'The Coming Storm'
(No NDA's were harmed in the making of this post)


Don't worry the title is just something fun I thought sounded cool (it also from an old episode of doctor who but I digress).




On to business:




Big changes are coming to the Hub and I do mean BIG changes...






The entire site is going to be revamped in time for mudbox 2010's release and some unique things will be debuting here. As a teaser let me play an almost hangman -eque game with two words that may prove to be important to a lot of you after 2k10's release. ;)



mud----er & Re-i---
(If you are one of the 6 people on planet earth who know what this refer to then you are banned from entering ;) )



I'll add one letter each few days until release....if release is delayed for any reason then so will the next letter.

This release I'll not be repeating the same 'play book' as last time of the quickstart videos etc...I'll certainly be doing a fair few, but this is a whole new 'play book' I have in mind.

A Hint: Not everything is known about.....even by beta testers....

No Questions, as I wont answer them...this is just a tease for you all to let you know that things are happening and there has been a reason for the quietness here on the hub.
Also if anyone is good at vbulletin template designs give me a shout as I really want rid of this horrid forum design FAST.

Oh and remember the Autodesk Masterclass I'm doing for mudbox (like all the others that were intended for Siggraph) will be online this year. Its long, in depth, covers alot of subjects and contains some interesting info that has a bearing on the hub. As soon as it goes live there will be a direct link taking you to it from here on the hub.

Expect a hectic few weeks on release of mudbox 2010.

I would venture to suggest that the last word is "review."

Perhaps, on a preliminary guess, the combo is "prerender and review..." I don't know if they are applicable terms, but they sound like they might be. More thoughts to be forthcoming as more letters are added.

No correct (or close ) guesses so far. If the weather is nice tomorrow I may add 2 letters ;)

Perhaps "reviews?" I don't know. I hope the weather is good enough for the two letters!

Yup, I don't think any of the rest of us were really close at all... But the point of the riddle is now overshadowed by the excitement of these two plug-ins being released.

And the videos for the plug-ins are excellent.

Huzzah for Wayne!
