Haha! You're always the eternal optimist Jordi, to your credit :) Yep, I
totally see what you're getting at. There's definitely value in the
cross-pollenisation of experience, just as long as it doesn't become a
clash of ideologies. We all know how passionate people can get!
I guess I think of it more in terms of software libraries. I wouldn't
ever recommend having a single monolithic library containing everything.
Modular is good. Plus there's nothing stopping people bringing in some
of the QLib guys to give advice anyway.

With regards to a Softimage library of tools. Great idea. Personally,
I'd recommend doing it as a separate project to QLib as you'll no
doubt want to introduce the Softimage "feel" to the tools that may or
may not sit well with the other tools in QLib. Plus you'll want to
have your own editorial control as to what you think a Softimage
artist would want and collaborate with other Soft'ies. Definitely
worth taking a look at QLib's assets though as you can learn a lot
about what's possible.
BTW, for those who haven't seen Houdini Galleries in action, I'd
strongly recommend having a look as a nice fast alternative to having
to build digital assets. Workflow wise, I find them much easier to
use than HDA’s.
Don’t you think it is precisely the balance between Softimage and
Houdini together with in-depth qLib guys expertise that provides the
real value?
Let’s imagine you put all Softimage users in a room, they will try to
copy Softimage… not good… Let’s imagine it is all Houdini users, they
will ignore Softimage so my point really is that there is huge
potential synergy in a mixed approach.
Or I am being optimistic.. ;-)

Yes. I have spent most of my time in VOPs so far and I have to say.
I don’t find it as fun or fast as ICE to get stuff done and I don’t
think its simply because I’m unfamiliar with it. Although of course
that’s true to an extent.
Not suggesting they have to replicate the ICE of doing things, but
it could do with a bit of a user-friendly overhaul. I’m finding that
I’m usually using about 3 times as many nodes to get things done,
and finding it hard to ‘compound’ them because the compounds require
a lot more inputs than in ICE.
Can I save a ‘location’? and read it later? That would help.
I also miss being able to execute lines..
