Hi Angus,
Blackginger do not really use Maya at all - they used to use it for
Ncloth, but are now using Marvelous Designer. They use Softimage for
everything up to end of animation, where they use Houdini for VFX and
rendering in Mantra - they have been that way for about 4 -5 years now.
We are using Maya up to animation, then we are doing the same with
Houdini - VFX and rendering using Mantra.
I do not know anyone else doing this, and as for Modo - not sure - they
was an ad for someone looking for Modo people, but I do not know who
they are.

Hi Sandy
Here at wits we have reached out to the places that have traditionally
used softimage to see what they were thinking of switching to. Its
interesting to hear Blackginger is also using Houdini as well as I was
under the impression it was mostly a Maya place.
Do you know any other places that are using Houdini and even Modo in their
Pipelines here in SA
Kind regards
Angus

Very little worthwhile lists for the dark side G. but we are running
houdini here now and Blackginger do too, in quite a big way - so it is
very much gaining ground.

Hey guys
This goes against my grain, but I can sit around bitching, or I can
move on.
My initial instinct says not to support AD, but I'm a freelancer and
it is important for me to slot into a team, or lead a team with the
same software.
Right now the South African market has a nice collection of both Soft
and Maya freelancers and studios.
Not much Houdini near where I live.
It stands to reason that in the future there will be more Maya than
anything else.
Only time will tell, but for now it can't hurt to get really good in
Maya (I hear one needs to be in order to fix all its fucking bugs)
So the question is: Does a mailing list like this exist for the dark
side, and if not, will you join me in making sure there is such a list
for us orphans who needs to bend over and take it in the dark place?
Thanks
G
