DigitalFish has its first customer! California Institute of the Arts, one of the world's leading schools for character animation, has introduced Reflex to their Freshmen animation students. After
evaluating Reflex over the summer of 2005, CalArts made the decision to replace Maya as their software of choice for teaching 3D animation. Joe Ksander, CalArts 3D animation instructor and Rhythm and Hues animator, had this to say about the change. "Last year we spent the first semester just teaching where the buttons were on Maya. This year with Reflex the students were able to start animating shots on the first day. It made a huge difference to how I was able to teach."
