What I find interesting in the fact that people want to jump the Autodesk boat is that they seem to forget they have to buy a new software. For a company that relies entirely on Softimage, that decision is not a cheap one. Houdini is 7000$ for a floating license plus 4000$ per year! http://www.s

Well yes. Putting into that perspective the poll. It is fine then. I will migrate when I find that something is better. But I believe that adding such option will give a more clear result of what is going on with us. And leaving out the "stick to Softimage" option kind of biases the poll IMHO.
