Didn't Alias transition to Qt, like other Alias programs (Maya)?
- kenrose 8y agoNot to my knowledge. Maya was porting to Qt when I worked there. Alias/Studio still used its own internal UI toolkit (Edwin) at the time.
- Keyframe 8y agoIt's amazing for how long Maya's architecture has lasted. I still remember the transition period over from PowerAnimator (9.5 I think) and TDI|Explore to Maya. I've used first beta and still remember how similar, yet different it seemed. OptiFX was still better in PA, at the time (and I can't believe that was a paid add-on, same with artisan - a daylight robbery of a price). I always had a sweet spot for programs made on/for SGI. Something different and magical about them. As if they were from the future.
