Smart smoke?
Well, it took me about 6 months after 3DSr2 shipped for me to get my
IPAS routines out the door, and I don't expect it to be much sooner
than that this time. (especially since THIS TIME we're working very
closely with Autodesk on the IPAS3 SDK itself, including a very
elegant resource editor for building dialog boxes and such)
I can't comment on anybody else's plans. Chris Allis at Autodesk
keeps track of all the current 3DS add-ons with a 3rd party developer
catalog (it was handed out at Siggraph).
