Side Effects, Foundry watching this?

2014-03-26 Thread Alastair Hearsum
Hello We've made a fair bit of noise and getting some attention from Autodesk development team. Thats good. What also would be good, perhaps, is if Side effects and the Foundry monitor what is being said here. I'm sure they do. But if anyone has contacts in either of those two organisations

There is a clear thing Alastair, you want to use ICE then there is only one option, you have it in Houdini on steroids (VOPs), the parts that are lacking are being discussed as we speak so have serious look around.. I imagine you have seen the guides I have been producing, if not, have a proper

From my experience with side FX and Houdini their developers and support are hands down the most responsive in the industry. They fixed bugs, and some really nasty ones, in short time and released things in nightly builds. I was on a pretty intense Houdini project for 1 year and went to nightly

For people which work rely heavily on ICE, Houdini is ONLY logical way, Maya does not have nor will in near future have that. I switched to Houdini 2 years ago, but process lasted much longer. it is one of the best app I used. Daily builds are breathe of fresh air after AD. Even for modeling I

I am very keen on putting some serious time with Modo as a complement to Houdini as I believe there are real benefits on the potential future between Modo+Nuke+Mari… Exciting times although we are going to learn two packages now. :-P Jordi Bares jordiba...@gmail.com On 26 Mar 2014, at 13:21,

Jordi, if you have any Modo questions, don't hesitate to come over to The Foundry community forums and ask away. You'll get lots of help there, and some users are familiar (or quite familiar) with Softimage too. Sergio Muciño. Sent from my iPad. On Mar 26, 2014, at 9:46 AM, Jordi Bares
