In short, Houdini and Redshift - Perfect Match :) As honestly I haven't seen better support then RS team even so they are rather small compared to.. well every other :) Guys are simply amazing and now their magic mixed with Houdini magic.. may be just one thing that pushes the rest of SI people there as well.. I know I'm digging tutorials at the moment in between projects and waiting for h16. Btw when is it online? when when when, it is 21st today ᐧ
