Valve appear to be more Maya friendly. DotA 2's free-to-play economy runs
on user generated content and the released rigs are Maya (
http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125736). I think Derek's
probably right in saying there's still Softimage somewhere though.

Re: OT "add edge" tool in houdini?

[Gerbrand Nel]

Didn't go too well. I have no idea how its suppose to work.
I found this link, but it's not the same as adding edges
https://vimeo.com/103820306
I used the new topo tools, but they were less than ideal.
I just want to draw some edges to get my topology the way I want it.
Exporting to softimage was the fastest solution at the end.
Thanks for the input

have a look at polyknit.

It was a bit buggy when I used it first, but hopefully it has been 
improved for H14/15


Let us know how it goes!
