Hi Wolf, I agree with what you wrote. Overnight, I "dreamed up" what going on the learning curve for Unity would get me besides the Leia tech, and I also examined links for non-game movie-making with Unity. I'm leaning. I have a collaborator already on Unity, as well, for games.
The people at Leia I've spoken to are thrilled to be launching on the RED Hydrogen One, but realize even that is a small niche. However, it is a perfect first gambit for them to prove its buzz. Their ambition is to realize a presence on devices from Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and Google. That might take two years.
One element here is this: a decent number of films for standard 2D in theaters and cable are being filmed in 3D. To watch them in 3D on a current device such as an iPad, you have to wear glasses. Leia is counting on a surge by Big Media to harvest that content. Imagine watching Avatar or Lord of the Rings on an iPad in "depth" with no glasses. The guy next to you on the plane is going to see that and go nuts.
At some point, Leia plugins for Blender will happen. That is NOT a tiny user-base of content makers. I bet Daz is looking at this. I hope Poser does too.
