Maya trying to get credit for Softimage (& Mootzoids) work

[Rob Chapman]

Hi guys, since its friday have you seen this?   https://vimeo.com/46478843   Is this what the ex Softimage devs moved over to Maya for - because it can't do this yet? ;) 

interesting in the comments the credits are given to Maya and some third party plugins...    did some research and it looks like it was made by some guys at a place called Piranha Bar who use 8 seats of Softimage & 3Dsmax - not a Maya in the house

 /shakes fist at the world for promoting further Softimage ignorance :)

have a great Friday folks

I was about to ask if it was softimage or no.
I could swear it is Turbulize Strands at 0,26" :)

Hang that Publicis guy who claims it is maya...

I did some checking and I believe Piranha Bar run with Softimage, Max, Vray, and also some Flame.

Really cool work,

But i couldn't help noticing the similarities between the Cadbury ad, and this: http://vimeo.com/37967381

I'm not shouting ripoff...but it does feel a bit too close for my taste. 

Cheers

Well, often working with agencies here. You have no idea (maybe) how
these guys are thirsty of fresh concept. It's behance, iso50,
butdoesitfloat, etc. all the day.
I agree, this one is at the limit...
But I'm so happy it is Sofimage :)))))

Motion capture combined with particle F/X is hardly a new thing. Am I just imagining things or have people been doing animations like both of them for many years?

I just don't think the Quayola work can really be pointed at as being something that was never done before and that no one previously had explored that same concept.

Credit should be given properly however, on that we all agree. Not surprising considering it was posted by the agency and not the studio that actually did the work.
