Re: OT: What strong features have you found in your new transition software that SI didn´t have?

[Perry Harovas]

Transitioned to C4D and Houdini.

Mostly using C4D, surprisingly.

The amount of control is amazing, with really easy ways to do certain
things that would be
much harder in Softimage.

The curves are better, with excellent control of booleans (even curve
booleans!).
The dynamics are really surprising, too. You can easily animate a bunch of
instances along
a path, and also have them collide with each other at the same time.

Nearly EVERYTHING is drag and drop-able.

The shaders are very nice, but I miss nodal shading.

I really think of all the packages out there, C4D is the closest to
Softimage that I have seen so far.
It makes me sad that I have to move to another package, but every cloud has
a silver lining, and
the silver lining is that many things I do more often than not are much
easier now.

When they are difficult, then I can use Houdini.

Not perfect, but overall, being out of the grasp of Autodesk feels great no
matter what.

That would be a nice software to migrate. Autodesk stay away of buying it
please!

In time probably, it would make sense.

Re: Voodoo Rig Demo

It really gets interesting when they bring in those volume primitives
things

Reminds me of the implicit skinning presentation from sigg 2013

[David Saber]

I have not digged enough into Houdini yet but so far I'm blown by the 
operator stack equivalent: much more powerful!
