An interesting situation is with Reallusion right now, I mean talk about bad decision making.

Awesome program, awesome animation tools, designed from the ground-up for being "realtime".  Problem is, it has the shittiest DX-based renderer I've ever seen, and how did they try to get around that?  In my opinion, it was creating a bridge to "Indigo" no less, something that is anything but realtime.  Due to the idiotic decision making, I've stopped purchasing iClone and kinda regret supporting them early on.  I bought into iClone BECAUSE it was a realtime environment.  It cannot get more idiotic than to concentrate on a bridge to "Indigo" when it's own realtime engine is so ourageously poor, even though iClone is designed for realtime.  Freaking hillarious decision making that was.

"Backward" really isn't sufficient enough to describe that one :-D

True...It's like role reversal, from "realtime" to single frame rendering lol. If the new engine was a game engine like UT4, then definately a step up. I would have just upgraded the actual realtime engine, and forget about indigo, unless that engine can work as fast and in realtime as the default engine, I do not see the point lol. We already have Daz and Studio for stills:) Iclone is supposed to have focus on animation, and this new indigo engine from what I can see, totally goes against what the core of the program offers or is designed to do.
