Will be interesting to see what their NAB announcement is. Personally I hope they are rethinking their EDU model to match the current opportunities.

I hope they are monitoring (Houdini and Modo). I am very seriously considering going the Modo route, but I am a bit apprehensive until I can see where 801 will be going and hopefully get some sort of road map for Modo's future. I still need to look into Houdini as well. Thanks to all for posting the links for information.

Haven't heard any news on that front. Which threads were you suggesting they check out? -Tim On 3/26/2014 7:37 AM, Alastair Hearsum wrote: 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 than please point them in the direction of the more sane threads here. We would like something good to migrate to, clearly, and if our voice can be heard by all the main contenders then the chances are better that we'll get a little of what we want somewhere.
