Modo has most of the same problems lightwave has, including a horrid UI (especially the texture editor) and terrible character animation tools. You would think they would bring someone in who knows about this stuff instead of leaving it to the people who made the mess of lightwave in the first place, but I guess when they are running the company pride gets in the way.

Modo might be more of a contender. Modo 701 is interesting albeit not the revolution we are expecting from the new merge of Modo and The Foundry. Modo is pretty powerful for its young age. It has some rough spots but it will come.

I really cannot handle POP CHOP SOP VOX POP HOT WOT? terminology as well as you breathe too heavily nearby then you have 17 gb of datas that you did not ask for. grass is not always greener etc. :) On 15 March 2013 14:45, Ciaran Moloney <moloney.cia...@gmail.com> wrote: I don't think it's all sweetness and light in Houdini land. It's a bug-fest just like all of these other software. And just like everybody else, users get cranky about bugs or features that have been on the list for years. Clearly there's way more positivity to every release than most every other DCC, reflecting that development has its priorities straight. So yeah, they definitely have less gripes - they get daily builds FFS! (and to be fair they pay for it...)

Perhaps updates are so Top Secret that AD doesn't want other software companies to see what's coming up... More of the same. In the meantime we can only hope that NEW IMPROVEMENTS to Softimage are coming. Something like now you can have in Maya the Softimage color scheme and vs., ... But for some small things actually the way Softimage is now with the participation of Exocortex, Eric Mootz, and the other addons that are coming out, I think that there is not too much to improve... 2013/3/14 Mário Domingos <mdomingos.p...@gmail.com> This is an example of a proper software update. http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content <http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2447&Itemid=360> &task=view&id=2447&Itemid=360 Mário Domingos www.mariodomingos.com <http://www.mariodomingos.com/> Sent from my super iPhone On 14/03/2013, at 17:10, Doeke Wartena <clankil...@gmail.com> wrote: I would like if you can see the size of objects so it's easier to make models for 3d printing. 2013/3/14 Francois Lord <flordli...@gmail.com> +1 On 14/03/2013 09:45, Eric Lampi wrote: Guys, Don't you think it's better to just wait for the list to be released before getting too worked up over it? --
