From the specs, it appears eyon Fusion has more tools, like a built in particle system.
Maybe I missed something?
But Toxic 2008 is a lot less expensive, surprising for an Autodesk app, hehehe.

I’m not at all concerned about the future of Combustion. In fact, I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear an announcement about Combustion2008 before the end of the year.

You should also note that the announcement says “bicubic warping”, NOT “extended bicubics”. i.e. The bicbics are not extended.

i followed the development of toxik since beta 1.0 and i think it is the right step to gain more users. i think it is one of the main isues to push in a market. and the db wonÃ‚Â´t be gone. in a real production enviroment with more then 3-5 useres it definitely makes sense. i manly work i feature film pipelines and was allways trying to get shake connected to dbs (it works, no doubt), but that is exactly why i followed toxik. and it is so intuitiv!

cause everybody is talking about combustion: iÃ‚Â´m a cmb user for a long time and i kinda love it. but its time has come and to all of you cmbs out there: if you see toxik you will definitely find alot you allready know plus some cool more stuff.

as coming from combustion and iff but now focused on shakei would say it is a cool union of all three.not in every point but in general.

i think nuke and hopefully toxik will be the future in at least feature film compositing.

my 2 cents

No, it’s no big deal except that this company has zero skills at Customer Relationship Management. I bought Combustion in March ‘04 over After Effects thinking that Discreet/Autodesk was committed to this application. It turns out that Adobe was more committed than that former. Yes, Toxik sounds nice but I bought Combustion for a 1k and was expecting that upgrades to take me into the future with this application. Now, I’m beginning to feel the sting of what some of the Discreet Edit people have said of this company with regard to how they end products with no warning.

The only thing I can say is that I hope that if Combustion is dead that they offer a decent upgrade pricing opportunity to us Combustion user. And, I really mean decent. Otherwise, they can get on down the road. I’m using Final Cut Studio more and more anyway. Maybe the new Shake (whenever it surfaces will solve my problems).

why loosing the database is good news? sure having the app without it as an option is great, for most users now. But is a great not having to save… what does combustion has to do with anything?.. merge the good things of C into Toxik, nothing to lose ..

shouldn’t the headline read “SAY GOODBYE TO COMBUSTION”?

Why just Windows and Linux? Where is the version for Mac?
