Another good one is that you can assign materials via the IPR windows just
by dragging and dropping them onto the objects.

Hi Francois,
all Houdini projects so far have been rendered using Mantra. For our type of
work we’ve found it performing very well in comparison with Arnold. Here’s are
some of my day to day time savers:

We’re still a Softimage pipeline, and just like most who are replying, the main
reason is for the ease in lighting, rendering, and pass setup.

I wouldn't be surprised if it got Fabric under the hood already, the whole UI

What surprised me is that this is coming from a company that hasn't done

But then again: we don't know how long they already have been working on

With those few and tiny screenshots it's hard to tell which way they're
