Hi guys,

we're keen to speak to Senior Softimage ICE TDs for work here at MPC London starting end of August. Preferably with strong experience in Simulation/Crowds/Flocking.

Give me a shout if you're interested or know somebody!

Thanks

Jo

ICE at MPC? That's intriguing :)

Well, they do have a TVC department too. And if you want to see crowds in a feature film done in ICE, that's what we used on guardians. Jo know more than a bit about it :p

which looked great!

the soho rumours (read, drunken ranting) were that MPC got Soft in (traditionally a Maya only house) to replace the aging Alice (proprietary crowd system) which is primarily used in features (titans, troy, Robin Hood etc)

Just to be clear.. we're not using CrowdFX, we got a modest in-house tool named ALICE for that kind of stuff :)

We're just hooking ICE onto it for some specific simulation purposes.

ahh thanks for clearing that up Jo

good to hear Soft is making inroads at traditionally Maya houses though....

show's our little package of choice is still relevant in the industry, eh Autodesk?

Those looked great! Also if you wanna see more Softimage-made crowds in film, check out "Now You See Me". Among many other vfx, we (at Rodeo FX) did a rudimentary crowd system for the scenes in the MGM stage. (It was before SI|2013 was out so we couldn't use CrowdFX though.) :)

ps: Pardon the thread hijack. :p

Hi list,

we're looking for another ICE Simulation TD here at MPC London to work on Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTZ2Tp9yXyM).

Give me a shout if you're interested.

thanks

Jo

What an irony... Autodesk kills Softimage as it makes inroads at non other than MPC with a hefty RnD team
