In many ways a lot of good things have come out from this sad event. It forced us to look at other options such as MODO and Houdini. We were very impressed with demo people at Side Effects gave us on Houdini After spending 1 week working with MODO one of my associate was very impressed with

I see there are a lot of discussion of Modo, Houdini and even Blender as an option excluding AD products, but not much has been talk about Cinema4D. It is definitely cheaper. Anyone else looking at it as an option? Thanks, Leoung

Hi Maurice, I found out I have one 2011 Essential license which I can upgrade, the other 3 licenses are too old. Beside upgrading just that license, can I expand that license to an advance with render nodes and do I have rent options after the end of March timeline? Thanks, Leoung On
