michael Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 it likely just for visualization... I met someone at the user group party at SIGGRAPH once who worked for the CIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris3D Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 No you all are way off base. I am the user for the Air Force - I first implemented its use for the Navy several years ago. Use it for visualization and to do test predictions. If you would like to know more I and SideFX and Cristie Digital published a paper demonstrating its use at the IITSEC Conference in Orlando, Florida last December and was one of six papers nominated for conference best paper. Hope this helps but the rumors to bed.... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Santos Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks for the reply Chris3D... but I must admit that the conspiracy theory was nice and escalating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
