Exactly the same here Simon, I think Mantra has come a long way in the last
couple of years. In fact it would be my next choice behind Arnold right now.
The beauty is you can have both!, the Alembic workflow in Houdini is also

Preconceptions are always a problem, Houdini probably suffers from this the

elegantly and simply than any of its contemporaries.

I think it is a great addition to Maya, and was sorely needed. But it is just

Simple things like putting the shape node inside the transform node (a la
Houdini) would be a help, the fact the transform and shape node of an object

Simple exercise, make a poly sphere, open the node editor, duplicate sphere n
times.
Perhaps not something that will put any Softimage rumours to rest, but
interesting nonetheless.
The FX guide articles are always very in-depth and well thought out and this
one is no different.

It seems to be the same four compounds, although they are all unrelated and

It would seem that my ICE tree is still evaluating after I have cached it and
disconnected all nodes apart from the cache on file node. A workaround I am
using is to make a new empty pointcloud and use that to play back my cache. I
am wondering if anyone has any other workflows for this, and
