Joe, did you have a break down of the differences between the needs of
3D character animation artists and more engineering oriented people?
The reason for asking is that for character work you use an
approximate mesh and a detailed displacement map, whereas a person
working on buildings or technology models (even for the same scene)
requires a whole set of different tools.
Can we start with a set of sser types and then compile sets of shared
and unique tool requirements?
