Yo, internet tough guy, I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your post, but when you post a reply to a person who is trying to be helpful you should
1) be respectful and considerate like Joe that replied before you. 2) be intelligent. Your reply is neither of the two. So you could have replied, "well, I think that a textual-based programming language is more flexible than a visual programming language", to which I would have replied, "we actually don't know, and besides, we need to define what we mean by 'flexibility', because many artists are going to see well-thought out intuitiveness as being equivalent to well-thought out flexibility". You also know, I hope, that the multihost mantra part was written by another person that I was quoting? It was part of the post made by that person to make suggestions to improve Houdini. I could have removed it, but didn't, because I believed that it wasn't necessary. Hey, if things went according to your post, why would it be then that Houdini is anticipated to have a growing market-share and is really loved by its users? Do you know how many artists and technical directors who know to program quite well use solely Houdini's nodes, of whom few actually add text-based scripts to their workflow? Ask the users of Houdini who work in a professional environment and they will say that they love Houdini. Houdini's only perceived problem is its procedural workflow (which can be very powerful), and if that inhibits your creativity, you can overcome it by complementing Houdini with a more normal 3d package. This is what Blender needs to be, the best of both worlds, or that is, the only world available. Anyways, I encourage and invite more people that are interested in Blender's future to tell us what you think of this. It should motivate people as to what Blender's real direction needs to be. -nautilus On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 12:04 AM, Reuben Martin <reube...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yo, back on Friday, May 07, 2010 nautilus was all like: >> XSI's ICE is the use of a customizable node which can be compared to >> [ ... ] >> like multihost Mantra." >> >> -nautilus > > Let play this cool game where we try to see who can use the most words to say > the least. > Bonus points for buzz words. > > -Reuben > _______________________________________________ > Bf-committers mailing list > Bf-committers@blender.org > http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers > _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
