I’m guessing the article title should read “Maxon and Red Giant to merge” 🙂
Surprising !
After Redshift, Maxon is definitely a serious gamer.
Adobe sounds more and more like the next step (but the other way round, Adobe is too big), now that they have substance, occulus medium, it makes sense.
This could be the giant to take on Autodesk.
Personnally, X-particles would have been better, maybe they’re not for sale…
Exciting times.
It’s actually Red Giant (plugins for After Effects and Premiere Pro), they did a typo on the Redshift.
Ah, good ol’ Red Giant Software, where they charge you an arm and a leg to upgrade your bundle, and then you find out that only a couple of the plugins actually changed. Another company that was high diving into the subscription pool.
C4D lacks composite features.
VFX Supercomp lacks 3D features.
So this merger is great for both sides.
I think C4D lacks several things before “composition”. They already have a good link with Adobe, this seems just redundancy for redundancy sake.
They have very outdated simulation tools not even integrated. They are too expensive for what they offer. They have no UV tools to speak about, there is some hint that some UV stuff will appear due to a post by the CEO after more that 10 years Bodypaint
C4D and Red Giant make absolutly no sence without AE! …after 10 years of waiting I think now is the time that C4D and AE comes even closer together and AE gets hopefully a brand new (real) 3D Engine on the base of C4D!
