Afaik the trapcode from and particular is Adobe Aftereffects only due to its internal 3D system.

Sorry, I meant to ask: How much RAM can COMBUSTION use under OS X Leopard or WinXP/Vista 64?
4gig.. like “any” other 32bit comper.

With all due respect, you’re smoking crack. The vast majority of C* users are on Windows.
Was a expression mistake i ment “big group” and not most.
No official statements from Autodesk about Combustion 2008 however
1. Dunno
2. Officially 16 but i have seen a 32gigs macpro so planty!
3. Good question, could very well be.
4. Not much ^^. I cannot put any direct words to that
5. Most of the current Combustion userbase is MAC based so it would be surprising if they did’nt.
6. No info yet
You might want to cut down on the question marks^^
Im sure there will be more to it than the colourwarper and i do agree that it is a overall bad pressrelease just letting this one feature slip out, which allready was post some month ago by mistake, so we kinda allready knew.You don’t pay 200$ for the color warper.
You pay 200$ for a Compositor, its like buying a new cellphone.. it can do what it have been able to do in the last 15 years, while a little feature here and there sneak in and you pay fully for it. You do want to stay tuned if you are working with this kind of product to get full preformence.Combustion 4 is outdated and they know, and the fact that they release another version is just a sign that they got a big enough userbase to continue the development of this software. Now from what you can see in the statement, Autodesk are’t trying to push this software to a higher level but rahter just update for the latest hardware / software support (we could always hope for some OFX or so, which i hardly dought and 64bit support wouldnt be bad eighter). Combustion is a strong composition package however not tuned for the industry any more. I know a few houses still uses it but its not something you want to invest in. AE have taken the dominance and within the powerfull CS enviroment i guess there is not much for Combustion to come for.
About Flint replacing Combustion i would disagree. You cannot compare Flint and Combustion. Flint is a industry suit while Combustion is a desktop compositor.
And i guess it is pretty wice for Autodesk not to put too much into the Combustioon project for as mentioned earlier the AE enviroment taking over and the true nodebased compositors taking over in the other end. They can still havest some money and keep a fairly good product alive, and that is what matters in this case.
While Toxic seems like a interesting initiative, a unique production enviroment that if breaking the ice would become a strong compaditor on the colaborative VFX market.-MadsL
