Maybe my math is fuzzy... But $14,000 USD for houdini (yes, you have to pay for support in your first year) is no where near the $7,200USD price quoted on the Foundry's website to me moments ago (support is included in the first year - yay!) for a floating NukeX seat.
As an owner of a small Houdini-based shop, I must have taken this a little bit more personally then I should have ;) Best, G ps: Yes, Houdini does ship with a node based compositor. Has for many versions. Does not read DPX files.

NukeX is almost 8k USD, I think. A node-locked Houdini Master is about 7k USD. A floating is 10k USD. Or you could get a Houdini Escape which is 3k USD floating (and does include a node-based compositor btw). I think however you spin it, Randy does have a point. ;) .mm _______________________________________________ Nuke-users mailing list [email protected] http://support.thefoundry.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nuke-users
