houdini is pretty much where it was 6yrs ago, utterly fantastic procedural workflow. abysmal for anything else,
normal modelling tasks are painful. forget uv/topo work. the tools just aren't there and the selection model gets in the way. rigging is light years ahead of anything i've ever seen but it's mostly moot because the anim workflow is dire compared to xsi (or any other app for that matter) sim/fx - no real need to comment on this other than to utter 'sweet mother of god!! look at the waves!' :) mantra is the poodles plums the glsl implementation has the potential to make vp 2.0 look like s/w TnL - i got matcap, a rudimentary grease pencil and currently having a go at getting a pixar style rig selection/manip workflow going. viewport tech is fantastic i'm having a rather bizarre time with houdini. -- Jon Swindells jon_swinde...@fastmail.fm On Wed, May 21, 2014, at 09:59 PM, Sebastien Sterling wrote: well... there's no organic modeling ?
