental images and Softimage explained how they would "rock-the-box"
Bring on the show floor!
