This will make me ask for my refund at the foundry for my modo license.

Maya also is probably not going to be the only package out there with data-driven retopology capabilities. It's just too useful for other programs to leave it on the table and I would be shocked if 3D-Coat didn't implement something similar.
Or maybe I'm just bitter because I'm a Max user too.

Between this and the sub only thing next year, I find myself playing with Blender and reading Modo threads lately.

However,y ou can really sense they want to replace every company out there. Looks like they really wanna start a lil contest against zbrsuh here (how dare they?).
But if they devlop it that far, it certianly means the end of Mudbox..
Edit: I'm glad to see all these new tools available to modelers on every software.Every is bing made to facilitate their life.
However, I'd like more tools be available for artist in other branches of Computer graphics.
I mean when will a software build automated advanced rigging tools so that animators can create their own advanced rig (better stuff than human IK plz) without programming?
Or even animation, I'm still waiting for a software to promote the Pixar way of animating; instead of selecting curves controls, you directly click on the limb you wanna control giving the artist a clean and simple UI?
They still have a few to go before becoming the ''perfect'' software.

Or akeytsu...
They are, but they had nothing to show yet ( it's the last portion of the video)
@blond: Man you keep doing the same thing every on polycount every time i read something from you i facepalm myself on how ignorant you are about few things but still make statement about those things.
"the end of mudbox" They are just bringing it into their main software because almost no one is buying mudbox itself. Also "how dare they", like seriously ? Competition is really important in software development it's what drives and push development further.
Keep dreaming,it just DOESN'T work like this in the industry, no fucking studio want to pay 10 different software for every goddamn person, and fight with the compatibility issue. Also as an artist I don'T want that either, who would want that, people are doing it atm because of the need " this don'T do that and this cost too much to afford it so used this kind of thing"
"I mean when will a software build automated advanced rigging tools so that animators can create their own advanced rig (better stuff than human IK plz) without programming?"
When will a software build automated advanced animation will be out so character artist doesn't have to find an animator to animate it ? Or a sofware build automated character modeler so animator can work alone in their studio ?We should just build a perfect software that does everything by itself
Just re-read yourself. Also Automated rig will never be as good as a real rigger, also automated doesn't fix bug by itself.
Pretty sure they are just going to end up merging both of them, have you see how much maya is becoming max with a more intuitive interface nowadays ? Maya isn't maya anymore either.
Hey bro, sorry but I think you got my message wrong.

When I said ''how dare they'', it was kind of a joke. Zbrush is so advanced and has so many tools in the sclupting department that it takes alot of nerves and courage to build similar tools in a software. Basically, I'm kinda appluading the courage they have to wirte advanced sclupting tools like these.
About automated rigs, I never meant to replace tech animators and riggers, they are an important pillar into CG, but it would always nice to have more available tools and constraints so that animators who wanna build their won character instead of always using pre-made rigs can build their cartoon rigs with limb stretching/IK-FK ,etc. without going in the node or expression editor...
1.) ADF Voxel tech for Maya. So yes, Mudbox itself will be merged into Maya. Less teams for different software products, and in turn. More productivity for software development. Especially for the greater good of animation & technical software w/ sculpting packages, not being any longer a separate deal for purchase & support.
2.) The whole "tree" bit if you listen to it. Is a new approach to "Modifier Stack" model editing in the Maya package. So yes, this could hint the idea that Autodesk supporting 2 major team departments for identical software should just Merge them completely, or quietly remove one and focus all its creative & financial efforts to just one. In this case, Maya.
All around if 3ds Max users here were to come to terms with Autodesk. That their decision is to eventually remove 3ds Max as it's own program entirely.Then to become just Maya for the entertainment industry. Autodesk will be doing a very good thing (And no, it's not because 3ds Max dies like softimage ) but simply because whatever new ideas they now have. They can consolidate it to just one 3D/Animation package. Which means, with every new release, there is new & improved features, and a lot more polishing for existing bugs.
Better yet, one place for everyone to complain about things ever taking a bad turn. So less confusion and better communication all around, and at the end. A better Autodesk we all will love, and then The Foundry will have something to ensure their ego's aren't getting too large for updating their modeling tools.
But having EVERYTHING in one application never seams like the ideal solution. It slows down iteration and innovation, does Maya have the leading unwrapping, packing, baking, viewport, and procedural texture tools? No, applications that are dedicated to those features, and improving them, do it better.
One strong message that came across (and probably he says exactly this):
Automation and strong tools allow you to focus your time on making kickass art, and spend less time fighting to get the tools to do what you want.
Remember this any time you ask stupid questions like "is using dDo cheating?" :P
Autodesk even removed it from the Autodesk Vision Series playlist??!!
they better not be reneging on this because of backlash butt-hurtery.
That aside, I am impressed. I didn't expect something like this coming from autodesk
I am still a bit skeptical for 2 reasons, though. We don't know well the viewport can handle sculpting on the performance, will you be able to replace mudbox with that? is it cabable of displaying a full character with details? In the demo they don't go too crazy with it.
Also, the tech itself isn't anything new or groundbreaking. Programs like blender were able to do similar things like people pointed out. But is it actually well integrated?. It is a recorded replay from a static camera angle that doesn't really show you how many menus the artist clicks through to get the job done. Is it really comfortable to sculpt within maya?
