Anyone could confirm, if they added the RT tab for the previews on buffer? Or if SI would have that RT option on the preview window (q)? Thanks. Awesome release. David Rivera 3D Compositor/Animator LinkedIN Behance VFX Reel On Thursday, September 11, 2014 4:59 AM, Simon Reeves wrote: I

It’s not a problem. As I said before I’m not taking anything personally at all (honest), though I can see how it might look that way. Adrian’s right, I do have some company line to tow, but all I’m trying to do sometimes is to hopefully clarify some facts, then you can rant. ☺ As for the term “

RE: SoftImage Artists take on Maya @ Escape Studios

That’s a significantly appropriate metaphor to describe Maya actually. It’s a D14 bulldozer capable of moving mountains without flinching, but not very handy for jetting to the corner grocery for a gallon of milk. -- Joey __ Opinions stated here-in

Houdini ships with a fixed version of Boost it uses, and the symbols are unaltered. If you rely on boost to a serious extent (e.g. can't use C++11 and therefore need Boost for things like smart pointers, counting etc.), then you either have to use the same version, and link against the existing Hou
