It's OK for meshing tasks and other similar things, heavily influenced by the needs of an FX-y platform to do those, just not the "artistic" kind of platform to do it creatively or quickly.

But I have to say the modelling seems a bit like an alien land... I'll have to try Houdini to better make up my mind .

Put a bit of time and patience, it will take a bit to sink in but if you are certain type of high quality work surely is the package to consider. -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software!
