michael Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Painting directly on the textures of 3D files & updating the models. (I'll try to post or at least link to a demo of this working as it makes things clearer.) Support for painting and layers in 32-bit/HDR files. wow...nice!

digitallysane Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 As a bit of off-topic stuff, these kind of software releases make the mainstream platforms (Windows and OS X) increasingly appealing for production, especially for small/medium studios (I suppose it's no hope for the Adobe suites to port to Linux).

LEO-oo- Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 @Dragos I had a talk at the Adobe-meeting, but they dont wanted to confirm any regarding Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitallysane Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 @DragosI had a talk at the Adobe-meeting, but they dont wanted to confirm any regarding Linux. Actually porting to Linux would make a lot of sense from a bussines point of view, in my opinion. Adobe is now in the position of fiercely competing with both Microsoft (who is trying to displace PDF and Flash) and Apple (who is trying to become the solution of choice for media production). So it seems logical for Adobe to try to rise the "alternative" platform and make Linux a believable platform for media production. Yet there is no sign that this would actually happen.

LEO-oo- Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 @Dragos For Apple: They have now the complete production suite back to MacOSX including Premiere. If you want to cross-publish (TV, DVD, BD, Web, Mobile) - this package is really nice. My impression: They still a bit afraid of the Linux-plattform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to cross-publish (TV, DVD, BD, Web, Mobile) - this package is really nice. My impression: They still a bit afraid of the Linux-plattform I have always think that the reason because Adobe don't port his tools to linux is more related to a political decission rather to technical. Nowdays are many companies releasing propietary software for linux with success, Nvidia, Adobe itself with the reader and flash plugin, opera browser, vmware, autodesk, sidefx, avid, etc ... For me one of the main reasons is related to agreements with companies like microsoft and apple. Why I think this? and Is not because the usual linux-Microsoft war, bla, bla, bla Is because Adober have been studying a port to linux for many years, look in google, and I think that if Adobe want they can do it, but the fight between operation systems and platforms is in the app areas not in the operating system, if you have apps then you have a platform. Now everybody knows that linux is at least so good than Windows or MacOSX, what is the difference: applications. If the second bigger software company, Adobe, decide to release their products to Linux, then Linux can compete with Mac and Windows in the desing/media/web field without problems. I think that Apple and Microsoft thinks that two competitors in the market is enough, and because Adobe now needs both of them as platforms for their products, everybody is happy. Except people like me that prefer to use the penguin. Maybe, as Dragos has pointed, if Microsoft and Apple increase their presion over Adobe making more products that directly comopete with Adobe products, Adobe have to port to linux in a future to try to find new markets, hopefully.

rdg Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Have followed the way of macromedia/adobe to a stable *nix flashplayer? Now everybody knows that linux is at least so good than Windows or MacOSX, what is the difference: applications. I do not disagree, but I also see that there are 1000000+ *nix derrivates and it is almost vital to compile any application to the system you want to run it. Maybe this is nowadays easy. Maybe the distribution does hide this in a installer? Who knows. But it is still easier to support a OS like M$ that maybe ugly, old, nonperforming but is monolithic. I would not define me as a techno/neophobe person but I still have better to do than trying to get a linux on my computer - at least I try to do better stuff ... If I had my personal IT department, hmmm, ... (now start the bashing) Georg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Maya, Houdini and Shake all support a limited selection of official Linux distros (usually RHEL, SUSE or Fedora) and work just fine on those distros. Most houses go with one of those three anyway (or CentOS, which is just RHEL without the $$). It just comes down to a business decision on Adobe's part. Photoshop's main customers are not Linux users and doing a third port (X11 is totally different from both Mac and Windows) would cost more than they'd make off it. cheers, -Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
