I know this might not be what everyone's talking about about I just want to say that the last bit was Stoick and Valka and then the bit with the music in the background at the end made me shed a happy tear XD

I wonder if that program is exclusive to Dreamworks? It would be fun as a school project to do a 10 second animation XD
Me? An otaku? Pfff.

Yes I do like dragons if you're wondering. Doesn't seem like it from my profile pic n signature, I know, but I do.

Which software clip do you talking about? There are some.

And if you speak about PREMO, yes, it is developed by DW and I don't think that they will sell it. HTTYD2 is the first movie in which they used PREMO.

Do you mean this video?

From what I've read, they might look into commercialising Premo. I'll see if I can dig up the article in question.

Edit: found it.

How Dreamworks Draws 'Dragon 2' Faster, Better,(time=1403522009)]

Jon Erlichman (Bloomberg): And along with using Apollo on future films, DreamWorks may make the technology available to other industries.

Lincoln Wallen (DWA CTO): Other business sectors also create images for various purposes. They also design product [sic] in a visual way, and all of those processes really are enhanced and sped up by Apollo.

Premo is the animation software. Apollo is that name for the entire animation software suite that includes Premo.

That's why I asked which software clip you meant.

Apollo is the complete toolset, which includes PREMO, TORCH, a new openVDB integration for Houdini and probably some more.

Edit: Looks like someone was faster. ;)

Yay for my quick wits!

In all seriousness though, I would gladly let DreamWorks take my money(if I have any to begin with) to let me have the software set. I bet that if they ever made Apollo commercially avaliable, it would cost at least between 1000 USD to 2000 USD. Because from what I can tell, they definitely spent a lot into creating the softwares. And judging from how much a set of Adobe Flash would cost by itself, it’s to safe to say that Apollo may cost above 2000 USD if it is ever commercially avaliable.

Such specific software costs mostly much more and is normally not available for consumers. because you would also need a super expensive hardware setup. If they will ever sell it, it will be available only for other companies in the first place and we're speaking here about costs of around $100,000 for the licenses.
