You have to take these stupid PR articles with a grain of salt. "Zeno",
which apparently is ILM's main proprietary 3D tool, is the main app there
now. I'm sure that Maya played an important role on some level since its
so open to developers so whatever version was used for the film, I imagine
it's been so ripped and gutted that's its just a shell of its former
self...Its not the same flavor that everyone else gets served. This
"Zeno" is still a bit of a mystery to us non-ILM folk but I'm sure we will
here more about it in the near future....sounds interesting. I imagine
ILM is much similar to Pixar so almost everything will be done in
proprietary software.
