RE: Lets Hope Autodesk Buys the Foundry!

I could see ADSK buying Foundry for Nuke\Mari\Katana. ADSK doesn’t have similar toolsets and that would be reason enough to shore up their tool chain. That would be the final pieces to their monopoly. From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com]

Yes indeed, sorry if I wasn't clear in my sarcasm, those are the exact reasons why it -didn't- really-really need to buy (and kill) shake. They bought it, made it for Mac (and Linux) only, made a version or two, and then ditched it. Not unlike

can’t see how Apple could possibly need that – this market is much too small (+professional, specialized and difficult) to offer anything to a giant such as Apple. They need an ‘app’ they can sell in the millions, and that runs on phones and tablets, and doesn’t require any thinking by the user.

Bonjour will severely impact your network performance on Windows. We have a strict policy here to never install anything that requires it. Modo701 would not run without it. Some employees have installed Modo701 at home and have noticed all kinds of network problems afterwards. On 17-Dec-14 10:

Nope sorry, it has been a while. Not sure if it was an app or a license manager, but I can recall when you killed the Bonjour service it all worked again. So uninstalling Bonjour was the way to go ;-) Rob \/-\/\/ On 17-12-2014 16:29, Angus Davidson wrote: Thats

That's the oddest part of Houdini so far for me, how the viewport can be so inconsistent and buggy. The way component selections and polygon shading are displayed can vary a lot between sessions and OGL settings.

I must confess that after testing the three versions the most stable by a mile is the linux version, then the mac version (due to the old OpenGL in H13) and then windows which although works nicely overall has some strange things going on and slight freezes. I am waiting for Houdini 14 and see
