VRoot flags a Hollywood Industry article describing a new version of the Toxik software from Autodesk. Toxik is “collaborative compositing software that includes an interactive Paint system — as well as a full 3D environment,” according to the article. This is movie-industry stuff and probably not for the general user, but what’s nice about it from the 3pointD perspective is its collaborative nature and the fact that it includes a full 3D evironment. What would be even cooler would be if you could export from that to something like a KML file — though I imagine what’s coming out of an industry-standard tool like Toxik might be far too many data points to be really useful in Google Earth. Autodesk says it’s also working on interoperability among its various tools, but that’s supported by their own fbx interchange format.
