Keep in mind that while companies don't like to divulge things until near or know for release, companies that are not traded openly on the stock markets are a little more free with their info (good or bad). One good reason to take a look at the Foundry and SideFXs products AFAIK. On Wed, Mar 5,

Concerning a Modo roadmap, I couldn't share any specifics even if I had them (I don't anyway). I know generally that performance and scalability are way high up on the priority list. If they're not exactly #1, they've gotta be close to it. I think they really do realize the serious

StrandLength is just a custom attribute that gets set by some of the stand compounds as a convenience, e.g., if you want to use it to drive something else. It doesn't actually control the strand length, it's just the sum of deltas in the StrandPosition array. If you want to make the strand
