IPACT - for Dan Peacock

Hi Dan, (if you happen to be watching)

The very helpful Jason mentioned a production tool called Ipact
Production Studio, first released by Creative a few years ago.

Is it still available / developed?

I have been unable to find any recent working links to it anywhere or
any information more recent that Jan 2008.


All the best



Joss

Hi Joss,

ISACT is no longer maintained and has been removed from our websites.
It's a shame because it was stuffed full with features (a very advanced
interactive music system, a simple GUI driven scripting system for creating
complex sounds, various high-level objects for controlling sound playback
behaviour (e.g random selection of wavefiles and parameters, mulit-layering
of sound effects, a cool 3D path editor for preprocessed sound animations),
and a real-time editing interface for updating parameters while playing an
ISACT enabled game.   It has been used in a few commercial games, most
recently Bioware's Mass Effect.

The editor is for Windows, but the run-time has been ported to Windows,
Mac, Linux, Xbox and Xbox 360 at different points in time.

I am speaking passionately about it because I was one of the programmers
who worked on it, so I would like to see it live again.  It *may* be
possible for us to open-source the code if enough people were interested in
looking at it.   It needs a bit of updating and tidying up first though!

There's a few of us who are now over at Sony who would certainly be
willing to help clean the ISACT tool and runtime up if it were
open-sourced.  ;-)

In fact, if Creative were hesitant with regard to resource usage, I'd
be happy to personally handle setting up hosting, mailing lists, and
whatnot...

If it's possible to get this done, it would be a great gesture on the
part of Creative.  (BTW -- congrats to whoever was involved in getting
the X-Fi Linux driver code open sourced!)

I am not a programmer, just an old fashioned dubbing mixer and voice
producer and composer.

But I would be more than happy to throw in with any help as to suggested
functionality that would suit aged creative thickheads like me!

I can also help by putting together any website stuff etc that might be
useful to help promote it. I am also a bit of a google sites fanatic -
We are using it as a dev wiki for Wurm Online and I am very impressed
with it for chewing over ideas.
