Look at World of Warcraft for example. By todays standards technically its supposedly not that great. What it did have however was timing. At the time it was the best of what was there and it was marketed extremely well. As such even in decline at 7 Million plus subscribers it still orders of magnitude more popular then most new MMO¹s
To me Maya is very much the same. It got to be the industry standard by being better and more marketed for a sort period of time then anything else. Now its got to the point where people have invested so much into it that its hard to think about using something else. However time = money will eventually bring houdini more and more into the main pipeline application space. Accountancy always wins. On 2014/05/22, 12:59 PM, "Leendert A.
