it has been only a year since they have rebranded most of the discreet products with the autodesk label
More importantly though is the fact that Autodesk’s considerable R&D resources weren’t really shared with discreet until the name changed to Autodesk Media & Entertainment. This new mony is going to have a HUGE impact on the image science research going on up in Montreal.
well, we can argue endlessly WHY FFI has languished over the last few years, but i think we can all agree that it HAS lost a little bit of ground under that autodesk banner. Although there have been a lot of changes in the industry and tools over the past few years, i don’t think that’s the sole reason. FFI product line is a bit of a mess… desktop strategy is a bit of a mess… there are an abundance of sub $500 mac/pc programs that have functionality i would kill for in flame… cross platform integration (autodesk – discreet) seems to be vaporware and we all pay an insane amount of money to be in this predicatment. dont get me wrong, Flame is still one of the best-of-breed products out there and you’ll have to pry my cold dead hand from the stylus before i’ll switch to something else – but i can’t help but notice my tool of choice getting just a *bit* long in the tooth.
my 2 cents
